Sonic Unleashed 2

Sonic Unleashed 2 is a sequel to the 2008 game, unlike the previous entry, this game features multiple Werehogs. The game has the subtitle: Altered Beast in Japan and Europe referring to the series of he same name made by Sega, as it draws allusions from that series

Synopsis
The Dark Reaper awakens thousands of years after his defeat at the hands of the Olympus, this was due to Eggman's actions, as sonic decides to confront him, however when facing Eggman, Sonic is approached with a new breed of badniks: organic badniks that are mutated from animals with the power of Dark Reaper. Sonic is put in the same capsule he was when Eggman transformed him to the werehog in the fist game, however sonic breaks the container and heads for Eggman, who breaks the glass and makes Sonic fall down to the surface from Eggman's Egg Carrier.

As Sonic falls to Apatos, the sun rises, and his werehog powers vanish, he is then greeted by Tails who he explains that he regained his werehog powers. Tails explains to Sonic about the true nature of the werehog: a Guardian Beast, a power that only certain individuals can hold to defend the world from evil.

Gameplay
