Unbound Saga Critic Reviews

The ten-dollar price tag also feels a bit steep for a game that doesn't have much else going for it, other than a customary multiplayer component. Five dollars would have fit like a glove. If you're a fan of brawlers and you decide to pick it up, your best bet would be to wait for a price drop.

For 800 MS Points, it might not be worth the cash considering there are other beat'em up alternatives on the XBLA. It certainly can provide a challenge, but many gamers today may not have the attention span for modern side-scrolling beat 'em ups such as this.

It's far from the best brawler on XBLA, but Saga is fun enough to warrant a look.

Unbound Saga is a decent enough brawler. You get to pick up and throw homeless people against a wall, which is always fun, and the story itself is good enough to have you button-mash your way to its finale. But its basic, sluggish gameplay is stuck in the '90s. In this age we expect more.

Could have been a great action game with bigger areas and less tedious enemies.

Ultimately fairly soulless.

Unbound Saga is one brutally boring brawler.

Unbound Saga is a beautiful, poorly executed snoozer that can't hold the player's attention for too long.

Unbound Saga has a tempting premise and a snazzy style, complete with visual sound effects, but the brawling action can't hold a candle to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, or even Turtles in Time Re-Shelled. As a fan of the genre, it saddens me to say that the best thing about Unbound Saga is the unusually cool soundtrack.

No-one cared when this was released on PSP in summer 2009, and they certainly won't give a flying fig about it now.
