A great Sonic game with beautiful graphics and many other great aspects.
Story:
The story is about Sonic who somehow finds a giant ring on his coffee table after he awakes from his nap. A genie named Shara comes out and says that her world of the Arabian Nights is being destroyed by the evil Erazor Djinn.
Gameplay:
The game takes another new direction in the Sonic series by making this game on rails. There are many different missions to do, but the ones I liked most were the ones where you just head to the goal. But there are other missions like collecting a certain number of rings or racing a pixie named Uhu.
Controls:
To make Sonic move left or right, tilt the Wii remote in the according direction. To do a quick jump tap 2 and to do a higher jump hold 2 and release to jump. Hold the 1 button to brake. When in the air, jut the Wiimote forward to do a homing attack on an enemy.
Sound: Music Wise:
As per any Sonic game, the soundtrack is superb. I even have the main theme on my MP3 player.
Sound: Effect Wise:
There are realistic footstep sounds, classic ring sound effects, and realistic water sounds.
Sound: Voice Wise:
The 4kids voice actors return again. I never thought that they were that bad, and only Sonic has any voice problems in this game. He sometime sounds very wimpy.
Graphics:
The cutscenes are done with illustrations and look okay, but the in game graphics really push the Wii. The game is beautiful, the water looks very real. Only one problem: Sonic looks a bit blocky.
Overall:
This is a great game with good controls, great graphics, and fun gameplay.
The game will take you about 15 hours to beat and it also has replayability in the form of getting better ranks, new missions, and getting all of the fire souls in each level to unlock extras. Go ahead and give it a buy.
