We've seen plenty of gorgeous looking PS3 and Xbox 360 screens for Sonic Unleashed, but how is the Wii version looking? Worry not, the millions of you who are frantically pacing around the room, worrying about this tense subject, for we have a gallery of screens to set your nervous minds at rest.
The graphics are how you'd expect them to be -- they mimic the style of previous screens, and are just as colorful, but are a Hell of a lot more jaggy. The 360/PS3 screens look rather gorgeous -- these ones, not so much.
Ah well, most people have doomed this game to failure before it's even come out anyway, so I don't suppose it matters much. I still don't think the Werehog stuff is all that bad, you know. Since Sonic's 3D games have never handled the speed thing too well, I have a feeling that the action/platform elements of the Werehog stuff will probably prove to Unleashed's most successful element.

SO WHAT?! Come on, Jim! Don't tell me that you've reduced yourself to the level of the anti-Wii fanboys by putting graphics over gameplay. I have both a Wii and a PS3 (even thought my PC setup will smash them both into a pasty, red film), and I don't give a rat's ass about the graphics. If the game isn't any fun to begin with, then the graphics don't mean shit.
Playing Carnival Games in high-def wouldn't make it suck any less, and playing Ratchet and Clank in standard def wouldn't make it any less awesome. Those who think otherwise have their gaming priorities way out of whack.
Please find in the article where I said the graphics were more important than the gameplay. All I said was that the screenshots are not as gorgeous as the 360/PS3 ones. It's not a knock on the Wii, it's a statement of fact.
Please, calm down.
I just get tired of the PS3/XB360 fanboys knocking on the Wii because of its graphics. This article just seemed to be an excuse to give the Wii a bit of a bitch slap, and I get tired of seeing it. Of course, the Wii is going to be jaggy. It was never meant to be the powerhouse that the PS3 and XB360 are.
This actually looks fun.
I do wish that Wear-Sonic whatever had an aggro mode while speeding.
Burnout Revenge + Sonic = Greatest Idea Ever.
You like to poop on things too much.
It's the reason why I only buy games for the Wii that are specific to the platform.
Anyway, the graphics are more than fine. They look much better than any previous Wii or Gamecube Sonic game.
I'm still not interested in this game until they prove that you do more than press right and QTE.
In Jim's defense, though, I don't think that he "trashed" it. He's not like the fanbois who make it sound like a game isn't worth playing at all because of the jaggies.
B-but the Special Stages in the Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast!... Aw damn. :/
Back that comment up with proof, because I trash software, not systems.
So, find proof or I call bullshit.
You mean the Wii Sonic Unleased? Secret Rings has kinda been out for a while.
