PSU: Sonic Unleashed Review

Sonic The Hedgehog first rolled onto the Sega Mega Drive over 15 years ago and almost overnight became one of the most recognizable icons in the video game industry. With a colorful career spanning over several generations of video game systems the speedy, spiky-haired mammal has achieved impressive world-wide sales of over 38 million units.

With those whopping statistics under his belt, and whilst there’s still substantial amounts of money to be made, Sonic’s creator doesn’t plan on ending his career any time soon. However, you would have thought that, considering Sonic’s high profile, more care would have been given to the iconic figure’s next-gen debut back in 2006. An awkward control system, camera issues and glitch-riddled gameplay, however, led to much criticism from reviewers and resulted in a poor average score of just 46% on Metacritic. Despite the developer coming up with the excuse of having to rush the title so that it was ready for the launch of the Playstation 3, it was deemed to be one of the worst Sonic games to have ever been released.
