Rating: - Sonic's speed fails to impress
One day, long ago, in a world of 16 bit wonder, Sonic meant fun, blistering speed. Now it just seems to mean big fat money signs for the publisher (which unfortunately doesn't benefit us gamers). It comes with the prerequisite party games in addition to the single player and training mode.
The multiplayer games were actually decent, but hard to justify purchase when the main game is so frustrating. The real problems start with the training mode. Through poor design, the object of each training level is given briefly, leading to unnecessary fumbling to figure out what should be extremely simple. To make matters worse, there is even a training level that can not be completed. I know, because out of sheer stupid determination, I tried again and again and again. Whatever it was that needed to be accomplished was lost on me. Giving up on the training mode, I jumped heartily into the game, discovering that this game ran on a rail. A very narrow one at that. Unfortunately for looks, the designers opted to make it look like there was no rail that you were confined to so there are countless times that you will veer one way or the other to avoid the enemy only to find that you are shoved right back into the way of the baddy to lose all of your hard earned rings. Then you must build up speed again which in the 2D version of Sonic was not nearly as aggravating as it is in this version. Which means one of the main allures of Sonic is lost, as you are constantly tripped up by baddies and forced to regain your speed and rings at a maddingly slow pace.
I put up with all of this, but I think I lost it when I found out that you have to replay a level over and over with different missions before you can advance to another level, without any real explanation as to what needs to be done. Meaning the little feeling of triumph you had at finishing the level melts as you realize you will have to do it again, and again and again.

secret rings is a nice wii game. the controls aren't the best but they're at least reliable 90% of the time you use the. the games fun, but it's story structure is not the best out there because they're using still frames to represent a book style theme. the voice acting is defenatly not one of sonic's best. in the adventure mode, you unlock ablilities to help sonic. you can also unlock up to 40 mini games, though they're mostly boring but some are ok. at least sega thinking outside the normal stuff. this is an good sonic game, but it defenatly needs some work. rent it first.

This game is horrid. The controls are unresoonsive. The story plain sucks. Sonic turned weird (He says "hell" to make him "cool.") Eggman isn't the enemy, and the party games are unresponsive back. Buy Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for Gamecube instead. It's way more fun.
Rating: - I think it's fun
I'm not a gamer at all so the help that this game gives me is much appreciated. Like I don't have to run and get every single ring because it will let me finish the level anyway, and it kind of steers me in the right direction so I get all that I need. Maybe it's best for people like me who have only ever owned an Atari (in 1983 when I was 4) and now a Wii (or for people who are younger than 5). :) I like it. I play it pretty often and pat myself on the back when I get through a tough level.

Wasn't what I expected, but its still an Okay game.
If your a big sonic fan, this is a must have, but other wise, you'll enjoy interacting with the Wii remote.
