Bit-tech: 4/10 for Unleashed 360

With people thinking that IGN’s review of Sonic Unleashed being much too unfair, this one should get the same amount of attention.

The folks from Bit-Tech has just recently gotten there review up of the 360 build of Sonic Unleashed. They weren’t pleased with game; seeing as how they gave it a low score of 4/10.

Much like all the other critics who review the 360 edition, they praised the day-time stages:

The first time you actually get to play as Sonic he’s pretty much exactly as you’d expect – speedy, self-indulgent and spikier than a rusty wire brush. You’re immediately introduced to the first, most fun part of the game; the familiar, linear and super-fast racer.

The good just only seemed to be around Sonic day-time stages again, because they believe the Werehogs level appear to be stupid.

What’s worse is that, when you’re not fart-arsing around with the awful platform sections then you’re probably in some awful combat sequence, fighting a load of Eggman’s robots and cronies with your claws and fangs.

The combat is nowhere near as fun as it should be either, never rising above mindless button bashing. We’ve literally defeated dozens of enemy hordes without even looking at the screen.

Overall, there was 1 positive out of 3 negatives they had on the game:

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.

  1. Goddamn it! I’ve had it with the gaming media! They can go *~%@ off! I feel awful because of this, and I know I’m overreacting! I always have!

  2. …….

    *puts Bit-Tech on my laugh list*

    Well, at least I’ll have the last laugh on this.

    I’m better than those in skill guys anyhow.

  3. Let me just say something quickly.

    If people react as if the world is coming to an end, it will not be because of reviews like these.

    It would be like that because the Sonic fans are overreacting like the review ruined everything just because of how it turned out. The reviews will not ruin anything. The behavior and whining attitude of the Sonic fans will.

    Wouldn’t you agree, Singerland?

  5. In my opinion SONIC UNELASHED IS THE BEST GAME OF THE WORLD thos so called “game especialists” can go to hell, they are just “killing” sonic team they want that SONCI THE HEDGEHOG die!!! I feel that thei’r taking a part of me doing that, that’s not cool!!!

  6. I dont get it why is the wii version getting the best grades I have the wii version its awesome

  7. This is getting crazier and crazier every review that is released. i’m just waiting for a zero before i know something is up

  8. I’ve got Sonic Unleashed for the 360 and it’s the best game I ever played since the Genesis time, it got all that a sonic fan want, speed, adventure, plataforming, and an adiccional thing “The Werehog” and I like the wEREOG its’ great, but Sonic speed is better 😛 but i don’t care aboutu those reviews I just want that SONIC TEAM CONTINUES TO GIVE US SONIC GAMES LIKE THIS ONE!!!

    SONCI THE HEDGEHOG 4 ever…

  9. Geez. Methinks that people don’t like Unleashed360 very well…

    But what was my first clue? =p

  10. WILL YOU IDIOTS STOP OVEREACTING ABOUT THE WERE-HOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. Here is why reviewers say the Wii/PS2 is doing better than the 360/PS3:
    Wii/PS2 complaints:
    Werehog
    360/PS3 complaints:
    Hub-worlds
    Tornado
    Sun and Moon medals
    Werehog
    These reviews are basically showing that these element make a Sonic game a slow paced experience while it should be a fast paced one.

  13. That’s a good point Mark Chao-san. I was actually rethinking getting Unleashed, bu then I thought….wait, IGN has the opposite opinion of everyone else!

    They liked Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. Not Unleashed. Kinda the reverse of what everyone else thinks.

    I think Sonic has been bullied too long, and he’s been getting pushed around long enough. Time to take these jerks down. For Sonic. Not SEGA, Sonic.

  14. Haters.

    HATERS, I SAY!

    Hey, I haven’t beaten Sonic Unleashed yet.

    IS KNUCKLES/SHADOW IN THE GAME AT ALL LOL

  15. Lol Aqua Team. I’m stuck in Holoska, lol. It’s worse than when I was stuck in Dusty Desert with Silver when I was playing Sonic 06, haha. I’ve yet to even get to Shamar, Adabat, and Empire City.

  16. Sonication: Yeah, I agree.

    Hopefully, SEGA catches the message that all the critics are sending. There has been a lot of praise for the daytime stages. It should be noted by SEGA that the critics are solely slamming their title with 4s and such simply for the non-Sonic sections.

    The number Bit-Tech gave is deceiving, as they basically said what most other people said (including those who gave the game 6s and 7s). I really think numbers should be dealt away with, but eh, whaddya gonna do?

  17. Bit-tech?

    I used to go to that site when I was more into PC gaming, it seems strange to me that they are reviewing this game at all.

  18. I just wish TSSZ could just stop posting all these upcoming negative reviews of Unleashed. Reading those is just a waste of time.

  19. Ok, the hub worlds aren’t as necessary. You can find the stage in a second, the Tornadod minigame only appears twice, Werehog stages are cut in super half so you don’t even play as him as mcuch as you would in the Wii version. I dislike the low score sites.
    But they can’t shut the fans and normal gamers up. Even IGN’s users rated this game an 8.5/10, That’s reasonable

  20. @Slingerland: I knew you would agree. 😉

    I think Sega, as you said, should listen to the critics this time and keep the daytime stages for next game. I loved the Werehog, but it wasn’t the best idea Sega had. I’d be rather disappointed at Sega if they announce the next Sonic game and it has another random gimmick.

    Sega should stick to the daytime stages. If they decide to add more playable characters like Tails and Knuckles, and they are completely optional, then fine. Just make them as fast as they were in the classic games. Please Sega; don’t make them slower like they were in the last few Sonic 3d games.

  21. Even Hilary Goldstein said that the daytime stages are “What a new generation Sonic should be like”.

    Nishiyama has no choice now but to go for that “XBLA Sonic 4” idea that was touched upon in October.

  22. And another thing, Sega should need to have a long hard look at Capcom – Mega Man 9 and Street Fighter IV on a 2d plane – it reads like a fan’s wishlist…. when SFIV sells gazillions and gets 93% on Metacritic, Sega need to follow suit.

  24. @Acell: A shuffle of jobs is hardly “a new team”. It’s the same team in different positions.
