So here I am sitting on the fence wether to purchase sonic unleashed or not( I will now), so i toggle down to trust ole metacritic.. the game seems to have fairly good reviews on the wii so i decide to check the not so good ones and clearly im not surprised:

Nintendo world report gave sonic a 4.0(not an average) apparently..

 

and here is the individual scoring :

 

Graphics: 9.0

Besides the overabundant load times, Sonic Unleashed runs fast and looks great.

Sound: 7.0

The only bright side with the music is that it doesn't include any cheesy lyrics. However, the music now just employs a repetitive generic score. The sound effects are typical for the Sonic series.

Control: 6.0

When you play as Sonic the Hedgehog, the controls are good. When you play as Sonic the Werehog, the controls just boil down into a terrible waggle-fest.

Gameplay: 5.0

The Hedgehog levels are intricately laid out with branching paths and many secrets. The Werehog levels are very straightforward and boring.

Lastability: 6.0

There are numerous side missions, but very few of them are interesting. Other than that, once the main story ends, all you can do is replay the levels you already played to get better scores.

 

Now there is no way a game that scores 5.0 on gameplay( I take that as the bare minimum for a score) and above that on every other parameter (lastability, control 6.0) can score 4.0 overall.. I meant it doesnt make sense.. Its like me giving valkyria a 9.0 for everything and then giving it a 6.0 as the final score.. doesnt make any F$#@ing sense..

 

so any more screwed up reviews based on biased donkeys for reviewers? im not familiar with NWR so im guessing its a bunch of wankers who get off on coupon codes

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
