The game also features a gameplay mechanic previously used in the Sonic Rush series called the Sonic Boost, which greatly increases Sonic's speed, allowing him to smash through objects, destroy enemies instantly, or even access different level paths. For instance, a new sidestep feature known as the Quick Step is available, allowing Sonic to dodge left and right, and a Drift feature, which allows Sonic to make tighter turns without slowing down. In addition to moves available in past games, such as the Homing Attack, new moves are also introduced. 2D sections are reminiscent of the Mega Drive/Genesis-era Sonic games, where the player controls Sonic in a side-scrolling fashion, while 3D sections see the camera placed behind Sonic, so the player may move in all directions. Р”Вaytime levels focus on Sonic's speed, and to this extent, sees the player control Sonic through fast-moving stages containing both 2D and 3D styles of gameplay. In sections of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game, the player may choose to advance the time of day in order to play as either Sonic or the Werehog in the Wii and PlayStation 2 versions, time is advanced automatically. Each level takes place on a particular continent, each of which is based on a real-world location.

Sonic Unleashed is a platform game in which the player controls the titular Sonic the Hedgehog in two modes: fast-paced levels that take place during daytime, showcasing and using Sonic's trademark speed as seen in previous games in the series, and slower, night-time levels, during which Sonic transforms into the Werehog, and gameplay switches to an action-based, brawler style of play, in which Sonic battles Gaia enemies (those created by the main enemy in the game, Dark Gaia).

Third-person gameplay in daytime levels (Apotos, 360/ PS3 version) Despite this, the PlayStation 3 version was relisted in April 2014 and added to PlayStation Now in March 2017, while the Xbox 360 version was relisted and made backwards compatible for Xbox One in November 2018. Sonic Unleashed was delisted from retailers in 2010, following Sega's decision to remove all Sonic games with below-average Metacritic scores from sale. Many felt Unleashed was not the game to reinvigorate the series. Reviewers praised certain elements, such as the sense of speed in daylight stages and the graphics and audio that make up the environments, but criticized others, such as the Werehog game mechanic, as well as several gameplay and design concepts. While it was commercially successful, selling 2.45 million units, critical reception was mixed. Public anticipation for Sonic Unleashed was high, as video game journalists saw it as a possible return to Sonic's platforming roots. Three versions of the game were developed: one by Sonic Team for High Definition consoles such as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, one by Sonic Team and Dimps for Standard Definition consoles such as the Wii and PlayStation 2, and one by Gameloft for mobile phones. The game's existence was first brought to light when Sega trademarked the Unleashed name in March 2008, and shortly after, images and a gameplay video were leaked. The Werehog gameplay was conceived to help introduce newer gamers unfamiliar with the Sonic franchise to the series and is what influenced the use of Unleashed as a subtitle for western markets. It was initially conceived as a sequel to Sonic Adventure 2 (2001), but developer Sonic Team began to introduce enough new innovations that separated it from previous games, and it was renamed The World Adventure in domestic markets. The game's development began in 2006 and lasted 18 months, after the creation of its game engine, the Hedgehog Engine. Night-time levels see Sonic transform into the Werehog gameplay slows down to accommodate greater platform play, and involves combat against waves of enemies using the Werehog's brute strength. Daytime stages incorporate Sonic's traditional platforming and trademark speed, with a combination of behind-the-back third-person viewpoints and 2D side-scroller platforming gameplay seamlessly transitions between these two views. Gameplay features two distinct styles, with each being played either during daytime or nighttime.

The story follows Sonic as he attempts to restore the world after his nemesis Doctor Eggman shatters it with a powerful laser to unleash Dark Gaia, an ancient evil, while dealing with having become a 'Werehog', a werewolf-like transformation, which he gains after coming into contact with the energy of Dark Gaia.
