Sonic and the Secret Rings (Wii)

This is a great sonic game, i am not sure why i am shocked as every game that has sonic in tends to be a great game. Sonic and the Secret Rings, this is sonic's first solo adventure since the sega megadrive and we have all missed him. Sonic finds himself in the colorful and vibrant world of the Arabian Nights he goes thhrough a 3D world which is brought to life with realistic water reflections, light bloom, and lifelike physics. Sonic and the Secret Rings makes great use if the Wii remote, the graphics are not bad either. It is like most sonic games where you can only run in one direction but uses the game play well. The game ...  Read the complete review

Having been a big fan of the Sonic games on the old mega drive back in the day (!) I love the Wii so I thought this would be a great game. Overall it isn't bad, I just feel that they could have made more of it. It takes ages to get through the training levels and you are not aloud into the main game until you have completed them. When you actualy get into the game while it is fun and fast to play, you sometimes don't feel like you are in full control of Sonic, he runs at his own pace and you can just move him left to right and make him jump. Its not a complicated game to play and its easy to follow so its great if you don't want anything in depth but if you are looking ...  Read the complete review

BACKGROUND Everyone remembers the good sonic games on the mega drive all those year's ago. Sonic adventure on the dreamcast was good but felt different. However, after all that several disastrous attempts were made at reharshing the Sonic formula.. a sour taste in many mouths. so how will the wii version stack? THE GAME: Sonic on the Wii plays differently to the other 3D sonic games, if anything its more akin to the mega drive games with a 2.5 D/3D perspective. This game involves you controlling sonic by titlin the wii mote and moving it around t create gestures e.g. dash, and attack. As a result Sonic will ...  Read the complete review

I wasn't really a gamer back in the years of Sega's consoles, so I never really experienced what many would call a "true" Sonic game. Since I've been playing games, it's been Nintendo all the way with me -- I would take the portly Italian plumber of that blue hedgehog any day. But as time passed, I just couldn't resist the appeal of the Sonic games. So, when Sonic Rush was finally released on the Nintendo DS, I felt I had to pick it up. I won't say too much about that now because I'm still working on it and I think it's too early to give a real opinion, but I'll say that my first impressions were definitely negative ones. And then comes along Sonic and the ...  Read the complete review

As an avid Wii player and also a massive fan of Segas previous Sonic the Hedgehog games, I purchased this with high hopes. Although very action packed, brilliant graphics and sound, plenty of different games, I felt very disappointed. The whole game has a Middle Eastern theme and there are two ways in which you can go about playing: Challenges: 100 high velocity missions set in stunning fantastical locations. Play with friends: 40 party games for up to 4 players The Challenge Mode is slighty disappointing to me and I could not continue to play after the first 5 minutes. There is a very, very long story book played ...  Read the complete review
