Yay! An awesome sonic game for the Wii!! Very fun.
The story is sonic's sleep being interrupted by Sharrah, a genie from inside the land of the Arabian Nights who is in trouble. An all-powerful genie, the Erazor Djinn, has taken the words off the pages and wrecking that world. It's up to sonic as a race against time threatens for disaster!
The controls take some getting used to, seeing as how you play with the wii remote tipped on its side. You tilt left and right to move sonic, press and hold 2 to jump, 1 to brake, jerk it forward for a homing attack, and various other controls make playing an interesting experience. As you progress the story, you learn various skills that you can equip to a ring when you gain enough experience. These skills make you move easier, give you advantages, or increase your power in different ways. You also have a series of missions to choose from. Once you complete one, more open up for you to complete. Sometimes you will unlock things to view in the secret book in the main menu. Doing so is tricky, but nice if you manage to. Multiplayer is nicely done as well. The only problem is ring loss because every time you get hit, you lose 20 rings. This can become slightly annoying but easy enough to overlook from all the good stuff.
The graphics for sonic are terriffic and he looks better than ever. The environments you go through are open and clear, giving you a nice view most of the time. While you play through these environments, there is no glitching or slow down, so no worry there. The loading time is suprisingly quick as well.
The music can be catchy at times too.
Overall, I liked the control scheme and it was tricky, but fun. Most people could have a good time with this game and I recommend it for everyone!
