It is about time our spiky blue friend made an appearance! Before you watch the video below, be assured that this game is well worth the quick read! This all new adventure is exclusively for the Wii, which is a fantastic reason to go out an pick one up! I rented the game to test it out and I am quite impressed by both the graphics and controls. Thanks to Karl, I was able to get this rental for a good price! Although I do still have it and it was due on Wednesday, doh!

The worlds are rich and very detailed- especially in HD! I couldn’t spot any pixelation through my gameplay experience as the frame rates must be high. I would definitely have to give the graphics a thumbs up, considering it is a Sonic game!

The controls are so interactive that it brings the gameplay of Sonic to a whole new level. Sonic is constantly moving forward throughout the game, so it is up to you to navigate him. Simply tilt the Wii remote to the left or right which will move him left or right. If you want to attack, then lock onto an enemy and nudge the remote forward! It’s quite remarkable.

A neat addition to this game is that you can add skills to Sonic as he learns them throughout the game. You collect experience points which increases your character’s level which can open up new skills and hidden secrets in the game. It is very Adventure-RPGish.

I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a Sonic game like this since the original Genesis series. I would definitely go out and buy this one- hopefully a birthday gift or something!
