Sonic the Hedgehog has grown a little tired. Actually, that may be putting it nicely. After his last PS3/Xbox 360 outing, Sonic has grown infirm. That doesn’t mean Sega will stop trying to bring him back.

Sonic Unleashed is their newest offering, which is still somewhat clouded in mystery. What is known is that the new title will apparently be a 2.5D outing that appears to be running on the PS3/Xbox 360. The game will also focus on series mainstays Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles instead of all the side characters.

So, that all is the good news. The bad news? It’s another Sonic game. The series has never quite regained its past glories ever since Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast. Even Sonic Adventure 2 was a bit of a stutter step in comparison with the original. Here’s hoping that Sega can finally turn the hedgehog’s fortunes around, but one would be wise not to wager any money.
