As of today, this is the state that Sonic Unleashed is at in the PC Xbox 360 emulator, Xenia. It performs better than RPCS3 by being more GPU intensive rather than CPU intensive, but in counterpart, offers some bugs that RPCS3 doesn't have.
Some stutters you may see in the video are due to me not playing the stages before recording. The bad Werehog gameplay is a symptom of not playing that side of the game for half a year :P

Here, Sonic's day stages are filled with vertex explosions, making it harder (sometimes impossible) to see where you're going. Other times you might face random rendering bugs, such as pink geometry and whatnot. The game might also randomly crash when you stomp or boost.

One thing that's better than RPCS3, other than performance, is how well the Werehog levels play out. Most of this video is a Werehog stage because of that.

I'm also playing with VSync disabled in order to unlock the game's framerate. I decided, however, to keep the resolution the native one, as a measure of keeping the performance stable, but it's definitely possible to make the game render at 2x native res.

All in all, still not quite there yet, but hopefully in the near future, we'll have a fully playable PC version of Sonic Unleashed... somewhat...
