So you may have already seen yesterday's Sonic Unleashed teaser trailer featuring a mysterious werewolf. Today we can reveal that the werewolf is Sonic!
By day Sonic will be the blue hedgehog we all know and love but, when the sun sets, he turns into a werehog with claws and fangs.
This does make a difference to the gameplay as the werehog is slower but stronger, meaning he can swing around levels, move obstacles and hurl enemies around.
You can read more about the werehog in the new issue of Official Nintendo Magazine which goes on sale on Friday. Featuring an exclusive preview of Sonic Unleashed an an interview with the game's designer, Yoshihisa Hashimoto, ONM 29 is a must-read issue.
I don't know quite how I feel about the werehog transformation. It depends how different the gameplay is I suppose. If it plays a bit like knuckles, then it may work very well. Still,without more information it's hard to say. I'll remain openminded. This game looks very interesting for sure.
Oh - and Doctor Wii - you are right. Dr Robotnik sounds so much cooler than Dr Eggman. I still call him Robotnik anyway - I can't get used to Eggman, even after all these years!
I just hope that the wolf gameplay balances out the speed completely as that would make a brilliant game. there is always that doubt due to sonic 06 that makes me fear it but i have great hopes for this game and will definatly b geting it
