Sonic demo unleashed on XBL

Get a taster of the hedgehog's latest outing now
Sega's released a Sonic Unleashed demo on Xbox Live for all the speed freaks among you.

While the company's acknowledged that some Sonic criticism has been warranted in recent times, it has high hopes for Unleashed.

Developed by the Sonic Team studio using the new Hedgehog Engine, Sega said the game would offer "a visually rich next generation look and feel with elements of classic Sonic gameplay mechanics".

Our friends at Xbox World 360 reckon Unleashed packs some classic Sonic action and sharp graphics, but also say it's a little short and that the Werehog levels are a bit crappy.

Check out the full review here.

It's better than I expected.

Stupidly fast and looks really clean.

Well, there's two polar opposite opinions if ever I read them :)
It looks mildly fun, but I can't see it being a purchase.

I'm thinking i might pick this up when i see it in a bargain bin sometime in the near future. Fun game but not worth £40

I didn't expect anything from this game and going by the demo it doesn't deliver anything. It just feels completely devoid of entertainment.

I would expect to see this in the bargain bins by February.

They need to either take Sonic back to it's original roots or let it go.

Finally, a demo so I can play it and confirm that I won't be buying it.

that said, even one classic level would be awesome.

This is in gamestation for around £20 at the moment.
Or if you want it on the ps2 its just a snippet under a tenner!

didn't expect the drop to be this quick. at least the DS sonic games are still good.

This demo was alot of fun, I hate to say it but when its 6 quid in a bargin bin I might buy it then.

Awesome demo, although I noticed the Werehog section was mysteriously absent, I wonder why! Stupendously fast, and a lot of fun in Daytime at least. I'm still getting it.

Be warned! The jump button can be seriously unresponsive and the came camera in the werehog levels is utter sh*te! 6/10 :?
