Sonic Unleashed (known in Japan as 'Sonic World Adventure') follows Sonic as he attempts to restore the world after his nemesis Doctor Eggman shatters it with a powerful laser to unleash Dark Gaia, an ancient evil, while dealing with having become a "Werehog", a werewolf-esque transformation, which he gains after coming into contact with the energy of Dark Gaia. Gameplay features two distinct styles, with each being played either during daytime or nighttime. Daytime stages incorporate Sonic's traditional platforming and trademark speed, with a combination of behind-the-back third-person viewpoints and 2D side-scroller platforming; gameplay seamlessly transitions between these two views. Night-time levels see Sonic transform into the Werehog; gameplay slows down to accommodate greater platform play, and involves combat against waves of enemies using the Werehog's brute strength.

Public anticipation for Sonic Unleashed was high, as video game journalists saw it as a possible return to Sonic's platforming roots. While it was commercially successful—selling 2.45 million units—critical reception was mixed. Reviewers praised certain elements, such as the sense of speed in daylight stages and the graphics and audio that make up the environments, but criticized others, such as the Werehog game mechanic, as well as several gameplay and design concepts. Many felt Unleashed was not the game to reinvigorate the series.

Configuration

Options that deviate from RPCS3's default settings and provide the best experience with this title are listed below.

CPU configuration

Setting Option Notes
SPU block size Mega Slight performance increase.
TSX instructions Disabled Having this enabled causes the game to randomly freeze.

GPU configuration

Setting Option Notes
Framelimit Off Uncaps the framerate, allowing the game to run at framerates above 60 FPS, if your hardware can support it. Introduces issues with ice physics above 60fps, however.
ZCULL accuracy Relaxed Improves performance slightly without affecting stability or causing graphical issues.
Asynchronous texture streaming On Improves performance

Advanced configuration

Setting Option Notes
Accurate GETLLAR On Freezes random freezes.
Maximum SPURS threads 4 Can slightly improve performance on some CPUs, test if it helps you
RSX FIFO accuracy Atomic Helps with stability, eliminates RSX violation crashes.

Known Issues

Even with optimal settings and very powerful hardware, this game is known to have a pretty inconsistent framerate, especially in stages such as Rooftop Run Night and Jungle Joyride Day.

Special Notes

The 'Disable Dynamic Shadows' patch can give a significant performance boost at the cost of removing shadows, which may make platforming a bit harder.
