One screen's just not enough for Sonic the Hedgehog as he
rushes, races and dashes between both screens with dizzying
dives, near vertical curves, extreme jumps and brain-twisting
loops over 14 massive levels. Prepare for a whole new duel
screen experience, it's a real Sonic rush to the head...
Sonic
Rush will
be a welcome addition to any Sonic fans collection.
It captures the magic of the original Sega releases in a portable
capacity.
Those
that rushed out to buy the DS when it was launched are probably
feeling a bit cheated. On launch day there was a spattering
of interesting titles and then nothing. The market seemed
to dry up. Thank goodness Sonic Rush has been released
to add to, what in all honesty, is a rather poor selection
of original games.
The
gameplay will be familiar. Each world includes two platform
levels, followed by the Boss showdown. The platform levels
are split between the two screens of the DS, which makes for
interesting playing.
Performing
tricks will increase the level of your burst meter, which
can then be used to give you a temporary burst of speed. Also,
if you have a friend with a DS, you can have head to head
races throughout the levels. This is made even cooler by the
fact that you only need one copy of the game to access this
mode.
Sadly,
the developers haven't bothered to make the gameplay any different
depending on which character you are playing as. In previous
instalments, playing as Tails or Knuckles would offer a slightly
different level of gameplay. It doesn't really matter whether
you play as Sonic or the new Blaze character - you don't receive
any different movements or powers.
At
the end of the day though, this is an incredibly entertaining
title for the DS, and certainly one that Sonic fans
will cherish.
