Was anyone REALLY disappointed with Sonic and the Secret Rings?

Yea, I think Sega has forgotten how to make games

they make you do all those stupid missions, like one mission were you have to go threw the level without killing anything, yet at one part you can't go around the enemy (cause the walls block you) or jump over him (it will kill it) so you have to hurt yourself and run threw him while your recovering!. And they put everything out of order....hell im in like the 6th world and I haven't done the boss fight for the 1st world yet!!

IMO IGN was spot on with this review

Well I sure was. :(
Luckily I only rented it.
The game had a ton of flaws. For one, you dont jump on enemys to kill them, you jump then homing attack, so when an enemy appears right in front of you (Which happens alot) they hit you and you lose precious rings.
Also, would you freakin BELEIVE that after you level up to about.... 6 I think, you get upgrades that MAKE THE GAMES CONTROLS BETTER. O_O
Thats crazy. Just simply insane. The controls werent un-responsive before the upgrade really, but they didnt feel natural. They still dont, but come on. Thats wierd.
Alot of the missions were fun to play though. The one were you try and free Sinbad from is cage was pretty fun. But some are also really dissapointing, and your FORCED to play them. (Kind of like the little bonus missions in Sonic Adventure 2, but those were optional.)
But the one thing I REALLY liked was the party mode. Shame I only played it with a friend once. Its actually REALLY fun. IMO. Now Im actually looking forward to Mario Party 8.
So yeah, and came away dissapointed. What do you think?

if i'm not mistaken isn't the homing thing how you killed everything in the 3d sonic games?kidrock17xp

It's definitely one of the best games on Wii. it's difficult, has great controls & plays great.SuzumeCake

I supposed, but in those, enemies didnt come out of nowere forcing you to (And heres something I forgot to mention) not just tap a, but hold down then let go of a and swing the controller forward. Hard to do that in a fraction of a second.Likostwin

I thought it was pretty good. The only thing I have trouble with is switching rails when you're grinding them.

i think its the best controls of a sonic game since 1991. its great to see this once great franchise get back to mediocre to average.

note: when you get ready for a homing attack, wait till the cursor turns red, then attack. it goes alot more smoothly that way.

It's real fun and fast like sonic should be

Didn't even bother buying it because i knew it was going to be bad...foola12

It's not bad... Even gamespot said it was good...

I didn't like the setting at all. Arabian Nights was so stupid imo. I wanted all different places like some other Sonics. Imagine playing in Casino world! :oKikouken

Have you even played the game? There are seven different settings...

Your complaint makes no sense... The environments are just as varied as every other Sonic game...

Thank you, thank you. I can do it no problem now.

YES!! YES YES! This game was HORRIBLE.

Custscenes were abyssmal.

Controls were glitchy and unresponsive... and EARNING good controls?! Are you kiddng? And I personally hate how GS rags on the controls on every Wii game... I generally find them to be pretty well done in most games... they sucked in this one. Attacking only works about half the time.

The game is boring. You run forward... can't turn around, can't turn... you only go from side to side. You'll get moving really fast, and then it stops you so you can inch along some ledge.... wow, fun.

I really just can not understand how this game is so popular... it's crap. It's worse than crap... by far the worst Wii game I've played.

For the first hour I was dissapointed, but once I got more skills and the like, and got into later levels, I got crazy hooked. Actually one of my favorite Wii games so far. Party Mode is pretty bad though.Avatar_Taxidous
