Its looks like our assumptions may be true and that the Sonic Unleashed game may suck.
According to Ars Technica:

"As it stands, it's another in a long row of disappointments, despite the presence of a few fun areas that show what could have been."

I told you guys I had proof. Harland "Colonel" Sanders, the man that made KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), was BLACK.

Well some of the reviews i have read have said that the only thing that lets the game down is the Nighttime levels, if it wasn't for these then it would have been an all round excellent game.

well thats what i'm saying, if sega hadn't fucked up and put the night levels in then i think everyone would be singing a different tune.
I know i would have probably bought it if there were only day time levels.

Scatigno

after playing it for a bit i came to the conclusion that it is just a boring game, you have to read, story line so far is stupid and confusing, and the night levels are a god of war rip off

I think it's pitfall is to keep trying to add in the slow elements into the sonic games instead of just making it pure sonic and less slow,platformer elements....last game it was silver the hedgehog.....this time its the werehog..I'll idea.......meh execution.

Silver the Hedgehog was a nice edition but I thought that they have gone to far. They need to stop all the nonsense and just give us a Sonic game similar to Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast.

I agree...they need to realize they don't have to force a platformer element into sonic b/c it feels unnatural and cluncy....it's better to keep the fast paced stages as is....and I'm fed up w/ team sonic constantly putting out games that destroy sonics honerable name....and make him look like a lame compared to mario.

I've rented the game and am currently playing it, I do see where certain technical issues are in the way of some fun...aka.....camera and the less sensitive controls. The hedgehog levels are fiyah, but the warthog stuff drags on too much tho....but i don't think I'd rate it as low as others did...probably a 5 or so in my book.
