Dark Gaia (Sonic Unleashed) (Wii and PlayStation 2 Version)

Note: This list will primary talk about the battle with Dark Gaia in the Wii and PlayStation 2 versions. Dark Gaia is the main antagonist and boss fight of Sonic Unleashed. He is serves as one of the two main bosses of Eggmanland, is the second/final boss of that level and is overall the eight (tenth if counting the Egg Cauldron in the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions) and final boss of the game.

While the fight in the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions has been disliked by many fans, the fight in the PS2 and Wii Versions is praised by many fans of the sonic series and is considered one of the best final bosses in the said series along with Perfect Chaos, the Nega Wisp Armor, and Solaris.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) The biggest reason as to why this fight is much better, is because it actually feels like a boss fight, rather then be a QTE level sequin like previously.
 * 2) The first part of the first phase is epic, it has you playing as Light Gaia as you punching Dark Gaia, all the while avoiding Dark Gaia's swipes, which is a reference to Punch-Out!.
 * 3) In the second part of the first phase, you play as Sonic as he races along Light Gaia to get to dark Gaia's eyes, but there are a few key differences that makes this phase much more better.
 * 4) Unlike the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, you have no timer, making this far more manageable.
 * 5) Instead of approaching Dark Gaia and then home attacking one of his eyes like n the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, Sonic does hits all three of Dark Gaia's eyes one by one, making it fast paced.
 * 6) Awesome music for both phases.
 * 7) Challenging, fun but fair difficulty.
 * 8) Dark Gaia and Perfect Dark Gaia's designs are awesome.
 * 9) When fighting Perfect Dark Gaia, instead of destroying tentacles to take down a shield and doing quick time events, you have to smash through Dark Gaia's eyes one by one until he's defeated, all the while also avoiding the claw swipes.
 * 10) Dark Gaia has a lot of HP in both forms, making this battle very long and enjoyable.
 * 11) Unlike the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, you are given a rank on your first time fighting him.
 * 12) Perfect Dark Gaia also has one new attack after have of his HP is depleted, he will launch out purple colored energy balls from his single eye, which can be defected.
 * 13) Beautiful ending after the fight.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) In the second phase against Perfect Dark Gaia, you aren't given any indication on what your suppose to do.
 * 2) Being on the Wii and PS2, the graphics are not as great as the ones PS3 and X360 (Though the same goes for the whole game)
