  &quot;And it just makes you wonder why SEGA even bothered.&quot;<br><br>Simple. The PS2 outsold both the 360 and PS3 during Christmas of &apos;05 and &apos;06. In fact, the PS2 outsold all other versions of the game during certain months. <br><br>So, while I agree from a gameplay standpoint that they shouldn&apos;t have done it, from a business standpoint, they would&apos;ve been stupid to NOT put it on PS2!

  The fact that the Xbox 360 was technically weaker was not the reason multiplatform games performed worse on PS3. See, while the PS3 did have better overall specs, it&apos;s major flaw was that it was incredibly hard to develop for. The CELL processor of the PS3 was much more complex than a simple PowerPC processor, and developers didn&apos;t have time to optimize their game for this one specific architecture that hardly anyone knew. That&apos;s the real reason why, despite better specs, the PS3 versions of games were often worse than their Xbox 360 counterparts.

  Finally an Unleashed review that points out criticism, but still manages to give credit where credit is due ( <b>wink</b> <b>wink</b> <b>wonk</b> <b>wonk</b> the werehog stages still being fun and rewarding despite the slowness and focus on combat).

  I really think that the humans in Mario Odyssey should have had this kind of design.

  The only thing worrying me is that this is a Part One.

  I was always rather surprised that people disliked this game. I actually had lots of fun with the Wii version of Unleashed. The only things that felt somewhat wonky were the jumping physics in the night levels. The rest was pretty neat in my book.

  I&apos;m actually glad Sega released Sonic Unleashed on PS2.<br><br><br>Back in 2008 the only console I had was a PS2, and there was no way in hell I could&apos;ve convinced my parents to buy me a PS3 or a Wii. Sure, I got the literal worst version of Unleashed, but I was still glad I was able to play the game at all.<br><br><br>Fast forward 11 years and I still have not played the 360/PS3 version of Unleashed, just never got the chance to own these consoles. But I currently do have a PS4 and Switch so here&apos;s hoping they remaster Unleashed one day.

  Sonic Unleashed desperately needs a PC port.
