This game brings back all the great memories of the old sonic games. Speedy Sonic now teams up with a fiery cat named Blaze. The Tension Guage makes it even speedier. Awesome graphics and cool word selections(Blaze doesnt trust ANYONE!) Now, to Shawn Watson "God of Gods", I beat both the final boss AND the last special stage. I didn't know about the 'pause trick' until now, so I did it regularly. All you need is PERSEVERANCE! Sonic and Blaze then become Super Sonic and Hyper Blaze. I beat the 'extra zone' , which is really hard, but your effort is somewhat rewarded when you see the movie of Blaze leaving. The only problem is that it's a little short, but not as short as other Sonic games.

Great diversion

Get this game because it's in total 3D! Unlockable Super sonic, a new character blaze! This game is so raw, you can do trick moves, grind on rails, do rush mode, and run from screen to screen! If you love fast pace games this is the one game you need. Much faster than sonic advance 3, gotta get dis.

Back to the original formula...sort of.

Finally, a portable Sonic game that actually feels like the older Genesis games..

Everything about this game is great except for the one minor flaw.. It seems like sometimes there are holes in spots where you have to memorize that part of the level in order to know exactly how to get past it, the only reason this is bad is because Sonic is about speed, and slowing down and analyzing a part really breaks up the action..

The movement switches from top to bottom screen seamlessly (which was another thing I was worried about) and you'll never lose track of the action.

Sound is fine, sound isn't annoying, but it doesn't stand out either.

Controls are just as easy as ever.

WHY DO YOU GUYS HATE THIS GAME!?!?

this game rocks! so fast so hard! and that super speed thing is great! sega has been on a losing streak (and they still are but not with this game!) fast and fun! replay value isn't so high i only pick it up to play a few select levels from time to time

but don't worry guys, Sonic Rush Adventure (Sonic Rush 2) some pirate themed story story will suck like they always do but sonic adventure stories rocked!! i want sonic adventure 3 same game engine and all! ARGH! miss those games!

Great game for the money. Son just loves it and has made a great addition to his already numerous Sonic games for Game Cube

A very fun Sonic title

This is my first game for my NDS, and I am very impressed with everything. Graphics are bright and detailed, and the music is incredibly upbeat and catchy! I would love to own the soundtrack! As far as difficulty goes, it is not as difficult as Sonic games for other systems, especially the bosses. However, just because it is not as hard does not mean that it's not as fun! Also, this is the first game where I've been able to play as Blaze the Cat. While she is not as fast, it's still fun to play as her. I think the music is a different version when she plays too (Blazzy mix?). I recommend this game to those looking for some good portable Sonic fun!

Fast and nothing else

You do not do anithing,it moves fast without you pushing but one button. when you do interact it is very repetitive.
I did not like it at all.

For every good Sonic game that comes out now, there's about 4 or 5 bad ones. Sonic Rush is one of the good ones, although it has its shortcomings.
The basic gameplay is classic Sonic: extremely fast side-scrolling in a 2D environment. The level designs are creative and very colorful. There are other gameplay elements that work well too. The boss battles are a new, refreshing experience and are fun. However, both the side-scrolling and boss battles can get very repetitive. The game also utilizes the touch screen of the DS with the chaos emerald bonus challenges. For the most part it works well, but it seems that the developers just through it in the game to add a touch screen aspect.
Irritating aspects of the game include the music and certain enemy placement. You'll be flying through a level, snagging rings, when BAM! An enemy will appear in your path and you'll have less than a split second to react. This breaks up the pace of certain levels and only acts as an annoyance.
The ability to play as Blaze the Cat adds length and replay value to the game. However, it fails to offer any new features because Blaze's levels are the same as Sonic's.
Despite its flaws, Sonic Rush is a decent game and a very good Sonic game. It is a definite hit in a long streak of misses in the Sonic franchise.

A straight forward Sonic game that returns to its roots.

Sonic has strayed from his 2D lineage in recent years to try and compete with the likes of Mario and Ratchet and Clank in the 3D realm of platforming. With the exception of the adventure series, his attempts have been futile. Now, I had been hearing that the hand-held Sonic games were still solid additions to the series, so when I saw this game sued, I decided I'd give it a try.

The graphics here are essentially the traditional 2D look with some tweaks. First of all the characters themselves are 3D models, while the background, along with the game-play itself, is still largely 2D. This provides a unique look to the game, that I personally like. It's sort of like bringing the old Sonic games into the new age of gaming. The backgrounds are all well done and very colorful, in the usual Sonic fashion. Everything is pretty traditional, with some 3D effects added.

The soundtrack is pretty typical for a Sonic game. Not bad, but not amazing either. Fast paced rock with bad lyrics and some techno. I just turned off the music and listened to my ipod while playing.

The game-play is classic Sonic game-play for the most part. Very fast with solid level design and power ups. Although sometimes I just can't shake the feelings that I'm just pressing forward and occasionally jumping so I don't fall into a pit. This is especially the case when you pick up enough speed to just run straight through your enemies. They did add in a few novelties here and there like swinging on a chain to reach an otherwise unattainable place. However, this has all been done before, and you really don't come across things like that very often in the game. You can also play as Blaze for aome more game-play value. The boss fights are in 3D to mix up the game-play a bit, and it actually works quite well. Why they can't accomplish this in the console attempts of a 3D Sonic is beyond me.

If you're a Sonic fan you should check this game out. If you're just into platformers, you'll probably enjoy this as well. This is essentially what the console Sonic games should be.
