The latest issue of the English Official Nintendo Magazine just hit stores and it contains a review of Sonic and the Secret Rings. The verdict? 8.1 out of 10, AA! SOURCE Chris from ONM also took some time to write up responses to questions ONM Forumgoers wrote up. You can find that HERE. Example of a question: [QUOTE="Chris ONM"]

It's good.
That's the UK version of the magazine. Also last time I checked and heard their reviews are a bit weird compared with many others. Curious as to what the US version of Ninendo Power will say.
Most were claiming AAA just a few days ago by a previous review.rexoverbey
They were reporting a review by the TV show Game On, which gave it a 9.2. That's where the AAA came from. I've seen one person, maybe two, hype this game AAA.
I just can't stand to look at Sonic anymore, after the horrible treatment he's received from Sonic Team in the last, oh... 6 years. They're so full of crap - they hyped the 360/PS3 Sonic as taking the series back to its roots...then there's a driving sequence with Shadow.
WTF.
I agree with IGN. It's time to just let Sonic go.Â

Good thing this game isn't being done by Sonic Team then.

It's good.
That's great, except Adventure was a fantastic game - and judging by the early reviews of the Wii Sonic it won't come anywhere close to comparing to Adventure.
[QUOTE="Kayrod29"]It's a Nintnendo magazine .... :roll:Wow, that must mean it's biased right? If you knew anything about that magazine you'd know it's far from a fanboy rag, it's very fair and balanced in it's reviews.

Another question from the FAQ.
Would you say it's the best 3D Sonic game so far?Forumite
I'd say that although they're slightly different games, it's up there with the first Sonic Adventure.Chris ONM

Oh, that's a good sign then I guess.
I just found it was odd that it sounded like, in the original quote, he was implying that Adventure wasn't good.

That is quite funny... with both of your quotes in there...
"What makes this 3D Sonic different from other 3D Sonics, such as Adventureand heros?"
Answer? "It is good"
Second quote "I'd say that although they're slightly differen games, it's up there with the first SonicAdventure"
Maybe I am the only one that can see these 2 quotes being flip flop...

Right. Nintendo Power does. This is Official Nintendo Magazine, the UK equivalent of NP. Ok, I assumed u meant NP since you said official english one..

[QUOTE="Kayrod29"]It's a Nintnendo magazine .... :roll: This argument holds absolutely no water. Nintendo Power CONSISTENTLY rates their own games lower than most websites - including IGN and Gamespot.
