Sonic: Rush Brings back some ollldd style classic sonic game play. Its the classic side scroller fast paced adventure game that you played years ago, only with 14 new stages and 1 new character. Game play: Most important feature in a game, right? As a nintendo user its obviously what you are interested in. The gameplay is as stated above, just like the old games you played before. New levels. etc. Is that a bad thing? HELL NO! All those Sonic racing games... and adventure games or w/e they are hurt sonics name and we all know it! its nothing LIKE what sonic gameplay should be! So this game goes back to the classic style and well... its quite a bit of fun! It also throws in a minigame type thing every so often in levels where you use the stylus. There are however some bad things about the gameplay... Sometimes you can hit things that arent really in your veiw distance.. making it so you have to almost memorise parts of levels and is a bit frustrating. The last boss is also incredibly difficult.

Graphics: Old school sonic graphics with some bits of 3D thrown in here and there... nothing to OO and AAH over but it gets the job done with a sonic game. Not like we are looking for something out of the ordinary if we are playing Sonic.

Sound: Surprisingly, the music wasn't half bad! Some of the music is some what catchy as you are zooming through levels. Other times it can be a bit annoying. But overall pretty decent.

Value: It was my first DS game and it took me a couple weeks to beat (take into consideration i play in betwean things and not sitting down for a couple of consecutive hours of gameplay) and overall had a pretty entertaining experience. However, i dont know if ill end up picking it up very often agian. But just based on the fact that i MAY pick it up agian gives it some replay-ability i suppose.

So overall, Sonic: Rush is some classic Sonic the Hedge Hog gameplay. If you are a fan waiting for a decent sonic game to arise, heres your ticket. Or if your a DS owner in the market for a fast paced game this could also work for you.
