Fun at first, but trust me, its frustrating controls get to you.

When you first buy this game, your most likely gonna say to yourself "Wow, this game is great, why does everyone hate it so much?" You'll say that now, but play it for a little while longer before you be quick on judgment. The Graphics are very good for a Wii title and it had a great idea, the problem is, the controls do not work with you when you need them to, at times they seem automatic, and most of the time to forceful, it gets anoying after awhile. The music, while can be good if you like heavy rock, just didn't suit this title. Another problem was the way the story/theme took on approach for a Sonic title. Sure its creative, but its pretty lackluster and doesn't fit for a game like this. Overall, this game is pretty terrible, I dont recommend buying it but maybe a 5 day rental wont kill you.

Should not have an E rating

We didn't even get past the opening part. My son is a HUGE fan of sonic. (We have an old genesis system) It was too dark and grim to have an E rating. He loves the Sonic leapster game he received for Christmas but we are very disappointed with the Wii Secret Rings game.

I think it's fun

I'm not a gamer at all so the help that this game gives me is much appreciated. Like I don't have to run and get every single ring because it will let me finish the level anyway, and it kind of steers me in the right direction so I get all that I need. Maybe it's best for people like me who have only ever owned an Atari (in 1983 when I was 4) and now a Wii (or for people who are younger than 5). :) I like it. I play it pretty often and pat myself on the back when I get through a tough level.

Sonic More Like The Originals

This Sonic game is more like the originals than the last few. Mainly because the plot line is so weak that it has no choice but to offer a bit more nostalgia than the last few games. Decent game for the pre-teen age gamer. Has a minor (seems like last minute) multi-player section too.

fun!

most critics and i agree this is a good sonic game. i had rented this game a while back at blockbuster (loathe hate blockbuster) and without knowing I was supposed to hold the wiimote sideways like a race car (due to blockbusters lack of instruction booklets) i didn't know that. I got nowhere in the game and returned. Anyway after learning to hold the wiimote sideways i got the game and have been enjoying it since. My only qualms is that I wish the layout was slightly different on the menu, and that the cutscenes were so boring. OH AND I HATE THE VOICE OF SONIC JASON GRIFFITHS IS NOT SONIC. A great review is by this guy spax3 on youtube. You should watch it (it's not me or anything)

I love Sonic. It's good to see him back. It is still just as exciting as when he first came out.

Wasn't what I expected, but its still an Okay game.
If your a big sonic fan, this is a must have, but other wise, you'll enjoy interacting with the Wii remote.

Not a DESERVING Sonic Title

This game is horrid. The controls are unresoonsive. The story plain sucks. Sonic turned weird (He says "hell" to make him "cool.") Eggman isn't the enemy, and the party games are unresponsive back. Buy Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for Gamecube instead. It's way more fun.

he's getting there

secret rings is a nice wii game. the controls aren't the best but they're at least reliable 90% of the time you use the. the games fun, but it's story structure is not the best out there because they're using still frames to represent a book style theme. the voice acting is defenatly not one of sonic's best. in the adventure mode, you unlock ablilities to help sonic. you can also unlock up to 40 mini games, though they're mostly boring but some are ok. at least sega thinking outside the normal stuff. this is an good sonic game, but it defenatly needs some work. rent it first.

Sonic's speed fails to impress

One day, long ago, in a world of 16 bit wonder, Sonic meant fun, blistering speed. Now it just seems to mean big fat money signs for the publisher (which unfortunately doesn't benefit us gamers). It comes with the prerequisite party games in addition to the single player and training mode.

The multiplayer games were actually decent, but hard to justify purchase when the main game is so frustrating. The real problems start with the training mode. Through poor design, the object of each training level is given briefly, leading to unnecessary fumbling to figure out what should be extremely simple. To make matters worse, there is even a training level that can not be completed. I know, because out of sheer stupid determination, I tried again and again and again. Whatever it was that needed to be accomplished was lost on me. Giving up on the training mode, I jumped heartily into the game, discovering that this game ran on a rail. A very narrow one at that. Unfortunately for looks, the designers opted to make it look like there was no rail that you were confined to so there are countless times that you will veer one way or the other to avoid the enemy only to find that you are shoved right back into the way of the baddy to lose all of your hard earned rings. Then you must build up speed again which in the 2D version of Sonic was not nearly as aggravating as it is in this version. Which means one of the main allures of Sonic is lost, as you are constantly tripped up by baddies and forced to regain your speed and rings at a maddingly slow pace.

I put up with all of this, but I think I lost it when I found out that you have to replay a level over and over with different missions before you can advance to another level, without any real explanation as to what needs to be done. Meaning the little feeling of triumph you had at finishing the level melts as you realize you will have to do it again, and again and again.
