Sonic Unleashed has been released (hey that rhymes) today for the Wii and the PlayStation 2. The other versions of the game will come later, with the Xbox 360 version scheduled for release on November 24th with the PS3 version hitting on December 12th.
The Wii version will include motion controls support with the Wii and Nunchuck (such as shaking the Wii Remote to activate boost and homing attacks) and will also include support for the GameCube and Classic Controllers. Both the PS2 and Wii versions will include modified versions of the levels in the PS3 and Xbox 360 version with lower-end graphics based on an existing Sonic engine, instead of the all-new engine used in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game for next-gen visuals.
In Sonic Unleashed, everyone’s favorite hedgehog breaks new ground yet maintains his roots in a game that combines amazing next gen capabilities with classic Sonic 2D gameplay! Developed by renowned studio Sonic Team, Sonic Unleashed utilizes the powerful “Hedgehog Engine” to mesh seamless 3D and classic 2D camera transitions, whilst delivering a rich and expansive world with multiple paths to choose from.

In doing so, Sonic will find himself in a race against time and faced with an unusual situation that will challenge him in ways never before seen. By completing a wide variety of action-packed stages, spanning the seven broken continents of the world, gamers will need to unleash Sonic’s amazing abilities to save the world, and himself!
