Sonic Unleashed [Essentials]
PlayStation 3
About this game
In this version of Sonic Unleashed Eggman manages to defeat Sonic, using the tremendous power of the Chaos Emeralds to entrap him.
The sheer force of the attack had also broken down the planet into pieces, and released the mysterious dark creature called Dark Gaia from within the depths.

Eggman then leaves Sonic trapped along on the broken planet, along with the now-drained Chaos Emeralds.
It is now up to Sonic to retrieve and recharge the drained Chaos Emeralds, save the planet, recapture Dark Gaia, and defeat Eggman for good.
The game features both daytime levels, which focuses on Sonic's overdrive speed, and nighttime levels, which are more combat-focused, as Sonic transforms into a fearsome-looking yet powerful Werehog beast, as a side-effect of the Chaos Emerald attack he had suffered from.
The PS2 and Wii versions feature an almost completely new mix of levels as well as a different game engine.
About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks Sonic Unleashed [Essentials] for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Sonic Unleashed [Essentials] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically.
