new-next-gen-sonic-unleashed-shamar-stage-trailer-plus-spagonia-and-apatos-for-the-wii

Sega has just sent us over two new trailers for their upcoming Sonic Unleashed title. The next-gen trailer showcases Sonic making his way through both day and night versions of Shamar, a sand filled backdrop, complete with ancient buildings and an Arabian beat.

Those concerned that the music may cause Sonic to suffer the same fate as Sackboy can rest easy. This Middle Eastern number is purely instrumental. No lyrics FTW!

In addition to the next-gen stage, the second trailer highlights two levels for the Wii titled Spagonia (openly influenced by European architecture) and Apatos (one feta cheese crumb away from being Greece).

Grab your tabbouleh and hit the jump for a look at all three stages.

Bookmark junkies can also add sonic-unleashed.com to their list, as Sega launched the official website today. The site comes with instructions on how to navigate it, and like most guys, I didn’t bother to read them. After a few seconds of fiddling with the giant globe in the center of the screen, I gave up and clicked on the Quick Nav link in the upper left hand corner.

    This looks to have the same hectic feel of the original game. after all the garbage scenarios that the franchise had to suffer it is nice to see it going back to what made Sonic fun in the first place. (lets hope for the best) :P

    I agree mad. This game had me excited pre E3 and it looks to be on the right track based on what I saw at E3 as well.

    Some people may not like the change of pace the night time gameplay offers but I am personally open to it and think it looks pretty cool.

    C-

    Yeah, I have no problem with the night time gameplay either, there is nothing wrong with mixing some new with the classic style we all played and loved 17+ years ago. I remember my brother buying the genesis and the first game we got for it was Sonic. looking forward to finally playing something that could really be considered a true quality sequel.
