Sonic Unleashed Wii Hands-on

The Wii version is controlled using the Nunchuk/Remote combination and features motion control for some of Sonic’s basic abilities. In the daytime “Sonic” levels, Sonic attacks using a whip of the Wii Remote after lock-on targeting an enemy; it’s surprisingly satisfying. During the nighttime “werewolf” levels, all of Sonic’s attacks are motion-based – a Wii remote thrust, or a nunchuk thrust…or a combination of both. When you’re climbing as the werewolf, you waggle both controllers alternatively.

For those who want a more traditionally playing game of Sonic, SEGA has incorporated both Classic Controller and GameCube controller support so you can simply press buttons instead of motion-waggling the devices.

Sonic Unleashed is all wrapped up and ready to go, and according to SEGA you should be expecting the Wii version to hit shelves next week.
