this game was tough for an adult to even figure out. I even tried to look up how to do the simple gameplay online and we couldn't get past the training level. Bottom line, my son and I tried it one time and have never played it again.

I tried it and didn't like it either; tried to return it right away and was told I couldn't because it was already opened....Waste of money on this one.
Perhaps a younger child might like it...not sure.

Growing up playing Sonic, I am not sure what this new version is, but I was not a fan of it. I took too much to just play the game.

Well basically I thought this was a fun game. It might jsut be because I'm a Sonic fanatic but I don't know. I tought this was a very good Wii game but the controls were a little strange and the story was pretty stupid. I mean, Sonic enters a book? Well, whatever, thats not important. The stages were fun and the speed was pretty good, but it could have been better.

I have to start by saying that I've never played a Sonic game before so I don't know if it's good or bad compared to other games in the series. The adventure mode was fun, and could be challenging at times. The story wasn't the best, but I've seen worse. I have to admit my favorite part is the party mode. I do have Mario Party 8, which is a better game, it's true, but these mini games are still fun to play for a change. The fact that the directions can be unclear is annoying, but it can be fun to see people begin to figure them out as they go along. Overall a fun game a great deal for price.

Originally looking for a new game to play, I was pleasantly surprised to come across none other than sonic the hedgehog. It's an excellent game that keeps my attention for hours on end. The controls may be a little hard to master at first, but in almost no time at all, you'll be playing along with the best of them

A Bit of a Disappointment.

Let me first point out that I am a huge fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, and I have been since his days on the Sega Genesis. I loved the Sonic Adventure, and Sonic Heroes games, and even the one for XBox 360 and PS3. I'm sorry to say that Sonic and the Secret Rings just didn't work for me. I did like the innovative control scheme: that is, instead of using buttons to move Sonic, you simply steer him with the Wii Remote and make him jump and do stunts as he runs on his own. The story was just too bland for my liking, not enough substance to it. I was very disappointed at the fact that the majority of the cutscenes were made to look like a storybook. Yes, that's what the plot was going for, but I just didn't like it. I had the game for about three months...two-and-a-half of which it spent collecting dust before I sold it back. To be honest, I don't even think I played past the 3rd or 4th level. I'd say pass on this one.

This game is really neat. I like how it becomes harder each level and it's very interactive. My teenage brother has been hooked on it since I bought it. The music in the background is the best, always keeping you motivated.

Could Have Been Better

Sonic and the Secret Rings is a good game in all but I think that i really could have been better. If you are a HUGE fan of all the Sonic games then you would probably like this game but if not i really wouldn't reccomend it. If you like fast moving racing games mixed in with a little bit of action then its possible that you would find this to be one of the best games you ever played, but I think it takes a specific taste in games to enjoy a game like this enough to purchase it.
