OXCGN: Sonic Unleashed Review

If Sonic can stop trying to be both 'old school' and 'evolutionary' and just stick to being a solid game with well-paced variety and exploration, without the punishing challenge which alienates kids and casuals, it really could own the 'cute, cartoony and fun' niche. Instead it tries to straddle the past and present too literally and, like Sonic does so often in the game, falls a bit flat.
