Great game but new character seems wasted!

User Rating: 8.3 | Sonic Rush DS
Ok this game is pretty true to the originals with all the same spirit and sense of speed, only now there is the edition of extra moves used by spending rush points which you acumulate by doing aerial tricks, so this is all very true to sonics playful character. The mini game can be fun and at later parts extremely hard with nice use of the stylus especially on parts you have to hit all the numbers onscreen insequence... shame we didnt see more of this. The boss battles where something quite new as they where still a sidescroller only there where 3 dimensions, eg running round a ring shaped platform.

However the addition of a new playable character, Blaze seemed to me totally wasted. She had a little story behind her but she did exactly the same levels as sonic only in a different order which made the game seem a tad repetetive.

Despite this a nice fresh game, just what sonic team needed!
