If someone hasn't played Unleashed, but isn't particularly interested in trying the full experience, but they hear the main levels are fun, by all means I'd point them towards the Unleashed Project.

Just to re-iterate, this is purely in the context of 'I've never played Sonic Unleashed and I want to see what it's like'. That's the point where I would recommend the Unleashed Project to someone who initially wanted to play Sonic Unleashed. That experience isn't for everyone, and I'd heartily recommend someone play the Unleashed Project AFTER they've tried the official game if they come to the conclusion for themselves that they like the daytime gameplay to some degree but nothing else and cannot bear any more of the game's other content but would like to try out the remainder of the stages. Most Unleashed fans, even those who simply put up with the Werehog, would agree that it's a game that provides a certain experience that is greater than the sum of it's parts. The Unleashed Project is a marvel, but it's also just a novelty and not in any way a reasonable alternative to playing the official game if the official game is what you want to play. Every other game on this list, you could take your advice on the version to play - even unofficial ones, and be able to say 'Yeah, I've played '. This is the only one here I'd take issue with really. Yet, the best experience near to a better version of Sonic Unleashed would be Unleashed Project for Generations, as almost no one still cares for Werehog night levels. I tested the PS2 emulator on PC and it works pretty fine, while I doubt there's any good emulator for PS3/Xbox 360. Sonic Unleashed is available for 2 consoles generations. Update 5.1: It seems Heroes' widescreen patch has fixed the HUD issue. Most of the long list of instructions on the PCGW are prerequisites for fixing little bugs and visual glitches, but if you don't want to bother with that and just want the game running on PC at high resolution the PC version is still the best way to play it. I play it with a Dual Shock 3 masquerading as a 360 controller and it doesn't give me any issues. The HUD is still set for 4:3 and the menus look a bit weird because they load like they are a raw Flash file being viewed on a webpage, but other than that the game runs pretty flawlessly to at least 4k: Both of them can just be dragged and dropped into specific folders in the Sonic Heroes directory and you're golden. If you want it to run on modern computers and modern resolutions, all you really need is the ThirteenAG patch and the Xbox FMV files (if you care about having the highest quality of the FMVs).

The instructions for Heroes that are on PCGW are a bit daunting and unnecessary if you want to just play the game.
