Invisible object blocks players paths
Early this morning fans of Sonic Unleashed received an unexpectedly heaping helping of Sonic Unleashed downloadable content (DLC for short) with the release of the Shamar & Apotos Adventure Pack. Though it was released a week later than anticipated, there are some signs that perhaps it could’ve used another week.
Those who visit the site frequently will know that I am the go-to guy around here when it comes to playing and reviewing the Sonic Unleashed DLC packs. Thus, imagine my surprise when I discovered in the DLC for Arid Sands Act 1-2 an invisible barrier. And not just any invisible barrier – but an invisible barrier that damages Sonic if he touches it.
(Can’t see the video? Click here!)
For the impatient, fast forward to the 1:55 mark to see the invisible barrier in action. It is currently unclear if SonicTeam has any intention of patching this, though let’s hope that they do.
Expect my full review of the Shamar & Apotos Adventure Pack sometime tomorrow.

While that’s disconcerting, couldn’t you just hop off the rail and take the upper path?
lol, epic fail.
I checked this out and sucessfully passed through it by homing attacking the enemy on the other side. Besides the upper path is usually the route I take.
Invisible barrier…. That’s retarded.
I experienced something like this in the Wall Jump Level in Mazuri. While it pissed me off it was not a 100% guarantee that it would occur. Act 1-2 is the only level I haven’t tried yet, because I’m still dealing with Act 4 in Apotos, which makes me want to die.
*sigh* Tristan, DM is better for the group of people who can’t view youtube because of a site blocker. Why don’t you realize that?
We use YouTube because it’s much easier for all of us to embed, as opposed to most of the other methods like DailyMotion…not to mention it’s the way nearly all popular video content is shared today.
We can’t and won’t change over simply because a few people are being temporarily held back by higher-up prudes who think YouTube is a haven for unpleasant content–that’s what home computing is for. Not to mention changing over to another video service would severely limit the ability of us to bring you new video on a consistent basis…DM and the other sites simply aren’t popular enough to justify it.

this isn’t that horrible of a glitch, it’s very easy to get around it.
Re-download the adventure pack. I didn’t had this problem when I downloaded it yesterday. such a weird glitch…
@Parax: I shouldn’t have to “Get around” it, though. Don’t excuse lazy/poor ethics.
This is not a constant glitch. I do not experience it.
@Kogen: It’s weird, but this invisible object actually seems to move positions sometimes. I’ve had it so low that it hits me as I come in to the area, but when I try and homing attack the missile robot on the platforms above I don’t touch it at all.
I actually didn’t run into this glitch. And, as others have said, I usually take the upper path, anyway.
Yep- it’s a Sonic game.
All in all, that’s pretty funny.
Sonic Team, have you no f*cking shame? As a Sonic fan, this is especially embarassing.
Well, I never take that pathway anyway.
Also did anyone experience this while using the upper pathway?
