A great combination of speed and platforming.

This game is just awesome. You all know the story, so I'll just get to the gaming review. The daytime levels are simply amazing. while your speeding through the level, you will feel the game was worth every penny. Even though they get really frustrating when you try to get an S or beat someone's score, it all comes out really well. Also, the frame rate and the graphics are so high, its a wonder this came to the Wii. The controls feel natural, especially the homing attack, which you shake when the targeting aims at a robot. The change from 2-D to 3-D view is also really great, it happens at great times, and it gives the game a cinematic view so you and others would just want to watch as you speed through the level.
In the nighttime levels, the not-so-fast werehog has a different way of playing; the beat-um-up way. You go through the levels and beat up all the fools who dare stand in your way (all of them, since you have to beat them to keep going).The nunchuk is your left hand, while the WiiMote is your right hand(sorry lefties), and the result is fantstic. SSBB veterans should quickly catch on, and the enemies are fun to beat up. My only complaint here is a very big one, and that is that even though the nighttime stages are extremely fun, the daytime stages are so fun that you just want to get through them to reach the next daytime level. Sega should have made a better reason to play the nighttime levels.
All in all, the game is awesome and highly addictive, and I think it is the right balance of speed and fists.
