First Review Score for Sonic Superstars Comes in via Famitsu

Quote

"The game takes about 24 hours to clear"

Is the game really that long? If so, that's actually insane. But for all we know, it could just be the reviewers taking their precious time...

That has to be a mistranslation. I'm sure this should read as 2-4 hours to clear the main campaign with 30+ hours of side content, this would make far more sense. 

Makes me wonder what is classed as side content. Secret levels? Character specific adventure lines? Compared to what they deemed as main content

If not, how the heck would 24 hrs work?!?!

There's absolutely no way there's a full 24 hours worth of content unless the player is constantly failing at every possible turn and doing so with every character individually. It has to mean 2-4 hours for the campaign. That's the usual standard classic Sonic length.

The whole '24 hours' thing feels like promotional copy sent to Famitsu by the publisher to print in the magazine, if I'm being honest. I can totally see SEGA sending over a briefing with that kind of detail on it.

I cant wait for this cuz it's gonna be mutliplayer, and that means i can play with my family.

Review embargo dropped earlier today, but we don't seem to have a proper review thread up (yet).
