The latest edition of the UK's
Official Nintendo Magazine comes with an extensive eight-page preview of
Sonic Unleashed, complete with gameplay details, fresh screenshots, and an interview with the project's lead designer, Yoshihisa Hashimoto. There's also new information aplenty on Sonic's
darker alter-ego (dubbed "Were-Sonic" by the magazine). Apparently, this character only appears at night, can traverse stages using his longer arms (
ONM describes this as "
Donkey Kong-esque"), and is slightly slower (yet more agile) than regular Sonic. Oh, and he's
not evil. Just ...
different.
Speaking of being different, Hashimoto appears super keen to disassociate the game from more recent Sonic outings, insisting that
Unleashed will have "more in common with the older
Sonic Adventure games" and "no relation to
Sonic the Hedgehog (PS3/360) or
Sonic and the Secret Rings." Hit up French site
Wiiz for the rest of the preview.
