Sonic and the Secret Rings Review

Here it is. My first game review on Sonic and the Secret Rings

If I could describe this game with two words, it would be under rated. Sure, the game's not perfect, it has it's flaws, but it's better then most people say.

Voice acting: For the most part, the voice acting was okay. Wasnt great, but wasnt that bad. The only complaint I have is Sharha's voice, it's a little too uncharacteristic.

Music: The music, like in a lot of 3D Sonic games, was very good. My favorite tunes are probably

Seven Rings in Hand, main theme.

Let the Speed Mend It: Theme for the first stage

That's How It Started: Theme for 3rd Boss Battle

Pirate Storm theme

Levitated Ruin theme

Musn't Float Away: Theme for Final Stage

Characters: Two new characters appeared in this game.

Sharha, the Genie of the Ring: I liked thi character. She did make a good character, helping Sonic, but helping the bad guy in the end, but then helping Sonic again. Like I said though, I did not like her dub voice, it doesnt suit her. Her original voice did.

Erazor Djinn: Oh no! It's the evil Barney the Dinosaur! EVERYBODY RUN!!! I'm not kidding, he's pirple like Barney. I like this villan, he acutally has a weapon, a ginat razor [hence his name]

Plot: The plot basically is the Erazor Djinn is absorbing the power id the book Arabian Nights. Sonic, asked by Sharha, goes into the Arabian Nights to stop him. I know it's a wierd plot, but at least Sega is trying to make each game different.

Grahpics: Most of the cutscenes are meant to lokk like a book, but the 2 CGI cutscenes and the action stages look really cool.

Sand Oasis: The first level, a desert like world. You can see the water abnd sand great. There is a boss in this level called the Sand Scorpion.

Dinosaur Jungle: The second level, a jungle filled with dinosaurs. The dinosaurs look really cool.

Evil Foundry: A firey factory filled to the brim with lava and machinery. Thereis a boss called the Ifrit Golem.

Levitated Ruin: Ruins flying in the sky. I love this stage.

Pirate Storm: A swarm of pirate ships at sea. There is a boss called Captain Behemoth.

Skeleton Dome: A dome of skulls in a snowy wasteland.

Night Palace: A floating palace in the sky. Another of my favorites. You face the Erazor Djinn here, then Alf-Wayla-wa-Layla.

Gameplay: Sonic is the only playable character in single player mode. Like in previous games, the aim is mostly to get to the goal, so you can run fast, and perform the clasic homing attack. Grinding is back, but it's really hard to pull of. Sonic gets two new abilities. Speed Break, and Time Break. Speed Break gives Sonic a tremendous burst of speed, while Time Break slows things down.

Overall: I think this is a great game. It is a lot of fun. At times, there are some flaws, but it is still fun. This is the first Sonic game to the Wii, and a good start. I recommend this game.

Tomarrow's rant: Sonic 06.
