Sonic and the Secret Rings is one of the best games in the series. With blazing speeds, high jumps, and creative stages, it reinvents the series because of Sonics downfall games. Although the controls can be frustrating, it's graphics, speed, and stages are amazing and creative. Sonics design hasn't changed though. He is still blue with a little tail, two spikes on his back, and around seven spikes on his head. Also, you can level up to become stronger and get special moves that can help you throughout the stages. One special move is a splash jump in which Sonic jumps on a wall, the jumps again like a wall jump, only he goes up on it instead of away. Each special move has a type. there are three types. Wind which is for speed, fire which is for attack, and dark which affects the number of rings or pearls you have. Pearls are glowing balls which fill up your soul gauge. When you get to a certain part in the game, you get the soule gauge. The soul gauge allows Sonic to slow time, or speed him to amazing, blazing, totally wicked speeds. Time break slows down time while speed breack, wickedly speeds sonic up. When you get pearls, your soul gause builds up, and when your sould gauge gets to a certain point, you can use Time, or Speed Break, until it depletes. The story starts when Sonic, greatest and fastest hedgehog in the world, is taking his nap. Then, a genie comes out of the book of the Araibian Nights and wakes up Sonic. The genie tells Sonic how her world in the Arabian nights is bring destroyed by a genie named the Erazor Djinn, and that if he is not stopped, he will wreak havoc on the rel world. She takes Sonic- who is now the genies master-into the Arabian Nights, where he must get seven, amazingly powerful, world rings, and defeat the Erazor Djinn, before a flame in his chest, burns out, and he dies, along with the Arabian Nights. There are many missions, in which you have to do many things. Get a certain amount of rings, get to the finish in time, don't die even once, defeat a boss, or just go form the start to finish. You must finish a certain number of missions, before you can go to the next stage-or world. Or you have to finish a certain mission, in which you need your logic to figure out which one, and finish it. Although, there is a small cast of characters, and the only playable character in story mode is Sonic. Along with the story mode there is also a minigame mode-or party mode-in which you can play a large variaty if minigames. There are also four characters that you can unlock with fire souls from story mode. Fire souls are red circles, with a flame in them, that are hidden through many missions, and getting them will unlock special moves, characters, minigames, and lots of other stuff. There is also a stage in party mode, in when you unlock, you get rings from minigames. Then you go to the new stage and there are auctions for carpets. You place your bids with rings. Sonic and the Secret Rings has reinvented the Sonic series and is very cool. With two new special moves, and a party mode too. It has amazing graphics, with very creative stages and worlds. Along with lots of side stuff to do, and a very cool story, even though the controls can be frustrating, Sonic and the Secret rings is a really good addition to the Sonic series.
