*/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./
