Does that mean that there's no one left to make keep making this botched circumcision of a franchise? Cause if so, I side with the round one. With the shitty legs.
If I didn't know anything about Sonic, and Unleashed was my first game, I'd be so god damned confused at this games opening: There's a big mustache dude in a space ship, suddenly the eponymous Sonic appears, conjures gemstones from nowhere to turn yellow and starts flying. Mustache man captures him, electrifies him, and turn him into a bigger furrier hedgehog, which also turns the gemstones black for some reason. All the while mustache man ruptures the earth with his phallic space laser, and starts going off about Gaia Manuscripts and creating what sounds like an amusement park. Wtf.
So far, this is the only thing I've seen about the game yet, and it seems like this game is going to have the classic 3d Sonic problem of "this could be a great idea for a game, if we just decided on a genre, maybe RPG, and cut literally everything Sonic out of it." They keep having these stories that just don't fit. Sonic seems out of place in his own games. If the game wasn't centered around Sonic, they wouldn't need to put awfully designed mechanics revolving around "gotta go fast!" that also seem weirdly out of place with the rest of the mechanics in the game. Looking at their other titles, there seems to be a tug-of-war going on with certain game mechanics where some need you to "go fast" while others demand that you slow down. A Sonic game should never ask you to slow down. It kind of defeats the point of having speed be the character's main trait. Without a bright-blue hedgehog as the main character that never seems to take anything seriously, we might be able to get more invested into the literally world-ending plot. It really seems like someone just makes fantasy-RPGs for the Sonic team to gut and tack Sonic onto it.
Yeah, it kind of sucks that the game turns out to be nothing like it, but still. When it comes to presentation, that opening cinematic is one of the best from any game, let alone a Sonic game.
Oh, great! Unleashed! This should be-- *its the Wii version* Well, dammit. Of course. Of course it would be that one. Welp, beats watching Arin wandering aimlessly in a hub world.
A lot of them do the same impression and general voice so I don't entirely blame him. Also, pretty sure he doesn't care enough at this point to research who voiced him in which game. Also, a lot of the modern voices have been Roger Craig Smith who has been voicing him since Boom in 2014 up to and including Sonic forces. Also, just realised that in basically every price of Sonic media, Dr Eggman is voiced by Ian Pollock which includes the Boom cartoon. The only exception I believe was SAT-AM and Underground where he was voiced by Jim Cummings.
Arin knows that, he is literally a VA, and constantly talks about Sonics various VAs. But it doesn't matter, this post is two years old and they don't read comments anyway
@@lorddrayvon1426 Almost everything you said is wrong. Roger Craig Smith has voiced Sonic since 2010, not 2014. Dr Eggman is voiced by Mike Pollock, who has voiced him since Sonic X in 2003 (and the games from Shadow the Hedgehog onwards). Before that, he was voiced by Deem Bristow in the games, who sadly passed away in 2005. Jim Cummings was only Robotnik in SATAM. In Underground he was voiced by Gary Chalk, and in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog he was voiced by Long John Baldry.
6:06 I think I can actually explain how he “falls”. Basically Eggman opened the door exposing the room to the vaccuum of space which depressurizes the room and sucks Sonic and the emeralds out of the room and into space, after which there’s no friction to stop his motion so he just floats towards Earth until gravity takes over. That being said he absolutely should not be able to breathe.
Someone make a compilation of Dan telling a joke that he has already used in another game grump episode, then Arin saying he already knows the joke forgetting that it's because Dan told him before. I swear this exact scenario has happened at LEAST 2-3 times before
You know as a kid it was one of my favorites. Not so much now... But even now I'd probably enjoy replaying it. It would be a good reminiscent of my childhood.
AXHP on the bright side seeing him fuck around is pretty funny, rather than completing a boring tutorial, lost my shit when he found out Sonic could crawl.
At least the wii version is more linear meaning they're less likely to get lost. God knows how much time they would have spent in the hub worlds trying to figure out who to talk to or where to go.
I love how the comment section changed from people complaining about how they shit on sonic to people complaining about them complaining about how they shit on sonic.
After Arin shitting on Ocarina of Time for being too hard while simultaneously playing Dark Souls 3 with few issues, it's safe to say nobody watches Arin play games for his opinions on them.
Like "Oh yeah NOW it's serious after you've spent the last literal minute doing fuck all. I guess I can only expect so much from Grumps, but your bitching is immediately invalid if you don't put in any real effort dammit."
Arin plays Sonic games for the "making fun of" potential. It should be obvious by now. He loves to rag on these games no matter how decent they are and sometimes the fans get upset when he does that. If he played the better versions he would still complain and that would inevitably piss people off, so why not play the version that warrant those complaints? I mean, It's kind of annoying because the PS3/XBOX versions are WAY MORE fun and all around better significantly but Arin has to be Arin 😞
Guys, Arin knows darn well there are better versions of this game to be played. He pretty much implied it when he called the Wii version "the best port of it". He's just playing this version because it's the shittiest one and more laughs can be had from it. It's not simply so he can dump on Sonic some more. It's simply for the sake of entertainment because shitty games + Arin's grumpiness = great GG episodes. Like this game if you want to. Don't let some UA-camr's jokes hinder your enjoyment. Unless you personally attack him for having a different opinion (like how Oney Plays fans [who are even worse behaved than Lovelies surprisingly] doxxed that channel's stars for hating certain games), Arin's totally fine with you liking what he hates. Live and let live, play and let play.
THANK YOU! Jesus I feel like you're the only one in this comment section that understands that they play the bad versions of games because they are much easier to laugh at. And laughing at games is the backbone of this show! why wouldn't they make it easier and more enjoyable? think about it sonic fanbase... think about it...
Everytime the grumps do a Sonic game I get the impression that Arin likes Sonic (maybe like a guilty pleasure) because he knows an awful lot about them. I think he shits on them to be funny or likes them in a so bad it's good kinda way.
So is the X box version actually GOOD? i took one look at the warehog and said "no to that," and i am happy to say the opening cutscene only reinforced my decision there.
I've never been that big of a fan of the Sonic franchise, never played one of their games myself, but holy buttfuck I LOVE watching the grumps play them. the Sonic series are always so fucking funny, I live for them shitting on these games. LOL
Because Sonic is a iconic character in pop culture and probably the other motive is Colors and Generations have pretty good reception and critic in 2010 and 2011 (these games ur never see in gamegrumps because Arin only play bad sonic games).
Jobutt Yeah. The Sonic Boom Breakdown that Barry did for GrumpOut really opened my eyes to the production efforts put into Sonic games in the funniest way possible! I hope he does another for this game.
LegoMinecraft369 same. Arin never reads the instructions and inevitably has issues due to it. Its even more annoying if he blames the game for not telling him what to do after he JUST got mad at the game for telling him what to do.
Every time I see this game I just think about how the "were" in "werewolf" means "man, so calling Sonic a "werehog" is calling him a "man-hedgehog", not a "wolf-hedgehog".
This is my favorite sonic game ever and watching the game grumps play it is the best thing, it's fun to see them make fun of the stupid parts and suffer because it's the wii version
biggum smoggs I'm also a big fan of sonic and game grumps, and I find it hilarious when they make hilarious content out of it (adventure dx being one of my fav play through of theirs) The only Sonic play through of game grumps I really didn't enjoy is black night because Arin was literally blind hating the moment the opening cutscenes started. I don't even like black night but it isn't enjoyable to watch a guy literally scream at a screen for really no reason.
Is it just me, or does most of the settings and stories for Sonic games nowadays seems like it shouldn't include a hedgehog running around? I mean, it just looks like the writers and developers are just trying to do a big, dramatic and complicated history, and/or with some kinda of final fantasy setting, but then someones always steps in and says: "Ok, but what if Sonic was on this game?"
Really? Sonic 2006 definitely had that cringy "serious JRPG wannabe" vibe, but Sonic Unleashed is pretty on par with your average family-friendly platformer. The big monster thing never gets any more complex or backstory-riddled than "there's a big monster thing in the earth and Eggman awakened it because ancient texts said he could etc". Sonic Adventure had a more convoluted plot than Unleashed. Unleashed has a dramatic opening and a dramatic climax but is very lighthearted the rest of the way through.
Sorry, I'm not a Sonic fan, so I don't know a lot about it. And "nowadays" to me is actually any game that isn't 2D :P But since Sonic Mania will be on 2D, I should probably check it out
This game, specifically the Wii version, was a major part of my childhood and also the first Sonic game I ever played. This makes me both incredibly happy and incredibly sad.
Yeah but Sonic drowns underwater, Mario goes into space as well and we're like "alright" But how can someone who dies of drowning, be perfectly fine in space, it's poorly setting up the universe.
Obada Karabelli Dude the PS2 port is the worst! At least the models look OK on the Wii port. All the PS2 port is the same thing but WORSE in da GRAFICS
They were okay. I can't say that I loved them, but I don't have the same hatred as other people do. If they would just balance it out, make one night stage for every day stage, it wouldn't be so bad. But it just doesn't make sense that the nights last longer than the day.
Good god, just give us Sonic Adventure 2. Even if only for That scene with Sonic running alongside the President's limo. Oh and the voice acting/horrible audio mixing that makes it come off like everyone's talking over each other. It's legitimately 10 times better than the first just for how streamlined the cruddiness is. Plus we get to experience Shadow's brooding teen angst.
Oh I don't mean to come off hyper critical or anything, I grew up with both the Sonic Adventures and Sonic HEEEEROOOOOES (which they absolutely need to experience as well at some point) and I still enjoy them with their many many many flaws. I totally agree on the space levels though, specifically Tails' level/s if I remember correct. I guess the "final" boss between Sonic/Shadow was kinda anticlimactic too, haha.
@Becky_the_king I won't disagree on the space levels but there was like only one good space level which was Eggman, Sonic and Shadow's one (The one where they are outside of the spaceship. Not inside the spaceship.
I consider myself a Sonic fan and I love the Grump's Sonic playthroughs. (For anyone who believe me, I knew Arin was wrong when he said Sonic's voice is always the same. He's had 3 voice actors throughout the 3D games and this one is Jason Griffith.)
This is an entertainment show and the most entertaining episodes of any sonic playthrough are when they shit on it relentlessly. Its just makes sense that they would play the worst version. Game Grumps will never take a game seriously and i'm glad Danny and Arin haven't played any of my favorite games like Earthbound or Fire Emblem. No one should watch game grumps for their analysis, critique, and their appreciation for video games, people should watch because they like stupid humor, dick jokes, and fun and interesting conversations.Thats why i watch them.
Ian Strasma oh do I have a surprise for you, they did play earthbound, well Ross an Barry ( they are on the same level humor wise potty jokes, etc....), it was pretty good, I think they only got to the city part though, which was to bad, but I guess I never expected them to finish it, earthbound is freaken long!!!
It's just Arin's biased against Sonic is what urks me. If he was making fun of the series but wasn't completely saying that it was bad or was never good, I'd be fine with it, but he seems like he genuinely hates sonic and wants to do nothing but just hate on it, so chooses the worst versions as a result. I get the worst versions add more comedy, but his negative bias against the series doesn't make it funny for me as a Sonic fan because I know that any insult he throws to the series is more than a joke in his eyes and come from genuine emotions. At least, that's my opinion.
That one dude who posts stuff Arin actually loves Sonic. Haven't you heard about his interactions with the Sonic Twitter? He just chose the Wii version cause it's funnier for Grumps when the game is shittier.
5:00 This is how he becomes a wearwolf hedgehog? That makes no sense XD 7:32 Funny the one time they decided to watch an opening cutscene and they were supposed to do it. 10:35 I never understood that. Why are his eyes connected like that? 13:10 One of the good ones? Aren't all 3 of them good? 14:05 What even? And it's so fast too.
@@marynoble9464 Or, maybe, just maybe the average person just doesnt put any thought into the context of anything and assumes everything that's not mind numbingly simple is meaningless and stupid, like you are doing.
Watching this after having an depression and anxiety episode and am using this to cope, I'm already laughing and no longer crying and I'm not even halfway through the video... I love you guys...
Not the game their comedic talents, the cause of the episode was the overwhelming amount of people that surrounded me all at once and caused me to panic and become upset, I started watching this once I got away, the solitude calmed me while I laughed at the jokes.
Lotusclaw Yeah, seriously! The grumps are the best when you need a pick me up, it's like a 15+ minute shot of dopamine lol. Hang in there, dude! Hope your day/night gets better. :D
It's actually due to the negative energy of the Chaos Emeralds. Since Sonic is the embodiment of chaos, the result of the power being sucked out of the emeralds resulted in that transformation. The More You Know. 🌠
SONIC VOICES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS: -Cartoon = Jaleel White -Sonic Adventure DX through Sonic Heroes = Ryan Drummond -Shadow the Hedgehog through Sonic and the Black Knight = Jason Griffith -Sonic Colors through now = Roger Craig Smith
My favorite is Jason Griffith (although my favorite voice actor for sonic that wasn't mentioned here is from Sonic X, but that might be the same actor, idk)
Xac Mashe he can voice act just fine, the problem is that the writing in every game since colors has been dogshit because the writers don’t actually understand a thing about sonic
3:36 holy crap. Eggman’s captured super sonic. What is he gonna do now? 3:39 okay he’s shocking him. He’s gonna finish him off after this right? 3:43 You’re not gonna kill him aren’t you eggman?
When I was 4 years old, my mom bought a Wii with a handful of games, one of which was Sonic Unleashed. The first time I tried playing it, the opening cutscene scared me so bad, I turned the game off and ran upstairs. I have barely any memories of actually playing the game, the most memorable part for me was the beginning.
Im surprised that arin didnt instantly comment on how turning into a werehog also made sonics shoes grow spikes
His shoes became wereshoes. OBVIOUSLY.
Zack Wilson or the fact that his gloves come back when the sun comes up
It’s common science DiDn’T yOu KnOw
Our boy got cleats on 😂
I actually played this on the Wii and it was not a fun experience for me at all
In all honesty, the intro scene was fucking awesome.
The fur on awoo sonic was gorgeous
@@jojol.2630 "awoo sonic" I'm dead-

@@chemicalconfusion6164 this unironically lmao
Do you think sonic might be an alien or something along those lines
I love how arin hates sonic games so much
But yet
He knows so much about them
I think he just doesn’t want to admit that he actually wants a good sonic game for once. Unfortunately he picked a good game on a terrible port
"Know thy enemy"
He knows nothing.
If you're gonna hate something you need a reason right?
@@phcookie.t He basically knows the lore of the first 7 games. There's no way he doesn't appreciate Sonic to a point.
You got to admit the graphics were great considering it was on the wii the cutscenes I mean
That's because the cutscenes were taken from the Xbox version and ported onto the Wii version as video files.
you know, video game logic aside, Eggman just killed everyone on Earth.
I'm kinda okay with that.
Sonic existed in that universe. He did everyone a favor.
Yet somehow Froggy and Big the Cat live on in their swimming hole
Does that mean that there's no one left to make keep making this botched circumcision of a franchise? Cause if so, I side with the round one. With the shitty legs.
"Oh no the Chaos emeralds! they've gone black... they'll never go back!"
Danny please
It's no use Sonic, they're gonna be black forever.
IT'S NO USE!
Don't really like the way he said "black" there...

It was my first game😑😎

At least the wii version is more linear meaning they're less likely to get lost.
God knows how much time they would have spent in the hub worlds trying to figure out who to talk to or where to go.
At this point i think we can agree Arin is actively trying to piss off sonic fans.

there are some, just the complaining about complaining comments get voted to the top. Scroll down a lot and you'll find some nice bs there.

Nin10Boy 6464 with this game, this is why I love Arin. This game is shit.
Like "Oh yeah NOW it's serious after you've spent the last literal minute doing fuck all. I guess I can only expect so much from Grumps, but your bitching is immediately invalid if you don't put in any real effort dammit."
Now arriving at Illios
*lucio main's erections intensify*
Reima I read that as Illinois
Of all versions of the game to play, Arin had to pick the Wii one..
Of course he did. Why would he play any version of a Sonic game that sheds any positive light on the series?
You say this like the game was badly rated on the Wii compared to others. It wasn't
The wii may not have been rated badly, but the PS3/360 version is just simply better, literally just look at a comparison
its the superior version in glorious 480p
Arin plays Sonic games for the "making fun of" potential. It should be obvious by now. He loves to rag on these games no matter how decent they are and sometimes the fans get upset when he does that. If he played the better versions he would still complain and that would inevitably piss people off, so why not play the version that warrant those complaints? I mean, It's kind of annoying because the PS3/XBOX versions are WAY MORE fun and all around better significantly but Arin has to be Arin 😞
I loved this game when I was 12. I should really replay it sometime. Forgot how ridiculous and cute it is.
Guys, Arin knows darn well there are better versions of this game to be played. He pretty much implied it when he called the Wii version "the best port of it". He's just playing this version because it's the shittiest one and more laughs can be had from it. It's not simply so he can dump on Sonic some more. It's simply for the sake of entertainment because shitty games + Arin's grumpiness = great GG episodes.
Like this game if you want to. Don't let some UA-camr's jokes hinder your enjoyment. Unless you personally attack him for having a different opinion (like how Oney Plays fans [who are even worse behaved than Lovelies surprisingly] doxxed that channel's stars for hating certain games), Arin's totally fine with you liking what he hates. Live and let live, play and let play.
Coonfoot Productions OneysPlays fanbase seems pretty tame to me. They just make a bunch of bad jokes and praise Oney, Julian, and Ding Dong.
THANK YOU! Jesus I feel like you're the only one in this comment section that understands that they play the bad versions of games because they are much easier to laugh at. And laughing at games is the backbone of this show! why wouldn't they make it easier and more enjoyable? think about it sonic fanbase... think about it...
Quartz Maru Then I must just look in the comment sections where they're at their worst.
Everytime the grumps do a Sonic game I get the impression that Arin likes Sonic (maybe like a guilty pleasure) because he knows an awful lot about them. I think he shits on them to be funny or likes them in a so bad it's good kinda way.
So is the X box version actually GOOD? i took one look at the warehog and said "no to that," and i am happy to say the opening cutscene only reinforced my decision there.
Seeing a Sonic game pop up in the Game Grumps subscription feed, is the most bittersweet sensation on the planet
And it's only fitting they start the playthrough with a joke they've already made
Mr. Video Cue the Sonic 06, Sonic Adventure and Sonic and the Black Knight flashbacks.
Mr. Video I agree.
Every time they play a sonic game from my childhood my inner kid dies over and over.
I've never been that big of a fan of the Sonic franchise, never played one of their games myself, but holy buttfuck I LOVE watching the grumps play them. the Sonic series are always so fucking funny, I live for them shitting on these games. LOL
bless this, same.
Its nice to see some good vibes in these comments- I'm with ya man! ^_^
Have a great day my dude
Because Sonic is a iconic character in pop culture and probably the other motive is Colors and Generations have pretty good reception and critic in 2010 and 2011 (these games ur never see in gamegrumps because Arin only play bad sonic games).
Cool gustavo, that's great.
Jobutt Yeah. The Sonic Boom Breakdown that Barry did for GrumpOut really opened my eyes to the production efforts put into Sonic games in the funniest way possible! I hope he does another for this game.
First video i seen by them
WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING?!?!?!?!?
BlueSlippyBoy 420 you have no idea
Tyroney Baloney Watch their Mario Maker videos. NOW. Welcome btw lol.
Same .0.
You’ve missed way too much
SOOO MUCH lol
Don't worry about Jontron era though lol
I feel like we need a special grumps episode where Danny and Arin provide commentary for an episode of any sonic cartoon
I don't get mad at the Grumps when they shit on _Sonic the Hedgehog_ games. I just get mad when they don't read the damn instructions.
It is really annoying when they do that, regardless of what game it is x-x
LegoMinecraft369 same.
Arin never reads the instructions and inevitably has issues due to it. Its even more annoying if he blames the game for not telling him what to do after he JUST got mad at the game for telling him what to do.
You mean when Arin doesn't read the instructions? XD
*skips all tutorials*
"what did i do wrong?"
Meganium
stupid game design and awful controlls. how am i supposed to do that?? the game never told me about that!!!
I like how Dan is always expecting realism from a game with a talking blue hedgehog.
Pause between 3:53 and 54: what kind of expression is that! “Oh no, my stupid powers!”
Fan theory: Arin just plays sonic games now because he wants the sonic team to send him more baked goods.
True
Sonic crawling around like that brings back unpleasant memories of Sonic Dreams Collection
Every time I see this game I just think about how the "were" in "werewolf" means "man, so calling Sonic a "werehog" is calling him a "man-hedgehog", not a "wolf-hedgehog".
Yeah but "Wulfhog" isn't marketable
Robert Gilmour neither is hedgewolf
he already had fur AND walked in two legs. Like, he basically was a man-hedgehog anyways.
Sweater of Tears manhedgewolf
Sonic Team was super serial
3:03 Arin singing open your heart as super sonic came on 2 screen put the biggest smile on mah face
Dan: "How did he get on the spaceship?? He's a hedgehog!"
Me: "The Minovia Cay Space Program!"
This is my favorite sonic game ever and watching the game grumps play it is the best thing, it's fun to see them make fun of the stupid parts and suffer because it's the wii version
biggum smoggs I'm also a big fan of sonic and game grumps, and I find it hilarious when they make hilarious content out of it (adventure dx being one of my fav play through of theirs) The only Sonic play through of game grumps I really didn't enjoy is black night because Arin was literally blind hating the moment the opening cutscenes started. I don't even like black night but it isn't enjoyable to watch a guy literally scream at a screen for really no reason.
Is it just me, or does most of the settings and stories for Sonic games nowadays seems like it shouldn't include a hedgehog running around?
I mean, it just looks like the writers and developers are just trying to do a big, dramatic and complicated history, and/or with some kinda of final fantasy setting, but then someones always steps in and says: "Ok, but what if Sonic was on this game?"
Well they don't really do that anymore
Which is kinda sad because this shit was hilarious
Really? Sonic 2006 definitely had that cringy "serious JRPG wannabe" vibe, but Sonic Unleashed is pretty on par with your average family-friendly platformer. The big monster thing never gets any more complex or backstory-riddled than "there's a big monster thing in the earth and Eggman awakened it because ancient texts said he could etc". Sonic Adventure had a more convoluted plot than Unleashed. Unleashed has a dramatic opening and a dramatic climax but is very lighthearted the rest of the way through.
Sorry, I'm not a Sonic fan, so I don't know a lot about it. And "nowadays" to me is actually any game that isn't 2D :P
But since Sonic Mania will be on 2D, I should probably check it out
Ruby Moth It's an Alien Planet, be more considerate.
Yeah
The music at the beginning was extremely nostalgic for me. I have good memories of watching my little brother play this and many other sonic games.
This game, specifically the Wii version, was a major part of my childhood and also the first Sonic game I ever played. This makes me both incredibly happy and incredibly sad.
Mario can swim underwater forever and nobody bats and eye, but Sonic goes into space and everyone flips out wtf
Well, I mean... Space has a lot more ways to kill you than just a lack of oxygen.
CrimsonKnight honestly why somebody would have to point out unrealistic things in cartoony ass games? that's just a waste of time.
Yeah but Sonic drowns underwater, Mario goes into space as well and we're like "alright"
But how can someone who dies of drowning, be perfectly fine in space, it's poorly setting up the universe.
Top Anime - Because Mario Galaxy wasn't a thing, right? lol
@Robert Gilmour
Mario drowns in water in most 3D Games but is fine in space in both Galaxy games. Get off the "Sonic is Shit" bandwagon.
I freaking loved this game back when I was a kid.
I come back to this series at least once a year. This has to be my favorite series they have ever done.
it really activates my almonds how arin always play the shittiest ports of games he doesn't like.
And it really commandeers my cashews when Arin fails a tutorial level
Obada Karabelli
"Activates my almonds"
I'm gonna start using that.
The best invention since flavored condoms.
It's-a me Megatron. I'm gonna use "commandeers my cashews" too.
Obada Karabelli Dude the PS2 port is the worst! At least the models look OK on the Wii port. All the PS2 port is the same thing but WORSE in da GRAFICS
This is one of my favorite games and I'm loving this playthrough so far.
Yall need to chill! :)
How hilarious that Arin mentioned a ferris wheel because that's exactly what Eggmanland is.
I'm I the only one that likes the night stages?
nope
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh
I like them too
They were okay. I can't say that I loved them, but I don't have the same hatred as other people do. If they would just balance it out, make one night stage for every day stage, it wouldn't be so bad. But it just doesn't make sense that the nights last longer than the day.
I forgot I made this comment a year ago… nice grammar mistake me
It's gonna be fun watching all the Sonic fans get pissed off at Arin for not taking this fan fiction game seriously
*sees Sonic Unleashed in the title*
YES FINALLY THEY'RE PLAYING A GOOD SONIC GAME !
*Finds out they're playing the wii port*
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK !!!
My reaction in a nutshell, just with less mass genocide.
Moon Eraser same
ExcaliburAmi exactly I was kinda excited because this game was on of my best childhood games on the ps2 and they got the worst version of it :/
@@Dovahnuke bruh the ps2 and wii versions are the same lmao
Oh no.. I had hoped they would play the Xbox/PS3 version....
I never knew there was any other version, now I really want to know what that looks like.
Remember, these two love to shit on sonic games, hilarious or not
Brandon Brooks they still arent that good
Supermankj11 only the 360 version doesnt freeze
@@es-lb4mw I agree

CRAWLING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND
Word of advice to people new to the channel:
If you are here for a thorough and complete let's play, run while you still can
Otaku O' Clock What about Wind Waker HD?
The Charred Gamer Also don't expect a totally accurate comment section
Otaku O' Clock That's the way with OneyPlays and SuperMega too, they just don't force themselves to play games they don't want to continue
I mean, it's always been like that, what do you expect lol
the grumpies usually finish a playthrough, it's the oney boios that don't
Good god, just give us Sonic Adventure 2. Even if only for That scene with Sonic running alongside the President's limo.
Oh and the voice acting/horrible audio mixing that makes it come off like everyone's talking over each other.
It's legitimately 10 times better than the first just for how streamlined the cruddiness is. Plus we get to experience Shadow's brooding teen angst.
Oh I don't mean to come off hyper critical or anything, I grew up with both the Sonic Adventures and Sonic HEEEEROOOOOES (which they absolutely need to experience as well at some point) and I still enjoy them with their many many many flaws. I totally agree on the space levels though, specifically Tails' level/s if I remember correct. I guess the "final" boss between Sonic/Shadow was kinda anticlimactic too, haha.
@Becky_the_king I won't disagree on the space levels but there was like only one good space level which was Eggman, Sonic and Shadow's one (The one where they are outside of the spaceship. Not inside the spaceship.
Daniel Greysun can sonic fans stop praying to that game?

@Potato Wedges The simple answer is a no. Everyone has a game they like.
I love Sonic Unleashed, personally.
This game was my childhood! I remember playing this sooo much. Memories of raging with the Wii Nunchuck. And the music too! Shivers of nostalgia man
BOATYE Music if this game was your childhood. Youre still a child
Donovan Smith if he was 9 when this came out, he's a legal adult now. It's a reasonable statement to make, just a shit game to make it about
BOATYE Music same
I consider myself a Sonic fan and I love the Grump's Sonic playthroughs.
(For anyone who believe me, I knew Arin was wrong when he said Sonic's voice is always the same. He's had 3 voice actors throughout the 3D games and this one is Jason Griffith.)
JoshTheGamingNerd THANK YOU! SOMEONE WHO SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE V/A'S
I feel as though the plot of sonic unleashed, especially with the werehog thing is like they took it from a fanfiction and made it canon
*When I saw this, I said "No." and "Yes." both at the same time.*
Nyeo
King Darkstalker Yo?
Yo
King Darkstalker Nyes? Nyo? Yo?
*Sketch_ Smith, It's to compensate for... uh... basically everything else.*
This is an entertainment show and the most entertaining episodes of any sonic playthrough are when they shit on it relentlessly. Its just makes sense that they would play the worst version. Game Grumps will never take a game seriously and i'm glad Danny and Arin haven't played any of my favorite games like Earthbound or Fire Emblem. No one should watch game grumps for their analysis, critique, and their appreciation for video games, people should watch because they like stupid humor, dick jokes, and fun and interesting conversations.Thats why i watch them.
Ian Strasma oh do I have a surprise for you, they did play earthbound, well Ross an Barry ( they are on the same level humor wise potty jokes, etc....), it was pretty good, I think they only got to the city part though, which was to bad, but I guess I never expected them to finish it, earthbound is freaken long!!!
Ian Strasma their humor is so forced nowadays.
It's just Arin's biased against Sonic is what urks me. If he was making fun of the series but wasn't completely saying that it was bad or was never good, I'd be fine with it, but he seems like he genuinely hates sonic and wants to do nothing but just hate on it, so chooses the worst versions as a result.
I get the worst versions add more comedy, but his negative bias against the series doesn't make it funny for me as a Sonic fan because I know that any insult he throws to the series is more than a joke in his eyes and come from genuine emotions.
At least, that's my opinion.
That one dude who posts stuff Arin actually loves Sonic. Haven't you heard about his interactions with the Sonic Twitter?
He just chose the Wii version cause it's funnier for Grumps when the game is shittier.
Tim MVC Cringy The last word in your user name nicely sums up your comeback.
This playthrough is going to hurt a lot isn't it?
VGTAdam it wouldn't be the grumps if it didn't
VGTAdam lol I'm crying
VGTAdam for anyone who played the Xbox version, yes. It already does.
5:00 This is how he becomes a wearwolf hedgehog? That makes no sense XD
7:32 Funny the one time they decided to watch an opening cutscene and they were supposed to do it.
10:35 I never understood that. Why are his eyes connected like that?
13:10 One of the good ones? Aren't all 3 of them good?
14:05 What even? And it's so fast too.
@@navitalksalot4642 You put more thought into that comment than the writers ever did to Sonic: Unleashed's story.
@@marynoble9464 Or, maybe, just maybe the average person just doesnt put any thought into the context of anything and assumes everything that's not mind numbingly simple is meaningless and stupid, like you are doing.
@@professormemebrain1352 or maybe, just maybe, this games story line actually makes near no sense.
omg there finally playing unleashed.... oh wait the Wii version. good luck grumps
it's haf didn't even finish it.
"I'm having a waking nightmare....I'm seeing colors in the sky......"
Watching this after having an depression and anxiety episode and am using this to cope, I'm already laughing and no longer crying and I'm not even halfway through the video... I love you guys...
Not the game their comedic talents, the cause of the episode was the overwhelming amount of people that surrounded me all at once and caused me to panic and become upset, I started watching this once I got away, the solitude calmed me while I laughed at the jokes.
Lotusclaw
Yeah, seriously! The grumps are the best when you need a pick me up, it's like a 15+ minute shot of dopamine lol. Hang in there, dude! Hope your day/night gets better. :D
I know they are the best, and thank you so much :)!
Sonic Logic: Eggman Rips world into pieces, Turns into werehog
SEEMS LEGIT.
It's actually due to the negative energy of the Chaos Emeralds. Since Sonic is the embodiment of chaos, the result of the power being sucked out of the emeralds resulted in that transformation.
The More You Know. 🌠
[Inhales] ... Actually... Nah. Can't be bothered.
They explain it at one point. Just watch and go with it.
I can't believe this was 6 years ago, I remember when this series first came out! Feels great watching it again :))
SONIC VOICES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS:
-Cartoon = Jaleel White
-Sonic Adventure DX through Sonic Heroes = Ryan Drummond
-Shadow the Hedgehog through Sonic and the Black Knight = Jason Griffith
-Sonic Colors through now = Roger Craig Smith
My favorite is Jason Griffith (although my favorite voice actor for sonic that wasn't mentioned here is from Sonic X, but that might be the same actor, idk)
@@gamursnek same one
and Roger does the worst job because he can't fucking voice act.
I love them all!!
Xac Mashe he can voice act just fine, the problem is that the writing in every game since colors has been dogshit because the writers don’t actually understand a thing about sonic
How did he get on the space station? he’s a hedgehog!
Dan basically summarising all post 2000 sonic games
I hope that every series has at least "What's brown and rhymes with Snoop"
Right?? Arin only knew it because Dan told it to him in the last series haha
3:36 holy crap. Eggman’s captured super sonic. What is he gonna do now?
3:39 okay he’s shocking him. He’s gonna finish him off after this right?
3:43 You’re not gonna kill him aren’t you eggman?
Oh my god your playing the Wii version? Are you insane?!
Srb2wadlordGaming The PS 2 version is the worst
Wii version doesn't make you replay levels just to continue the game. And it's got Gamecube controller support if you don't like wrist-wagging.
MoonShadowWolfe As far as i remember, the Xbox360 and PS3 versions dont do that either.
Srb2wadlordGaming they do, but they're still better than the Wii and ps2 versions
Srb2wadlordGaming ikr
Watching someone like cobanermani456 who loves sonic play sonic and watching the game grumps play sonic are two completely different experiences
*CHILLI DOGS!!*
When I was 4 years old, my mom bought a Wii with a handful of games, one of which was Sonic Unleashed. The first time I tried playing it, the opening cutscene scared me so bad, I turned the game off and ran upstairs. I have barely any memories of actually playing the game, the most memorable part for me was the beginning.
God dammit Dan, you already told that joke to Arin.
