The werehog levels have more brawling and action-oriented gameplay. In this form, Sonic has different abilities such as increased strength and the ability to stretch his arms to attack enemies. These stages introduce a new gameplay mechanic in which Sonic can transform into a werehog form at night. In the 3D stages, you’ll control Sonic in a more open-ended environment, where you can explore, collect items, and complete objectives. These levels are designed to emphasize speed and platforming which suits the kind of character Sonic the Hedgehog is.
In the 2D levels, you’ll control Sonic as he runs and jumps through various environments, collecting rings and defeating all kinds of enemies and bosses. Sonic Unleashed features both traditional 2D side-scrolling levels and 3D action-adventure stages in the entirety of the game.
