Sonic Unleashed is finally done...
woohoo
What do you think of the game? Ost is AMAZING!
8.7/10 for me, had a good time!
Choc that means youre legally obligated to play the DLC too now
@@sunday1484oh God,not that...
It time to play sonic adventure
You know how crazy this level is when this single level has the same video length as the other 3 videos
That how hard eggman land is man
I've spent more time then I'd like to admit beating Eggman land, i was 2 when this game came out and a two year could not beat it for the life of him
@@deeops wait, you as a 2 year old was capable of getting past Mazuri!? Are you asian or something? When i was 2 i couldn't even speak.
I had heard stories of this level on my first playthrough and dreaded they day id attempt surprisingly beat it with only one death. (Definitely a challenging level I think I just got lucky)
I have PTSD from this level. This level was fuckin awful
You know, despite having never played Unleashed, I find it extremely criminal that Chip's necklace as a bracelet didn't become a permanent part of Sonic's design after this game. I feel like it would have been a very small but powerful change that would remind players that Sonic's past adventures really do stick with him and that the people in his life are important to him.
It depends on the next DLC I guess. The newset DLC has Sonic mentions Jet and the Babylon Rouges iirc
Yeaaaah, but that's not true of course. As evidenced by that NOT being what happens. Besides, if he kept all of his accessories from previous games, he'd have horrendous design bloat by now. If we ever get full customization for a game I could see it (Some fan games do this) but for his core design I don't think they'll ever do that. Status Quo is too important for them.
@@supersmily5811 I mean sure, but I wasn't saying he should have every accessory he's collected. Most things he's collected were power-ups, not mementos of ppl from his past, and have become obsolete since he can use many of those moves without them now. As far as I can recall, this is the only game where Sonic has received something wearable as a memento from someone in any of the canon.
They gotta remaster this game. Black knight and secret rings, too. They did it for colors.. why not the other games from this time period?
wait dlc of what :0@@nonamepasserbya6658
I swear the lead designer for Eggmanland was brought back for the new Sonic Frontiers update
But with less fair design lmaoo
Crimson carnival was actually beatable though, and not annoying
@@SMD965OFFICIAL What difficulty were you on, were you trying to rush straight to the new ending and exactly what are you referring to by "actually beatable though, and not annoying".
Because if the answer is not hard/extreme, yes and Master King Trial/targeting the Cable, then I have questions.
and titanic monarch which is kind of the point
@@Sone01TheFirstlegit. The only challenging part was MK Koco trial and figuring out how to hurt the Supreme End
My favorite part was when he said "how much longer is this?" and he was like 1/4 through the stage.
I kept getting slapped into the lava by those floating monsters. It took me three days to master the level
Eggmanland was easily the most difficult level in the entire franchise for me. But I had a blast playing through it and reliving it through your playthrough!
Yes and enjoyable level for me personally
Play Wyvern with the Extreme 4 Frame parry window and this will change immediately
@@AbdodThe trial is less of a level and more of a challenge. Also yeah, that thing is the hardest challenge in the franchise.
@@Abdod We are talking about level not boss fight.
I honestly really enjoy Eggmanland. It's fairly well designed, all things considered, is a tough but generally fair challenge. It'd be even better with a better camera and drop shadow at certain points. And playing through it multiple times and improving, getting faster times etc is extremely rewarding.
I'm just saying, a Sonic Frontiers-styled boss given the scope and budget of the Dark Gaia fight would be peak gaming.
After Frontiers Sonic team got bigger and Sega did said they will increase the budget of future Sonic games
that final update 3 boss is close enough, def hoping for a big step foward for the next game
Infinite might return to the series because he part of the mainstream characters
@@lostfire4556i'd rather have them keep Sage than Infinite
@@Glnn_n they will because she is also part of the mainstream characters
The night level was easy for me
But the day level?
Holy crap was that an absolute nightmare
the night level platforming was hard cs i was on a broken ps3 controller😭
Same but it was my Xbox controller
I was on Xbox 😭
I had it on wii
There i didnt have to Deal with sections
But with 1 night and day level each
While the night level was pretty chill
The day level was a nightmare
@@no_fvture2779I had the same problem but with Empire city night level. Impossible to walk straight.
I love this level so much but I cannot pretend that this is not just Sonic Team overcompensating for people calling their games easy
That seems familiar... (Sideways glance at Sonic Frontiers)
And then they did it again 15 years later in Frontiers' story update
Yep. And I love them for doing it again. Sega does what Nintendon’t indeed.
@@garyconstanza3120I got to the 3rd island and stopped what update?
@@Archer170 the Final Horizon update totally changes the end of the game, adds new playable characters, and is really, REALLY hard. Like not just hard for Sonic, this is legitimately like 3D Super Meat Boy. Okay, maybe not that much, but it’s a definite spike intended for those who wanted more of a challenge. Also you should definitely come back to the game, so much has improved, like turning the momentum killing jump into a toggle, adding the Spin Dash, a bunch of new platforming challenges, a new difficulty setting, and more. If you didn’t like Chaos Island because of all the 2D, set your Boost to carry into your jump and unlock the Spin Dash (by doing the Action Chain Challenges) ASAP.
Wow, even to this day… the final boss is so good, especially when it gets to the super sonic part, visually, the music, just beautiful and those cinematic cutscenes… love it so much. Hope with the big success of sonic frontiers the next game will be a much higher budget so we can have big cinematic cutscenes like this game. 💫
Oh hell, I really wish. I miss those good movie-quality cutscenes
I think dark Gaia has officially been beaten as terms of best final boss by the new version of the end, but I still love dark Gaia for how cinematic it was
@@_SSCJ I think both are equal but in different ways.
@@binj6227 exactly
No it isn't LMAO
Took me 2 years to finish this level without dying and making a rank S.
I love your shock when you got a B rank. Sonic Team absolutely knew how hard this level is. 38 minutes!
He got a game over twice so he played even longer than that
He played eggmanland for nearly 2 hours.
Could have speed run sonic forcess in that time
I was surprised when I got a B Rank in this stage, too, and I was close to 45 minutes. 😅
I honesty love eggmanland like it’s balls difficult but it’s also really cool!
9:43 You don't have to get up straight away from the knock down. If you stay down, any AOE attack the the Titian's wave won't hurt you. By jumping out of it, you essentially took away your invincibility frames.
really? That looked like an "It's not use!" situation.
That's... Poorly communicated
Though the battle against Dark Gaia is more cinematic here, in the PS2/Wii version is more dinamic, the fight is separated in three parts, first a round of punch out with the Gaia Colossus against Dark Gaia, where you can punch freely, counter attacks and dodge attacks, then is Sonic running through the Colossus to hit all three eyes, then to finish with Super Sonic alone against Perfect Dark Gaia, no shield, Super Sonic going for the eyes straight ahead while dodging Dark Gaia's attacks and giant rocks in his way. Best of all, no button mashing.
This exactly
Funny that you joked that the food sucks here because you can actually buy food from every region in the game including here and feed it to Chip to get his thoughts on it and he hates ALL the food at eggmanland
How am I only just NOW finding out you could do that???
The werehog scream getting cut off always makes me chuckle.
No joke Eggmanland is my favorite level in all of Sonic. For a first time player it's a nightmare, but the replay value here is insane. So much fun stuff to master, and this is probably the most satisfying S-Rank to get of all time.
no like actually though ive grown to love it more for it's replayability value and like. the payoff is worth how hard it is. it's still frustrating when you have to play it ten million times like i did when i was younger but like. man.
I like how in one cut from the dark gaia fight, he has 10 lives. In the next cut he only has 2.
22:19 I've never seen anyone fail that! That's hilarious!
People have failed, but not on purpose. Xbox controllers are a little finicky when it comes to this part.
It took me over an hour to beat Eggmanland first time through. It definately lives up to being a final level. Thank goodness it drops extra lives like candy. When I learned you can just run past most of the enemies, I can now do it in about 15 minutes. Egg Dragoon was child's play compared to it, though Dark Gaia gave me some more trouble. It's definatly up there with Perfect Chaos and Finalhazard in terms of peak Sonic final bosses.
All that being said, now that Unleashed is done, there's something else that needs you attention, Choc. The End is approaching. *The Final Horizon has come.*
Also, I heard Final Horizon is just as hard, if not harder, than Eggmanland. Good Luck!
For the most part it varies from person to person based on their experience, the way they go through Final Horizon and finally what settings they have for how characters control(initial Speed, acceleration, momentum etc). For example if the player ignored update 2's additional platforming sections and rushes toward the ending then they will have zero practice and be caught completely unprepared compared to if they did go through at least some of Update 2's content and took their time with Final Horizon then they just be challenged by the platforming. I imagine Choc is the former of these two.
*Also the Master King trial is fucking bullshit, Wyvern does not gel with actual timed parries let alone frame perfect parry timing.*
7:13 had me cackling like Eggman. Good playthrough can't wait to see what's next.
I’m glad you enjoyed Eggmanland. It’s brutal, but it’s delivering on a plan Eggman has had since Adventure 1. You finally get to see his demented city/theme park brought to life, and it’s every bit as dangerous to Sonic as you’d expect. If it had just been all style, it would’ve been cool in the moment, but the difficulty makes sure you never forget it.
Just a heads up
Once you get knocked down by the Titan shockwave as the Werehog, you can actually just wait on the ground and stay invincible until you decide to press A to get up again.
Your username checks out for advice like this.
As bullshit as the difficulty got for the finale of this game, I still love the scope of it all. From Eggmanland finally paying off from SA1 to Dark Gaia's true awakening, to what's in my opinion the coolest Super Sonic transformation sequence in the franchise, you can really feel hiw high the stakes are in herr, and I don't think any Sonic game to this day has come close to this feeling.
I think is fair, Just dificult to beat. But VERY rewarding for master.
@@binj6227Yeah cause I have the S rank and it’s all about not dying at certain spots that would put you at risk for that S
Sonic 06 is on par with this if not having higher stakes but I would say this is second
I played this game last summer and I had SO MANY complaints about the depth perception, *especially* on this level😭😭 There needed to be a shadow (no pun indented) under sonic so you could see where you were landing
The hot dog missions for this level are not for the weak
I like how choc completely forgets colors exist
Just like how Sega forget their were other characters playable besides Sonic for 17 years.
@@amari648 Sonic Boom.
@@pinhe4d321doesn’t exist to me and it’s not canon 😂
@@amari648 It was decent to me ngl
@@pinhe4d321 well at least you liked it. I’m glad they made Amy, Knuckles and Taiks playable again in Frontiers.
Even though Eggmanland is comically difficult, it’s still one of my favorite stages in the franchise. People always complain about villains acting stupid and giving the MC chances to live. Eggman did that at the beginning, paid the price for it, so as a result he made the ultimate death trap for Sonic. It’s great.
Finally, Eggman's dream has come true! (For a few minutes)
What What I love about this level is that it feels like Eggman going all out harder than he's ever done. Even moreso than the Death Egg.
11:11 Probably my favorite cutscene in the franchise right here
The hotdogs challenges were a nightmare in this level, felt great to complete them.
I wonder if he'll play the DLC levels. Both the day and night stages are really fun, and I've really enjoyed S ranking them, so I wonder how he'll feel about them.
This level is so awesome but is so INSANELY hard. As some who got all S Ranks on this game I can confirm Eggmanland was INSANITY.
I remember My brother and Me had took turns whenever one of us died in Eggman land but sometimes he played as Sonic and I played as The Werehog. It was a really fun bonding experience between us even through all the numerous frustrations 😂
Wait, I just realized, did you ever turn back to normal after literally becoming Sonic at the beginning of this series? We never saw the conclusion to that, so now I'm curious.
r/ihadastrokereadingthat
The question now is, what game do we bully Choc into playing next?
Exactly what I came to the comments for. I mean I know he's had to play them, but Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, I personally just want the supercut library to be complete
Frontiers
@@andrewwolfe5479 I think he did already play Frontiers base game, but you're right we need the final DLC asap
11:14 Getting to this part as a kid felt so surreal! Sheesh what I would give to relive playing this part for the very first time again🔥
Congratulations on your B rank on Eggmanland. That bumped your grades high enough to graduate~
Weirdly, the Wii/PS2 version of the final boss is way better. You get to play Punch-out as the Gaia Temple then actually fight Dark Gaia directly.
This is wild, because... the thing is, I played on the Wii version. I haven't played in ages, but the Dark Gaia boss fight? COMPLETELY different. I'd wager the final level was also really different, though I can't remember it. But... seeing the final fight be so different is CRAZY.
9:24
"It's no use! Take this!"
LMFAOOOOOO STOPPPPPP
@@snekgewehr "It's no use! This will end it!"
What a wild ride it has been! Fantastic job Choc, Sonic Unleashed is a cinematic masterpiece especially that final boss that was well worth the wait 🙌.
I'd love to see you tackle the Adventure series on the channel after Superstars
I love these unleashed videos they are probably the funniest also by the end of the series are you gonna make another one of those videos where you are sonic but you transform back into yknow reg choc
Ahhh so happy you beat this game one of my favorite childhood games. Can’t wait to see what you play next thanks for the content
I remember this stage far too well. Engraved into my mind.
I can watch the ending of this game a million times and it still hits right in the feels from nostalgia itself. God I love Sonic unleashed. It's not perfect, but my god it's such a fun and unique game
I SEE IT, I SEE IT NOW
Endless Possibilities is the one video game song that will make me cry from the amount of STRAIGHT GAS pumping in that beat
As much as eggmanland is a pain I can’t lie the egg dragoon theme slaps everytime.
Choc, thank you, this is easily my favourite sonic game in the same way that you're one of my favourite youtubers. Seeing you finally play this game with your endearing commentary helps ease out a few of lifes stresses, gives me a little moment of relaxation and comfort. Thank you so much for what you do, and for playing this gem.
My favorite Sonic Game. Best level design. Best OST. Best story. No game has more charm. I felt every bit of passion. Thanks, Sonic Team.
about the big Gaia guys: I've heard that when you're knocked back and they do their radial shockwave attack, it's actually better to *not* immediately try to get back. Because when you're in the knocked-out state, the radial shockwave moves over Sonic without damaging him.
Or so i've heard, somewhere.
i sadly havent played the game yet but its looks like its gonna be one of my favorites! Also Chip is criminally underrated
It's a good game for sure
Although it has it's flaws Unleashed is my favorite in the franchise. Best music, best story and best voice acting, and best looking game in the franchise. The Day time stages are a blast and feel rewarding to S-rank. The night stages aren't that bad and the first few are honestly a guilty pleasure.
It was fun to watch this LP? (what ever you wanna call it)
My favorite Sonic game for a reason. Everything(besides frame drops) was fantastic imo. Thanks for the awesome playthrough!
watching a play through of this game again gave so much nostalgia, sonic unleashed is truly one of if not my personal favourite sonic games
also slight spoilers for final horizon but
another reason why unleashed reminds me of final horizon finale is that not only does an orchestra of the main theme play and the general vibe but at 20:02 it grows arms like how the supreme mech grows hands like dark gia
Your SpongeBob references are always so specific and perfectly used, mad respect fellow spongehead
I really appreciate you letting the credits play out for a minute, i struggled so much to beat dark gaia as a kid and this has gotta be my favorite sonic game
This to this day is my absolute favorite game that I have played I love the voice cast and the story and my goodness the gameplay is chef’s kiss 🤌🏽
Unlike most unleashed levels, which have certain gimmicks and sonics boost which can help you if you make too many mistakes, if you screw up too many times in eggmanland the game will actually punish you for it, which I love! Adds on a bit of difficulty the game was missing!
This has been a ride, for sure. Awesome lets play. :)
Man, I'm so glad you finally finished this game. To me it's one of the best modern Sonic games in terms of tone, story, characters, and gameplay. Also, the budget and production work for this game was huge back in the day. I really hope future Sonic games go back to having this type of quality again.
having not seen the ending of unleashed in a long while, i genuinely held back tears until endless possibility started playing
the story this game had was so good man
You know you can press the block button inbetween attacks as the werehog, so you can cancel into other combos with ease
Also im awarae ur doing mario wonder on sidequest but for the normal playthrough will u be doing online sorry for these questions choc just curious love the videos keep up the good work and if u need take a break
I don't think there was ever a level in any game that gave me as much frustration as Eggmanland. I remember stocking over at least 30 lives for it, using a good chunk of them, and screaming something like "FINALLY! UP YOURS!" when I finally cleared it.
This is just my favorite Sonic Game of all time. For me, this can't be topped, as it was part of my childhood and growing even.
Thank you so much for playing it. 💙✨
Eggmanland day was easily the hardest stage in the franchise to me, but it was a lot of fun completing it 100% back in the day. It brings me lots of good memories
Still idk which verison is more bs the HD verison of eggmanland or the wii/ps2 verison(especially since these ones you have to play through twice back to back and as a time trial for the second)
@@cheetahofthewind13 the ps2 version of the game is harder overall to me. The final boss too since it was kinda rough to play
You know this level gonna be crazy when you got a statue of Eggman doing the sieg heil right before you enter.
this was amazing. The game and the commentary. PERFECT.
For people who are currently in the middle of a playthrough of this game, some advice I have for you before going into this level is to stockpile as many extra lives as you possibly can. This is one of the main reasons I was able to get through Eggmanland because otherwise I probably would've given up. Before you start the level just go to other mission areas like Apotos (which I find the easiest) and collect all of the hidden extra lives in the main level area (the place where the level portals are located), then exit the area when you're done and go back in to collect them again. Repeat this for as long as necessary in order to get as many extra lives as you can. That way when you eventually attempt Eggmanland you don't have to worry about losing all of your lives and starting the whole thing over again. I had to restart the level twice before I thought about this and i was on the verge of giving up. Honestly if I hadn't thought to stockpile lives I probably would've given up on the level entirely and left the game unfinished for another 5 years lmao.
I always go into Eggmanland after dedicating time to grinding resources. So much so that I know the best stage for grinding EXP is Windmill Isle Night Act 1, and the best stages for grinding Rings and Lives are Windmill Isle Day Act 2 and Rooftop Run Day Act 1. You can also indirectly grind EXP by grinding Rings and spending them on food to feed Sonic. The extra hot dog missions also help a lot since they're the best source of EXP for Sonic during the main game. Since I typically focus on levelling up Daytime Sonic, this would be when I grind the Werehog so I'm as prepared as I can be. It's a level where you just expect to die, but at least this way you've got the most wiggle room and plenty of lives.
Can't wait for Choc to get back and do the Frontiers update 3.
Choc is gonna have a FUN time with sonic frontiers'final horizon update...
If you know, you know...
All the cutscenes in this game still hold up super well, makes since as this suppose to be THE final sonic game originally
I bought this game twice, the Wii version and the PS3 version and to this day Unleashed still remains as one of my top favorites. Nothing beats the rush of adrenaline with the Dark Gaia boss battle
I also revisited Sonic Unleashed recently and apparently the younger version of me completed all the chilli-dog vendor missions in Eggmanland (bonus objectives that require you to not die once and get to the end of the level). Yeah, I still don't get how I did that. My younger self must have been an Unleashed fanatic lol
Let's see a Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 Duology from ya Choc! It'll be great to see you relive some of your childhood games like those!
That outro was so perfect bahaha! Awesome job dude
Congrats! I've never played Sonic Unleashed but it looks pretty good. Those cutscenes were amazing! Sega usually does a great job with presentation.
Though, why is it that the two most iconic videogame villains of the 8 and 16 bit era both use amusement parks as their final challenge to defeat their arch-nemesis?
Got a Sonic Superstars AD before this.
Make that what you will.
Blood sweat and tears were made on this level
24:20 Canonically Black Knight is actually in between this and Generations. In this game, there's some optional dialogue where you promise Amy a date and they follow up on that in Black Knight!
I’m not a die-hard Sonic fan, but I’ve played this game during my childhood. It’s such a great game honestly. I should definitely replay it one day.
For the longest time I never realized that Chaos city from sonic prime looked like eggmanland
Eggman land! Haven’t played this game since the late 2000s on wii. Should probs replay it on PS3 and relive the glory…
The PS3 version is so laggy compared to 360
Glad to see you finally take on Sonic Unleashed! As for whag game do I want you to play next?
Well sonic wise you should do Black Knight, my childhood favorite.
In general, i thunk itll be fun to see you tackle one of the Rayman games, like 2 or 3.
I cry a little watching someone playing one of my favorite sonic games from my childhood and the ending gets me every time like in so happy
This is what Eggman has wanted to do from the beginning, huh? Make a theme park…?
Hey, if it worked for The Nut Job 2.
This looks more doable than the ps2/wii version
0:24 im just realizing. the voice lines don't go with there mouths (im looking at you, chip)
I saw the title. For an instant, I did not really process it. Then, I was ripped back in time. Eggmanland.
This place. THIS PLACE.
I'd visit eggman land.
I always love reading people's horror stories of them experiencing this stage...
side note: this stage can be done in under 15 minutes
11:58 you gotta give Eggman credit in Forces he did say, “since you always destroyed the weak spots to my machines, I decided to learn from my mistakes”
"How can you describe a level with no words?"
*_*Werehog scream.mp3*_*
"Ah, I see now."
Ngl the Wii/PS2 version did eggmanland and the dark Gaia boss better
Congrats! Good video!
I loved Eggman land! I understand how many would hate how the level was too difficult, but I love it when the game makes the difficulty spike greatly in the end.
I remember playing this with my older brother when I was like 10, he would hate the night stages while I personally loved them. We beat the game together by juggling the controller to each other depending on what stage it was at the time.
You wouldn't believe our shocked reaction when the last level was BOTH stages at once! We both we're throwing the PS2 controller back to each other so much! We'd Game Over a lot and then I would grind us back to 99 lives when we did. (I didn't mind losing, I'd get to grind on the day stages)
It took us like a month to beat the last part of the game, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
Sonic Unleashed was personally an S tier sonic game for me, and I hope more people can love it for what it was back then, and not compare it to games now.
I remember when I tried to finish this before Sonic’s birthday (June 23) this took me the stage WHOLE DAY, like seriously I was turning into a freaking werehog by the end of it
