Sonic Rush
::whimpers::
It does what it says on the tin.
It zooms by at an incredible speed – except when it locks you in a room and tells you to kill a certain number of enemies or when it inexplicably turns into Streets of Rage – and it’s on two screens and sometimes you stay on the same screen and some time you don’t and Sonic dances to the funky new music and does ‘rad’ tricks in mid-air and there are THREE buttons to worry about instead of one and and and and…
This is not your father’s Sonic.
Except, in other ways, it’s absolutely identical to every 2D Sonic game ever. Run left to right and straight into enemies and lose your rings and then kill the enemies and then miss the one annoying jump per level that makes you fall off the bottom and die and the voice of Tails is still extremely irritating and and and…
Well, it’s Sonic to the EXTREME and also to the MAX. Dudes.
I expect a new character called Poochie in the sequel.

When I lived in Texas I never went to a Sonic fast food restaurant. I was on my own in a new country and just didn’t know how they worked. I had the idea that you stayed in your car and they came to you, or maybe you used one of those drive-through intercom things

So, that level I was stuck on all yesterday evening? Yeah, I just did it this lunchtime. First time, too. (I lost a life or two, but I didn’t get the Game Over screen.) The trick with spikes seems to be just to wiggle gently. I’m still not entirely sure how it works. Then it

Oh yeah, this is what I’m talking about. So I was having a great time, rattling through the game. But then… then… then I got stuck. There’s a timed section in the third act of the water zone. It’s the first time the controls have let me down. You see, if you’re too slow at

I am not a Sonic fan. Sure, I’ve liked many of his games (especially the Master System version of the first game, but that’s probably some very rose-tinted specs in full effect) and I’ve definitely got something of a spot soft for the spiky wee fellow, but I haven’t had him tattooed on my arm

Excellent. All I really wanted from this was the nostalgic rush of playing the first level with the killer whale. As that’s the demo level, I don’t need to spend any money on the full game. Thanks Sega! I would like to play in the Chao Garden again, though. I have many fond memories of,

Another two or three races last night. I do love this game. I can see where the complaints come from, but they’re either about technical issues that we’ve been assured have been fixed for the full game or they’re about things that are features of the whole genre. It would be very interesting to see

It’s basically Sonic Kart, but with loads of Sega characters, from the iconic to the obscure, and a lovely drifting mechanic. The framerate is horrible. Not ModNation horrible, but very bad indeed. They’ve said it’s early code and fixed in the final release, though, and I trust them. I also think they probably should have

Except, not. It keeps telling me I’ve got the trial version, even though I bought it, and won’t let me play. Nor will it let me buy it again (not that I would) because I’ve already bought it. I deleted it and redownloaded it, but nothing helped. GAH!

I played this while the CoD4 Beta was downloading, but couldn’t get off the Green Hill Zone. First time I died before getting to the boss, in my second game the boss killed me. How rubbish am I? I mean, really.

Put another hour or so into this. It’s really quite good. It doesn’t flow as nicely as I’d like it to, but that says as much about my skills as the game itself. I’m at the stage now, though, where I’m not sure when I reach a hard challenge whether I’m being rubbish or whether

Puchi, surely?
