Sonic Unleashed (Wii/PS2) - Dark Gaia (S-Rank) [1080p HD]
Includes the cutscenes, hence why the video is long. Haven't played this game in years (let alone this boss), so took me a while to get a decent run. Also I used to play on PS2, not Wii, so the controls took a bit of getting used to.
Figured I'd upload this because I couldn't find a HD version of a video showing this boss on its own.
Enjoy!

There’s something so cinematic of Sonic slowly falling towards Dark Gaia while reaching out with his arms as if he fell off of something, waiting for the player to press the correct code of buttons, then fly into the eye of his enemy. It’s just poetic.

You mean when sonic boosts to Dark Gaias 3 eyes? Yeah, it really does look epic and maybe even better than the xBox version

Is this when you "loose during the perfect dark gia phase, or during the quick time event at the end of the normal sonic part
Man, back when I played on PS2 I could barely beat him half the time, and here you are S-Ranking him :')

The most epic moment of my childhood was finally defeating him on my PS2. Good god, he was hard. It took multiple attempts to beat him. Hell, even my non-Sonic fan brother was there to support me. Once I hit that last eye, I was sooo damn happy!

Honestly I'm surprised how close the level design for the first phase is to the PS3/X360 version. Sure there's some stuff removed and some object layouts rearranged, but even still it's practically 1:1. Essentially the closest this version gets to the HD level design.

If there’s ever a remake of this game elements of the Ps2/Wii version must be incorporated for the best experience like the Gia Gates and this boss
I honestly love that so few characters could hurt super sonic, and i love the concept that sonic is boosting his power a huge amount by using up his rings cutting his time short along with few resources to replenish it on top of this guy being able to actively hurt you and take more of said resources. It really makes dark gaia feel so powerful because for most of the fight it feels like sonic is on the back foot even as super and struggling to deal damage to the point a rock could throw him off and might make him lose.
At least there isn’t a time limit for the Gaia Colossus parts... :’)

I still love the PS2 lag in some games, idk why but the lag REALLY made you feel how absolutely hardcore the things that were happening on screen were. In Shadow of The Colossus you feel like they are so huge that your machine is struggling to render the size of the colossi, in Sonic Unleashed the lag just accentuates how fast Sonic really is moving, it just hits different than when it's on smooth fps.

Perfect Dark Gaia looks like a toy in the 360 version
im just glad about the fact they technically made the parry system for super sonic already. and the fact its super sonic vs perfect dark gia instead of super sonic and light gia vs dark gia is wild like sonic actually giving chip a break because he knows he can handle it himself.
Just give us: 1. Gaia Colossus approach 2. Punch Out Gaia 3. All the running segments 4. Super Sonic Vs Barrier 5. Super Sonic Vs Dark Gaia Long as hell final boss but it would be a lot better than the 360/ps3 version
I hope that someday (if we don't get a PC port of unleashed) someone makes something kinda like P-06 but for unleashed, polish some things and grab what's best about the Wii and the other versions (personally I like the first phase of the boss more on Wii)

From "UnWiished" I'll grab the timeattack rank system and the fact that the game gives you the nescesary medals to progress the game, specially with the B-S Rank medals from each act And as a plus for some people that there was a lot of complaining about it, to split the Werehog levels so "it wouldn't be too long" (wich I think its not a good idea...I suffered with the split levels on the Wii, wishing I could beat them at once but anyway...)
I’m not surprised that the first portion of PS2/Wii version of the Dark Gaia boss battle is Punch-Out!! When Nintendo and Next Level Games announced a new Punch-Out!! game for the Wii, SEGA and Dimps wanted to reference it before the new Punch-Out!! Wii game was released the following months.

Finishing this boss (wii version) was one of the weirdest things that ever happened to me. I kept trying and could never win when i was super sonic (i never knew how to dodge the all arm attack dark gaia gave) and one day when i was in the final fight, my sister wanted me to do something so i turned it off. When I was done i turned the tv on and somehow, the game was still going and i was gone for an hour and all of a sudden i could fight dark gaia and then i finished the boss. To this day idk how that actually worked as i left the wii on the whole time
I actually like this version better than the xbox version and I also grew up with this version.
Xbox360 was about fighting the snake things creating the shield but the Wii version is about fighting the final boss himself one good thing I actually liked about the Wii
