Part 4 of my first playthrough series of Sonic Unleashed on Xbox 360. This video contains where Part 3 ended up until Don Fachio’s Shamar, Time Trial Lv. 1 is beaten. The light blue chaos emerald is revitalized earlier in this video as opposed to the first three parts of my playthrough, where the chaos emerald in each video was restored at the end. No audio commentary. Full and uncut to give a feeling of a live experience. The videos in this series are like a longplay, but not in one single video. The series is done in separate parts because a single video would be too long/large for me, and YouTube limits the features of videos after a certain length.

As a reference, I recorded this video at 1080p 30fps at the highest quality setting my Elgato Game Capture HD hardware could supply. The Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed functions natively at 30 frames per second, which is why I didn’t choose to record in 60 frames per second. The first three videos of this longplay were recorded at 60 frames per second, which was wrong.

Thanks to my friend Groudon199 for letting me borrow his Xbox 360 and some games; because of that, I was able to play the HD version of Sonic Unleashed. While this is my first time playing this version of Sonic Unleashed, I have played and beaten Sonic Unleashed on the Nintendo Wii before. My focus here was to play through the entire game and beat it while exploring as much of the game as possible. I take my time and try to collect all of the game’s collectibles, see how the game functions, complete all stages/missions, get S Ranks, etc. I’ve written the timestamps for important parts of the video down (start of stages/missions/etc.) which you can use as a viewing guide, although you will miss a lot of interesting content by solely using the timestamps to navigate through the video. The timestamps start at the final successful completion attempt of each objective in question.

My thoughts about Sonic Unleashed through Part 4: I haven’t played Sonic Unleashed in a bit over two months, so I had to get back into the groove of the gameplay here. I’m slowly getting better at playing this game, but I’m still not used to using this many buttons on a controller for playing a Sonic game. I still haven’t mastered the layout of the Xbox 360 controller. I’m not performing well at the many instances of quick-time events in this game because of that. I can see that playing the Day stages for the first time and trying to play slowly to explore each one don’t work well together. I’m also still finding the Night stage controls a bit unresponsive, but the levels in this part of the game were more fun than some levels I had already played.

For your viewing convenience, here are the timestamps for the start of each objective:

Start of Part 4: 0:00
Cool Edge Act 1 (Night) (2nd attempt): 33:37
Dark Moray: 01:05:54
