Sonic Rush is a simple yet addictively fun game with challenging bosses and great play again value

User Rating: 9 | Sonic Rush DS
1. Sonic Rush's story line is simple and is split into two halves that the gamer plays. On one side sonic is trying to stop alternate Eggman who is referred to as Eggman nega. On the other side a new character named Blaze is taken from her world and thrown into Sonic's world by Eggman. A gamer plays as both Sonic and Blaze as they play through level based stages and destroying bosses.
2. The levels of Sonic Rush are the basic side scrolling fast paced levels seen in many classic Sonics. Each level has a certain time limit that counts down and the gamer must complete the level before the timer stops. The levels are well thought and are just as fun to play through again and again. Although the levels are simple the designers add in plenty of bonuses to keep you on your toes, such as jumps, rockets, hang gliders, bomb balloons, and even shifts in gravity! The bosses are very challenging and most players will have trouble with them. Even though the bosses are designed to be beaten in a certain way most can be beaten in other ways, and I will let you find out how on yourself.
3. How a player stays alive is by collecting rings which are scattered throughout all the levels, but be careful because any damage you take will scatter most of your rings and if not collected quickly will disappear. If a player runs out of rings and takes damage he has to restart either from a checkpoint or the beginning of the level depending on how far they have run in a level.
4. The multiplayer option is great! Two players can go head to head on any level in a race to the finish. One player is Sonic and one Blaze, although blaze is slower she is more powerful and can jump higher which allows her to reach shortcuts that sonic can't. The only real problem with the multiplayer option is that occasionally it will be slowed down or even completely stopped on some levels.
5. Over all Sonic is a fun game that will be enjoyed by most gamers.
