The speedy blue wonder makes his debut on the Nintendo Wii, and does so well.
Overall, the controls are a little difficult to grasp, but its actually quite fun once you get used to it. You have to tilt the Wiimote from side to side to turn Sonic left or right, as he constantly moves forward. Now, to collect rings and dodge obstacles, this takes a little more practice, since you need to do it at a different pace depending on how fast Sonic is moving. You can use the 1 button to break, and the 2 button to jump, and you thrust the Wiimote forwards to use the homing attack. The levels in the game become increasingly difficult, and depending on the mission you're doing, can get even more difficult to get through. The fact that you can level Sonic up to get more skills to equip to his "Skill Ring" is actually pretty neat, although it causes Sonic to be pretty slow at the games beginning.
Graphics
To put it bluntly, this game has some of the prettiest and most vibrant graphics I've seen on a Wii game yet. The worlds are well put together, and the characters look really good. One issue I have though, is that most of the scenes were placed in 2D, aside from the two CG sequences near the end of the game.
Sound
The soundtrack for this game is pretty unique, mixing that usual Sonic feel with some sounds of the middle east. Most of the world themes are catchy, and the games theme song is actually quite addictive and well done as well.
Overall
If you aren't really that big of a Sonic fan, I'd hold off on purchasing this until it goes down in price. However, if you're looking for a decent Wii game to play or you are a Sonic fan, this game is for you. It isn't terribly long (the main plot only taking me about 5 hour to accomplish), but there are over 100 missions to complete, and a whole truckload of features to unlock. The game isn't without flaws, but its a solid Wii title that will keep you playing for a good while.
