This isn't meant to disrespect the mod since it was made with the best of intentions, but cutting such large chunks out of any game wouldn't sit right for me if we're talking about a definitive experience.

Whether you enjoy Unleashed or not, you shouldn't be advocating for the Unleashed project as a definitive version IMO. But the Unleashed Project doesn't replace the original game in the same way the other fan-made recommendations on this list do.įor any people who are curious, my understanding is that Xbox One and the Xbox Series X/S both support backwards compatibility with many 360 games using either the original disc or buying them digitally off of the Microsoft store, and Unleashed is among them. If someone hasn't played Unleashed, but isn't particularly interested in trying the full experience, but they hear the main levels are fun, by all means I'd point them towards the Unleashed Project. Just to re-iterate, this is purely in the context of 'I've never played Sonic Unleashed and I want to see what it's like'. That's the point where I would recommend the Unleashed Project to someone who initially wanted to play Sonic Unleashed.

That experience isn't for everyone, and I'd heartily recommend someone play the Unleashed Project AFTER they've tried the official game if they come to the conclusion for themselves that they like the daytime gameplay to some degree but nothing else and cannot bear any more of the game's other content but would like to try out the remainder of the stages. Most Unleashed fans, even those who simply put up with the Werehog, would agree that it's a game that provides a certain experience that is greater than the sum of it's parts. The Unleashed Project is a marvel, but it's also just a novelty and not in any way a reasonable alternative to playing the official game if the official game is what you want to play. Every other game on this list, you could take your advice on the version to play - even unofficial ones, and be able to say 'Yeah, I've played '. This is the only one here I'd take issue with really. Yet, the best experience near to a better version of Sonic Unleashed would be Unleashed Project for Generations, as almost no one still cares for Werehog night levels. I tested the PS2 emulator on PC and it works pretty fine, while I doubt there's any good emulator for PS3/Xbox 360.

Sonic Unleashed is available for 2 consoles generations.
