Sorry, but I have more trust in satan than I have in user scores...


Yeah user scores are extremely sketchy. Especially when you look at other games that they have reviewed.

SEGA did not send any review copies out. IGN and Destructoid had to purchase their own. Expect that to have a negative impact.


Well it should have...


...wut? Why should that have an impact on the score? 

PS: OP should probably edit the title to say that it is only the user score


Because they are delaying the review for people who want to buy the game, but want to see the reviews first... Whats the point of reviews after the game is released these days?

I have sen multiple tv adds for Sonic 3DS version and none for the Wii U version -
They don t even say "also on the Wii U" at the end of the 2DS version add - there is no hint of it
Very strange IMO - looks like they will push the 3DS version and the tv show and pretend like the WiiU version does not exist

If they go as far as to pretend it doesnt exist, then why not just delay it and fix it...?

The only review of this game I care about is the one I will write for it when I play and beat it within the next 3-4.5 years (give or take a few months). I hope you all anticipate with much anticipation!

User scores are the worst and most inaccurate example of reference when it comes to games ever.

I heard Rise of Lyric unfortunately has major glitches.

I agree-  i m sure there will be a time in 2015 that a revamped Sonic could be useful to fill a hole in the Wii u release lineup -  now there are a relatively high number of games coming out -it's not like the Wii u version would be missed right now, so why not take the time and release it next Spring or whenever it is "ready"
