Wii version of Sonic Unleashed (Sonic World Adventure), day/night split gameplay. By day, Sonic runs fast through 3D/2D mixed levels across seven themed continents. By night, Sonic the Werehog fights slowly with stretchy arms beat-em-up style. Wii version technically lighter than HD but more stable. Seven international hubs to explore. Mixed on the night beat-em-up that slows pace, but daytime shines.

Description
Platform game by Sonic Team and Sega, Europe November 2008. Sonic adventures through world cities and transforms at night into the Werehog, a wolf-bear hybrid, battling monsters in melee. Classic ultra-fast Sonic levels by day and slow Werehog combat levels at night, colossal bosses and Shamar, Adabat and Empire City settings. Sonic franchise reinvention attempt with the Werehog transformation.
An action platformer from Sonic Team, Sonic Unleashed, released in Japan as Sonic World Adventure, alternates ultra fast daytime boost phases, faithful to the hedgehog's spirit, with nighttime phases where Sonic turns into a werewolf for beat 'em up combat. The exhilarating speed of the day levels and the beauty of the settings are winning. The slower, repetitive night phases strongly divide fans. A game for Sonic fans after speed, provided you accept the uneven pace on Wii.
