Sonic and the Secret Rings
Not as good as other Sonic games but equally charming because it sets Sonic on a Arabian Knight environment as well other children tales. The game itself is really interesting as it departs from the main franchise because it’s set on a different time line and it explores different characters dynamics as much of the bad guys (or better say Eggman) is now one of the good guys and other good guys play different roles in the game, roles based on the Arabian Nights such Tails being Ali Baba or Knuckles being Sinbad. The graphics are really cool, and the soundtrack as many other Sonic games is really nice, a mix between rock and roll and speed. The gameplay in theory is cool, but when I say in theory is because the controls are a nightmare, probably the worst controls in a game, not even E.T. or Silver Surfer have controls this bad, when you are playing sometimes the control don’t react the way you expect because you have to handle the remote control in a different fashion as it were a classic controller (play this game with a Wii classic control is more easy) the replay value probably is more based on the desire of achieving a better score rather than the fact of playing the game because is good. The overall score I give to this game is 7 over 10, sure is original but at the same time because of the lack of development it can be annoying.If you want to buy the game I recommend it because the last it was only on 20.00 Dollars.
