I remember tails saying "Look at all those Eggman's robots!" later on in lost jungle and a few other levels. Don't remember it being there.

Did you miss the bold letters? EXPLAIN! And I'm not counting the cases. I'm talking about the game itself. Not the disc its on or the case.

Re: Gaming Trivia

Resolution: The Xbox 360 has a resolution of 1920x1080 (1080p)  Which produces a crystal clear image on a LCD with the same specifications.  While the Wii only has 800x480 (480p).  Which on an HDTV produces an pixellated image.

Reliability: The Wii has a much higher reliability than the Xbox 360.  Wii's reliability has been reported as low as <1% failure rate. While the xBox 360 has a failure rate anywhere between 33%-60%.

Motion Controllers: The Xboxes take on the motion controller has no controllers, while the Wii has a "wand" type controller.  The Xbox uses an array of cameras to determine the position of a person, while the Wii using an array of different sensors (IR, Accelerometer,buttons)  to determine the persons input.

Woah... that is the best comparison of two consoles I've ever seen! Too bad it was about Sonic Unleashed sad1 XBox isn't reliable because Microsoft made it smile3 As a matter of fact my Wii has never failed me and my old XBox has only failed me once - just when I finished the final boss and it was saving it!

As for Cy, Those are both correct, but I said three and to explain them. Xeniczone's reply is an awesome example of what I wanted, sadly he did it on the wrong thing.

Re: Gaming Trivia

Let's see if I can do this right.

Graphics: The 360/PS3 versions of Sonic Unleashed used the "Hedgehog Engine", a graphics engine that Sega developed for the title.  However, the engine was designed for those two consoles. The Wii and PS2 just didn't have the power to utilize the "Hedgehog Engine".  Because of this, the two versions have completely different graphics engines.

Hub Worlds: The Wii/PS2 version utilized text-based hub worlds: you highlighted areas on a still image and engaged in short conversations with various NPCs in order to gain information and advance.  The 360/PS3 version had more traditional hubs, which Sonic ran around and explored, talking to citizens and taking on sidequests.

Gameplay: The 360/PS3 version used something called a "Ring Energy" meter to show the player's available boost, which was filled by collecting rings.  The Wii/PS2 version used a meter that had multiple stages, which was filled by performing tricks, collecting rings, and killing enemies with the homing attack.  The Wii version has three times as many Werehog levels as the other versions, also featuring a heavy focus on motion controls.

Nice, you win. But I'm pretty sure the Wii is capable of the Hedgehog engine - I've heard that Sonic Colours uses it.

I'm surprised you didn't mention much about the levels, just the one sentence in the final paragraph.
