Customer Reviews of Sonic And The Secret Rings

Sonic at his Best
Sonic has always had many bad runs. Sonic Adventure 1 had bad graphics and poor gameplay. Sonic adventure 2 was the same. Shadow the Hedgehog? Something about running around in a burning city shooting soldiers made me feel guilty playing it. ALL OF THESE GAMES HAD HORRIBLE CAMERA VIEWS! Sonic and the secret rings gives me a feeling of happiness and a burst of adrenaline when I play it. As hte first level (Sand Oasis) says, this game is an oasis of hope for the Sonic franchise. The stunning visuals and hair-raising speed make this game hopeful. The music is_as always corny, yet it goes well with the level. Don't give up on this game until you finish it. Some levels are boring, while others I just can't stop playing. The enemies are not human, but rather clorful genies that wear a costume according to which mood the level is set in (in "Pirate Storm") they wear silly pirate hats. Back to the only reason we care about sonic- SPEED. This game dishes out handfuls and handfuls of it. You have no IDEA until your sonic is a level 37, in which you obtain a "Super Speed-Up." Sonic goes too fast for the voiceovers to catch up, and the objects zip by so fast you swear you are sonic speeding through the land of the Arabian Knights.

Kind of a bummer for me.....
I'll make this review short and sweet... <
> <
>The game play is fun, overall. The controls in my opinion can be annoying and not always accurate. Making Sonic go backwards is a joke at best. <
> <
>The game is good enough to pass some time with but I don't look forward to playing it when I get home the way I do other Wii games...like Excite Truck or Elebits. <

Sonic Reaches New Motion-Sensing Heights
Sonic and the Secret Rings brings the blue hedgehog of rolling fame to the Wii platform. This attempts to combine speedy ring-gathering with a bit of role playing storyline. The 1001 Arabian Stories are being erased! <
> <
>The storyline is rather feeble, so don't worry about it much. There's an evil genie. There's a good, pretty female genie. You have to gather rings. First, though, you have to wade through an interminable tutorial sequence to get to the main gameplay. <
> <
>You follow paths of rings - going through tunnels, along tropical beaches, jumping over obstacles, doding falling objects, and more The graphics are nice in an arcadey way, and really, since you're usually flying along at Mach 10, it doesn't really matter. All that matters is getting to that next sequence of rings. <
> <
>This is not a game that you get in "one pass". The key is to learn the order of the rings, so that you can eventually play through a level. You have to wonder just who builds these temples full of moving spikes and falling pillars! <
> <
>I have to comment on the sound. It is really odd. Sometimes you get gentle Arabian tunes, as befitting the storyline. Most of the rest of the game, though, you get a head-banging rock anthem which gets really old, really quickly. <
> <
>Intriguingly, in a Disney-like twist, you're trying to rescue the King of the Arabian Nights story - when in the real myth, the King was the 'bad guy' of the stories, the one who would kill the storyteller unless she came up with a new, intersting tale each night. <
> <
>There are party games to enjoy with friends, and oodles of replayability to get the top score in each level. The question is, of course, if you really want to. This is one of those games that will have its fans and foes. If you love Sonic games, you'll enjoy the ability to play Sonic with souped-up graphics, the Wii remote to guide your Sonic friend and a whole new range of adventures to explore. If you're not much of a Sonic lover, this isn't going to change your mind. Sonic seems a bit sluggish, the gameplay isn't that much different than before and the storyline is traditionally silly.
