Classic Sonic + Wii = Fun!Strengths: A return to what Sonic has always been about... FUN! Weakness: Learning curve for Wii-mote. In the past few years, we've seen all sorts of new things for Sonic and pals. We've even seen Shadow get his own game featuring (of all things) shooting and blowing stuff up. For the first entry in the Wii, the Sonic franchise takes a step back and seems to re-evaluate everything. The game implements some RPG elements to Sonic's improvement, making the game pace and Sonic's abilities improve as...

Best console sonic game in quite a while, but that's...Strengths: Fast gameplay, good RPG elements Weakness: Still can't bring back all the old 2D sonic feeling I've always been a fan of sonic games and played through every one that was released on the Genesis and Dreamcast. Since sonic was changed into a 3D game it has gone downhill. The Sonic Adventure series was too slow and the 360/PS3 Sonic had terrible control issues. This game (other than the GBA and DS 2D sonic games) comes the closest to the 2D sonic feeling since then. The speed of the 2D games...

Sega Sonic and the Secret RingsStrengths: Sonic Sonic Sonic!!! Weakness: None Good fun for gamers of all ages. Wii controls are not so hard to master, you need to use the wii-mote horizontally. This game has the best graphics that I have seen for Sonic in a very long time. I give Sonic 4 golden rings out of five. If you're a Sonic fan, then this game is a must have...

A return to what made Sonic greatStrengths: Gameplay, music, and replayability are much improved over the Gamecube titles in the Sonic series Weakness: Controls can be difficult All said and done, this title in the Sonic series is a return to much of the frenzied fun that made Sonic a big hit for Sega years ago. This is the first Sonic 3D title that has been actually worthwhile playing. 3D landscapes are very nicely done, and the game is challenging without becoming completely impossible. Given that this is one of the first titles to come out on the Wii, there are a few...

If you are a true Sonic Gamer, you may like this.Strengths: There are lots of missions. The graphics and color are very good. Weakness: The different levels are very similar and the control is difficult. This game may be frustrating and aggravating at first but, once you get past the intro. it got much more entertaining. The stages seem to repeat themselves. I love the music.

Sonic and the Scret RingsStrengths: Innovative control Weakness: Wii remote learning curve Sonic and the Scret Rings is one of the best Sonic games on the market so far. Obviously, you control Sonic using the Wii remote. However, it is not always easy. There is definitely a learning curve involved to master Sonic movements. There seems to be a little inaccuracy with the control at times. The story is simply and decent, typical of gearing towards a younger audience. Graphics is not...

Sonic And The Secret Rings (Wii)Strengths: More like Sonic games of the past, looks and sounds good, good use of the Wiimote Weakness: Wiimote has a little of a learning curve, camera issues, takes a while to get going Sonic And The Secret Rings is one of the better Sonic games in the past few years. It's more like the 2D Sonic games of the past, though done in 3D, with the obvious camera issues, unfortunately. Using the Wiimote puts a new spin on controlling Sonic, though it takes a little while to get used to the controls, as well as getting the game up to frenetic fun. The game looks better than most of the...

Sonic and the Secret RingsStrengths: Finally, a decent Sonic game on a home console! Decent use of Wii controls. Weakness: The flip side of the Wii control issue - sometimes things can be a little inaccurate. Sonic and the Secret Rings is a solid title for the Wii. It is easily the best Sonic title in many years for a home system (the handheld DS game Sonic Rush is probably the best Sonic game of the last several years overall). In this game you control Sonic with the Wii remote held sideways and steer him through various worlds. The story is taken from Arabian Nights and you will find yourself in...

Sonic and the Secret RingsStrengths: Sonic goodies Weakness: Minor control issue Sonic and the Secret Rings is a great game that takes advantage of the Wii remote control. The control is a little hard to master since Sonic is designed to run fast and you can't really slow him down but to steer him with the remote. It's difficult at first but after a few levels the game really starts to get better and more fun.

Sonic and the Secret Rings for Wii
The most common complaint that critics cited against previous 3D Sonic games, most famously Sonic Adventure, was that the camera often didn’t point in the direction that they were going. The game was lambasted for this, and now it’s not uncommon to see new games with wonky camera systems to be mockingly compared to Sonic’s Dreamcast debut. But was the problem the game, or the critics... Top

Sonic and the Secret Rings
Let’s face it folks, the years have not been kind to SEGA’s little blue hedgehog that could. After some pretty dismal showings and ill-received 3D exploits (particularly the most recent fiasco on the Xbox 360 and PS3), it’s beginning to appear that Sonic has ran his course (pun intended). However, SEGA is looking to change all of that with his latest title, Sonic and the Secret Rings.... TopAdvertisement

Finally a decent 3-D Sonic game
Strengths: It’s Sonic!, looks great, very entertaining
Weakness: Some control and camera issues
I am a big fan of the original 2-D side scrolling Sonic games and have been largely unimpressed with the previous attempts at 3-D Sonic games. This entry into the series is much, much better. In the Secret Rings, Sonic is constantly moving forward and you hold the Wii remote horizontal style and “steer” him much like you would in a driving game. This game also moves fast at times! So fast you...
