news 28 Posted December 2, 2008 Hi all, We have just published a review of *Sonic Unleashed*. If you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated. *Link:* http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2008/12/02/sonic-unleashed/1 *Picture:* http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/12/sonic-unleashed/fp_img.jpg *Quote: */Arguably, Sonic Unleashed could get some lee-way on account of its casual appeal and the fact that the colourful animal characters, fantastical story and so on make it appear to be more of a kids game than a release for the hard or midcore gamers out there. That argument doesn’t hold much value with us though and we reckon that the constant switching between the challenging race sections and boring fighting sections would put off casual gamers just as much as it does us. Sonic Unleashed puts itself in an awkward spot, annoying and boring seasoned players and proving too challenging and quick for the casual. The Sonic franchise has been bled dry over the last few years and the development team behind the license has been straying further and further from what players actually want for a long time – just look at Shadow the Hedgehog, for example. There have been a few occasions when that rule has been bucked, mainly on the DS and thanks to the interference of BioWare. As it is though, Sonic Unleashed isn’t an exception to this guideline – it’s just another sub-par point on a graph which is charting the slow and depressing decline of everyone’s favourite blue blur./ * *Cheers guys!
