 Finally, a new Sonic the Hedgehog game that is worthy of being called excellent! December 21, 2005
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Let's face it: Sonic Rush is one of the best games out there. It has challenging levels, nice graphics, and bouncy (and somewhat catchy) music. It has very few flaws, and seems to be the fastest sonic game yet!
The story is simple, but intriguing, and the two characters are slightly different, making the levels double in replay value. The levels are huge and stunning, and each one seems to bring on a new challenge.
Sonic and Blaze's models are gorgeous, and so are the backgrounds. They are not over or underdone. The speed is perfect (after all, Sonic IS about speed) and the frames are never slow or choppy. The boss battles are an amazing highlight: some change from a side-scroller to a 3D arena! Others are in a "donut-like" arena, which Sonic or Blaze run around in. Most bosses are different than the other, with a few harder remakes of earlier machines.
The music is... Interesting... It is kind of unexpected at first, but has the sort of "funky" rhythm that will make you want to hear them over and over again. This music sets the level tone quite nicely.
Game play is colorful, addictive, and fairly challenging (but not TOO hard). The only thing halfway "wrong" is the fact that many levels have blind jumps and enemies, which might require a few lives to get past. Many of these instances would make you lose a life if you did the slightest thing wrong. But this is not really a problem, as much as an extra challenge or reflex tester. There are quite a few story cut-scenes and lines, which are an added extra that helps you understand what is going on. I find these lines interesting and somewhat comical, plus the word choice is nice and nothing like that of the rather disappointing game "Shadow the Hedgehog".
Finally, to the person that said that the special stages were impossible... Ha! They were really easy! The last one is quite difficult, but it is very possible (hint: continually press the pause button so you can more easily dodge those spiky mines). The final boss is pretty easy, too! (You must hit his hands, then run to his arm and press down on the white part, then hit the cockpit when he stops shaking) Once you get all seven Chaos Emeralds with Sonic, you unlock a fairly challenging (and completely awesome) secret boss with "Super Sonic" and "Super Blaze" against Eggman and Eggman Nega.
Overall, Sonic Rush is an excellent game that all Nintendo DS owners should consider. The game-play does seem to go by fast, but it has excellent replay value, music, and graphics. Sonic Rush is perhaps the best Sonic game to date, in my opinion.
Sonic Rush is a winner! January 6, 2006

The Nintendo DS was designed as a new handheld with 2 screens for double the gameplay. Of course, with something as cool as that, Sonic just had to make an appearance.
Sonic is teaming up with Princess Blaze the Cat, and they are on their way to defeat Dr. Eggman and his clone Nega. Sonic is, as usual, very speedy, while Blaze uses her firepowers.
This game has the usual Green Hill, Water, Casino and Sky Base zones, and the characters have "Burst mode" to make them speedier than ever. The emerald special stages are 3D tube run stages, and you get to move Sonic around with the magic pen.
I must admit, some of the stages were hard, but I was able to take another reviewer's advice. Once you complete all of Sonic and Blaze's stages, you will face a challenging, but defeatable boss, and you play as Super Sonic and Hyper Blaze. Super Sonic has to push obstacles toward the boss while Hyper Blaze gets to hack up flaming hairballs. (She is a cat, after all!)
Overall, 5 stars. A certain must-have for those who have a DS, and I hope more Sonic DS games are on the way!

Before I hadded this game, I used to play the sonic games for gameboy advance. When I got this game and I started playing, I found it much better than the gameboy advance ones. You can use 2 players, Sonic the hedgehog or Blaze the Cat. You move with the arrow pad, jump with either the a and b buttons, and boost with the x or y buttons. You use the r button to do like an extra jump with sonic, and hover down with blaze. There's a bar at the left side of the screen which tells how many points do you have to use the boost.Every time you kill an enemy you kill an enemy you get more points. You also get more when you press the r button to make a somersault when you are flying in the air or when you are grinding you also get more points.
This game is amazing. Eventhough it's 2D, graphics are clear and the gameplay is great. At first you may feel it too fast, but later you may get used to it. There are are 7 zones and a final boss. Each zone has 2 stages and a boss. Bosses are in a kind of 3D where you cannot move around, but they are good. Both sonic and blaze play the same stages but in different orders. There are special stages which can only be played by sonic. On a normal stage there are some wheels hidden. If you find one you can use it to get to a special stage. A special stage is in 3D, where sonic runs automatically, and you make him move from side to side with the stylus to dodge the obstacles and get rings. When you clear a special stage you get a chaos emerald. If you get all 7 chaos emeralds you unlock an extra zone.
Multiplayer mode can be played with either one game card or a game card for each player, but I see no difference in it, you can play nothing else with 2 game cards. Up to 2 players can play, It's about racing through the stages, the first one to clear it wins.
There are some things of this game I didn't liked that were the reasons why I gave it 4 stars, not 5 stars. I think stages will be better in 3D, which will probably be possible on a nintendo DS console. I also felt the story too short, and I got through the stages too fast. Also, when you get through the game, there's nothing to do more than clear the stages you've already cleared, like many other sonic games.
In all, this is a great game, and If you want a game of sonic for your nintendo DS, don't wait to buy it.

This game is great!!!!!! The only problem is that you move way too fast. But of course that's the point of a Sonic game. I reccomend it.
