05: Sonic Unleashed (Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Wii)

The newest Sonic the Hedgehog game in the long-running (get it?) series, Unleashed combines cutting-edge graphics with innovative gameplay and a new character in the form of the Werehog. During a fight with his Nemesis Dr.Robotnik, Sonic is captured, and his Chaos Emeralds are drained to...to be honest i can't even remember, the story is pretty stupid, but the game is fun.
-Pros: Arguably the best Sonic gameplay of any Sonic game, incredible speed that requires fast reactions to complete levels, lightning fast, adrenaline fueled boss fights, coupled with a new system that allows you to improve Sonic's speed and stats. The graphics are gorgeous (on the PS3 and 360 versions) and the new "Hedgehog Engine" (only present on 360 and PS3) breathes new life into Sonic's world. A new gameplay mechanic melds 3D and 2D platforming seamlessly.
-Cons: During the levels you will have to collect Sun Medals and Moon Medals, which unlock later levels in the game. This is tedious and unnecessary, breaking the flow and forcing you to replay older levels and search through the (semi) free-roam zones. You will frequently find yourself unable to progress because you need more Medals.
The WereHog levels will bore you to tears, a cheap knock-off of God of War that slows the fast-paced game to a crawl. These levels are NOT optional, and to unlock more Sonic levels you will have to play WereHog levels.
-Price: The game is still hovering at around 50€/$ in stores, but used copies can be found at around 20-30€/$, do not expect a high price if you plan to sell the game, if you're lucky you could get around 10€/$ for it.
