Customer Review: Too Many Seeds....
Summary: 2 Stars
The only real thing that this game has going for it is that it looks wonderful. The artwork and lighthing are simply splendid.
Unfortnately, there's not much else to brag about here. Sonic the hedgehog is supposed to be a fast-paced title, and the control scheme loves to get in the way of what otherwise ought to be simple. For example, you often have to find yourselves tilting the remote to go backwards. Not only is this necessary way too often, but the sensitivity of the remote does not always pick up on your backwards motion. This creates, out of frustration, a skid-like effect.
To make matters worse, you earn power ups along the way, as you complete each mission. If you read the powerups closely enough, however, you realize all you are doing is earning good controls. Shouldn't I get those from the start of things?
This goes without saying for any next-gen sonic title, but the voice acting is just wretched. The song that plays at the end of each level makes you want to shove a railroad spike through your ears, and the music hits more than it misses. Arabic-themed music will clumsily plunge into 80ish rock sounds.
I really, really, realy wanted to like this game. But I can't.
You can pass this one up, EASILY.
Customer Review: Sonic at his Best
Summary: 4 Stars
Sonic has always had many bad runs. Sonic Adventure 1 had bad graphics and poor gameplay. Sonic adventure 2 was the same. Shadow the Hedgehog? Something about running around in a burning city shooting soldiers made me feel guilty playing it. ALL OF THESE GAMES HAD HORRIBLE CAMERA VIEWS! Sonic and the secret rings gives me a feeling of happiness and a burst of adrenaline when I play it. As hte first level (Sand Oasis) says, this game is an oasis of hope for the Sonic franchise. The stunning visuals and hair-raising speed make this game hopeful. The music is_as always corny, yet it goes well with the level. Don't give up on this game until you finish it. Some levels are boring, while others I just can't stop playing. The enemies are not human, but rather clorful genies that wear a costume according to which mood the level is set in (in "Pirate Storm") they wear silly pirate hats. Back to the only reason we care about sonic- SPEED. This game dishes out handfuls and handfuls of it. You have no IDEA until your sonic is a level 37, in which you obtain a "Super Speed-Up." Sonic goes too fast for the voiceovers to catch up, and the objects zip by so fast you swear you are sonic speeding through the land of the Arabian Knights. Customer Review: Kind of a bummer for me.....

I'll make this review short and sweet...
The game play is fun, overall. The controls in my opinion can be annoying and not always accurate. Making Sonic go backwards is a joke at best.
The game is good enough to pass some time with but I don't look forward to playing it when I get home the way I do other Wii games...like Excite Truck or Elebits.
