The Wii and nunchuk configuration is fun during the racing levels. You can play with the Wii remote and nunchuk, using the Classic controller, or with a good old GameCube controller for your diehards. The Wii version offers the most variety in controls. The game does a good job training players with an easy and unobtrusive tutorial stage, and you should be able to control Sonic with ease on both platforms. You can also shift Sonic left or right with L1/R1 or the left and right bumpers. You'll steer Sonic in the racing stages with the left stick, jump with the X/A button, perform homing attacks with the Square/X button, and slide under obstacles with the Circle/B button.

The 360 and PS3 versions control equally well.
The PS3 version offers Trophy support to counter the 360's achievements. The hubworld doesn't add much to the PS3 and 360 versions of the game, but having to fiddle around with 2D text boxes in between levels is tedious and disconnected. The Wii and PS2 dispense with the 3D hubworld and offer a 2D map with conversation points featuring short dialogue boxes and a static 2D image of an NPC offering some friendly advice. In the PS3 and 360 version these two segments are connected by a hubworld in which Sonic, and his cuddly amnesiac friend Chip, talk to townfolk, collect hidden items and find portals to unlock new levels.

Then there are the nighttime levels which have Sonic transforming into a slower Werehog who'll claw and brawl through a series of arenas and traditional platforming segments.

Keep reading to find out about all the major differences between each game! For more on the game read Hilary Goldstein's review of the 360 version here, then take a look at Matt Casamassina's Wii and PS2 reviews.
While the progression and level art are similar between each version, the PS2 and Wii versions have some unique level design and enemies, but otherwise the experience is similar to what you'll find on the PS3 and 360. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game were developed from the ground up by Sega's Sonic Team, while the Wii and PlayStation 2 versions of the game were made by Dimps (of Sonic Rush for the DS fame). Sonic Unleashed is yet another departure, mixing the puzzle racing elements from Sonic and the Secret Rings with a button-mashing brawler where Sonic transforms into a rubber-armed Werehog. From racing to third person shooting elements, Sega has boldly experimented with the Sonic franchise in hopes of finding a way to modernize the series' once vibrant 2D gameplay. Head over to our Sonic Unleashed gamepage for all of the information and media released so far.If there's one thing game fans can count on, it's Sega's willingness to take big risks. We're not sure if this is a bad omen, but we've not got long to find out. Sonic Unleashed has kept a low-profile since being announced back in April, when we were promised a return to the roots of the hedgehog series. Our apologies to Sonic fans in Japan, who we must ask to wait a while longer." The spokesperson added, for all of our Japanese readers out there: "We still cannot announce the release date in Japan, but we should be able to do so shortly. Please be assured we are doing our best to deliver a top quality experience to people all over the globe." There will be no quality difference between the North American/European/Asia release and the Japanese version. "The difference in the international release dates is based on the sales strategy and the manufacturing schedule. This is not the case and we apologise for this misunderstanding," a spokesperson for SEGA told us. "Some fans living have become concerned that there will be a difference in quality between the version of the game released in Japan and the version released outside of Japan.
The publisher also doused speculation that the European release of Sonic Unleashed would be sub-standard in comparison to the delayed Japanese version, which was apparently held back to improve quality. However, all other versions - Xbox 360, Wii and PS2 - will launch as expected on 28th November. SEGA has told Eurogamer that the PS3 version of Sonic Unleashed has been pushed back to an unspecific date in December.
