    5 Stars Sonic and the Secret Rings - Excellent 21/03/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Plenty of Levels and skills, with great music aswell!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not enough Attacks, and sometimes not responsive enough.

    The story revolves somewhat around the world of the Arabian Nights…Sonic is reading the book when a Genie named Sharah appears and asks Sonic to help her restore the world of the Arabian Nights, which is being erased by an evil Genie from Aladdin by the name of Erazor Djinn. Erazor sees Sonic and calls him a "rat" and commands him to collect the 7 World Rings…and puts a Fire like timer on his chest, and if it burns out and he doesn't have the 7 World Rings ready, he will perish along with the Arabian Nights. Sonic teams up with Shahra the Ring Genie to collect the 7 World Rings in time in ... more

    2 Stars This is a bad game! 27/10/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Some original party games

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Concentrates more on graphics and the "storybook" side of things

    As an avid Wii player and also a massive fan of Segas previous Sonic the Hedgehog games, I purchased this with high hopes. Although very action packed, with plenty of different games, I felt very disappointed. The whole game has a Middle Eastern theme and there are two ways in which you can go about playing: Challenges: 100 high velocity missions set in stunning fantastical locations. Play with friends: 40 party games for up to 4 players The Challenge Mode is slighty disappointing to me and I could not continue to play after the first 5 minutes. There is a very, very long story book played ... more

    4 Stars Sonic and the Secret Rings 07/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots of levels, addictive, hours of fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Takes a while to get used to the controls

    This was one of the games that was included in the package I got when I bought my Wii and I must say I am impressed. I found it difficult at first to get used to the movement of the Wii controller as I hadn't used one before but didn't take too long until I was flying along. After buying Sonic on the Xbox 360 not so long before this I was a bit worried that it would be as bad but I was pleasantly surprised. It's such an addictive game and really uses the movements of the controller brilliantly. You play as Sonic working your way through 100 missions that are all set in different locations ... more

    5 Stars Sonic back how it should be 13/08/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great controls and easy to play

    Disadvantages Disadvantages nothing i can think of

    The Review 1.Story - The story in this game starts out with sonic being visited by a good genie from within the book arabian nights. She comes to get sonic to help her stop the evil genie called Erazor Jinn, who is trying to rule over arabian nights. Sonic agrees to help her but what lies for them ahead?? 2. Gameplay and Controls - The gameplay is much like the old sonics where you run through the levels to the finish line, but instead of side scrolling it is front ways in full 3-D. In this game you take control of sonic using only the wii remote only, you do this by tilting the remote side to ... more

    Advantages Advantages great multiplayer functions

The games on this are different than others because they are in bundles or you can pick one to play out of the libray you play either against your friend or against the computer .Its really up to you I enjoy this game because you never know what mini game you will get next.

    3 Stars sonic is back 21/04/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great price for a good game

    Disadvantages Disadvantages repetitive

    This is a great sonic game, i am not sure why i am shocked as every game that has sonic in tends to be a great game. Sonic and the Secret Rings, this is sonic's first solo adventure since the sega megadrive and we have all missed him. Sonic finds himself in the colorful and vibrant world of the Arabian Nights he goes thhrough a 3D world which is brought to life with realistic water reflections, light bloom, and lifelike physics. Sonic and the Secret Rings makes great use if the Wii remote, the graphics are not bad either. It is like most sonic games where you can only run in one direction but ... more

    5 Stars Sonic for the soul 13/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great gameplay

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    For those with a thing for Sonic this is the one. Coupled with the gameplay that the Wii affords this game really does capture the 'Sonic' experience. Ok , down to the basics , the control is pretty much as you'd expect, With the controller held in both hands like a steering wheel, you move about by leaning left and right to steer the little blue hedgehog. You have all the other classic Sonic movements by pressing various buttons, eg press 2, this will make Sonic jump.. The gameplay takes you from a tutorial world and through 7 main worlds. As each mission is completed you unlock new worlds ... more

    3 Stars Quick review of Sonic and the Secret Rings (Wii) by gbroom 31/05/2007
    Advantages - Great graphics, fast play action, typical sonic! Disadvantages - I got stuck on one level not being able to get Sonic to jump over a big gap. If you have no patience this game is not for you! I loved the game but got stuck on one level not being able to jump a big gap and lost my patience and gave up. Other than this I really enjoyed the game.

    3 Stars Sonic and the Secret Rings 06/01/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Great graphics and fun multi-player mode

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Mainly about speed and agility, not as good as previous Sonic games

    I was really disappointed with this game. Having been a big fan of Sonic right from the Megadrive, I expected great things on the Wii, but unlike previous games, the Secret Rings is based mainly on speed and manoeuvrability. A lot of the levels simply require you to get through them as fast as you can, and it's lost a lot of the exploration and puzzle-solving element that previous Sonic games had. There is also no linear story, and once you have completed a challenge there are several different areas you can go to, which is not something that I personally like in a game. Having said that, the ... more
