Sonic Unleashed is the first 3D installment in the "boost" gameplay sub-series of Sonic titles. While it received mixed to negative reviews at the time of its release (to the point of being delisted from digital storefronts), it has since seen acclaim for being a return to form for the series after the infamous Sonic 2006, with many fans clamoring for a modern day rerelease.
In recent years, the game has become more accessible via backwards-compatibility on newer consoles.

Debugging Features
The debugging features in the game are not accessed by any normal means, to find them and have them function requires files in the game being unpacked and being edited. Most of these are accessed from some of the #XX.ar.xx files that correspond to a file that is a stage, preference or character.
To do: There are a lot more of these features lying around the files of the game, they need to be found and documented. I will have a few up soon... |
Collision Render
In any of the scenes in the game that also have a #XX.ar.xx file name structure, there may be a file found inside called Stage.stg.xml, this file has an option where you can have the collision rendered in the map. The option for this is the string: <IsCollisionRender>false</IsCollisionRender>. Changing it to true will enable the feature.
As an example the archive Town_Mykonos.ar.00 is the scene for the Town Apotos. This archive has a linked file called #Town_Mykonos which contains a Stage.stg.xml file.
As of enabling it, the game will use a texture and have it be shown on the collision in the map, this would have been used to check in-game for any problems with the collision.
If you have epilepsy, it is not recommended that you use this as the textures do flash when moving around or rotating the camera.
Miscellaneous
Unused Trial Types
The game has 2 unused trials for Sonic and 3 trials for the Werehog. You can activate them if you get 100% Save-Data through the debug tools. Almost every trial is playable and can be finished, Except: Apotos and Eggmanland, Apotos's Score Trial just won't load, and the Eggmanland have just a placeholder trials. For example Eggmanland "Battle Trial" required to defeat 1 enemy and complete the stage, which is obviously just a placeholder.

Platform Differences
- The frame rate is capped to 30 FPS on the Xbox 360, while the PlayStation 3 version runs uncapped, with certain instances of it hitting 60 FPS. Regardless, both versions struggle to maintain a consistent framerate in the same areas. However, the PS3 version is able to maintain a high framerate for the Tornado Defense levels, and some areas of the daytime stages (particularly the Holoska stages).
- Lighting in the Xbox 360 version is slightly more washed out; this is due to it having different gamma settings compared to the PlayStation 3 version, likely to compensate for the Xbox 360 having a darker video output.
Revisional Differences
On 12 March 2009, an update was released for both versions; while it mainly added supported for the Chun-nan Adventure Pack DLC, it also made a graphical alteration to the patterns that appear in Holoska. The original texture used a depiction of a Hindu swastika, while the edited texture replaced it with a new graphic; this was likely done to prevent the game from potentially getting re-rated or banned once internet users discovered the symbol from (ironically) the German Sega website.
