    Though Sega once again stumbled with this outing, I have slightly renewed faith and am cautiously optimistic for Sonic’s next appearance.

    I’d like to get past my seeming bias for the Old Days, but every mistake and death reminds me of some comfortable feature from yesterday’s Sonics that didn’t make it into Sonic and the Secret Rings. Sonic is just too fast for his own good.

    From its incongruous RPG-style leveling up to its endless recycling of levels to its utterly ridiculous Arabian Nights-themed story, Sonic and the Secret Rings feels horribly padded from top to bottom.

    Loose controls and repeating levels marred what could have been a break out hit for a series that desperately needed one.

My main problem is the sometimes unresponsive controls, which had me flying off the tracks. The multiplayer was a bad idea, it just damages the game because it just isn't fun. Some levels are pretty good though. If you're a die hard Sonic fan, this game will surely please, but otherwise if you have a wii, play sonic colours, that game is amazing.… Full Review »

Not terrible, but more bad than good. Gameplay is bad compared to other good Sonic games. It's quite repetitive and boring. If the game had cutscenes, it would be a little bit more involving, but no, they decided to make it with pictures, and that sucks. Resuming: The game has a bad history, it's quite repetitive and not involving.… Full Review »

    This game is **** the controls are terrible. I dislike the story of the game, Black Knight did the storybook thing way better. The soundtrackThis game is **** the controls are terrible. I dislike the story of the game, Black Knight did the storybook thing way better. The soundtrack is pretty weak for a Sonic game but there are exceptions such as the Night Palace, Evil Foundry theme, and Sand Oasis. They didn't use the Crush 40 version of the main theme which is way superior tot he one in the game. The game costs 4 bucks on Gamestop, so I guess the price is only worth it if your a billionaire who doesn't know what do spend his money on… Full Review »
