Sonic Rush

Sonic Rush is a Nintendo DS game that goes back to the 2D Sonic games, but does it live up to the famous 2D Sonic games? You will be surprised.

All I can say is Sonic Rush, where have you been all my life. This game is awesome. It takes all of the good things about the 2D Sonic game and improves on it. After playing some of the bad 3D Sonic games I am pleasantly surprised and relieved that Sonic Rush is a must have.

Even though it is 2D, it still has 3D elements, like the 3D special stages and the 3D touches while playing the game. The animation is excellent. Sonic has different animations for the different situations he is in. When you play the game you will notice these animations, they added way more than the old games.

Sonic the hedgehog is so fast you can sometimes see a double image of him. To make things even better, you can give sonic a temporary boost to speed him up. This is something that was not available in the 2D Sonic games.

This burst of speed is great, because it makes game move forward at the same fast pace. It is irritating if you where traveling fast and then something breaks that rhythm, an issue I always had with the older games. The boost keeps the same flow going.

You can power up your boost meter by doing tricks while airborne. While doing these tricks the crowd will go wild.

You will also be using both of the DS screens, but most of the time you will use the top one.

If you thought about buying Sonic Rush, do not wait and by it now. It is better than the old 2D Sonic games and it is very addictive to play it on the Nintendo DS.
