  Sonic the Hedgehog for Xbox 360 Review - Xbox 360 Sonic the Hedgehog Review
Sonic the Hedgehog may share its name with the Genesis original, but this game is even more broken than most of the other recent Sonic games have been.
Sonic's fall from grace has been slow, starting with a promising first stab at 3D with Sonic Adventure, but it's all been downhill since those far-gone days, and games like this new Sonic the Hedgehog are the culprit.
Sonic is meant to be the fast-moving one, and he mainly attacks via a homing jump attack that makes most basic fights as simple as timing presses of the A button to bounce from foe to foe.

Sonic the Hedgehog isn’t a remake as the title may stupidly suggest, instead it’s a brand new game to mark the birthday celebrations of the iconic gaming star.
Sonic is never alone these days therefore he’s joined by the returning Shadow the Hedgehog, and Silver, a brand new face, who just so happens to be one of the highlights of the game.
Sonic himself is as one would expect, whilst Shadow can jump in and out of vehicles, but is without the guns from his much maligned solo adventure.

While Sonic 2 takes what the original Sonic the Hedgehog had, super fast speed, tricky traps, and killer robots and improves on them a little bit.
If he collects 50 rings and seven chaos emeralds all he has to do is a double jump he turns gold and not only goes faster but he's invincible to and has long has he has rings he can stay that way to.
Tail can also collect rings to which is helpful but usually after he collects his rings he goes ahead and smashes himself into a bomb causing him to loose his ring and distract you to.

 Xbox 360 - The Official Magazine - Sonic the Hedgehog
New for this latest Sonic game is the ability to run along walls - at several points during this level, gentle curves let a full-speed Sonic run at a wall and leg it, sideways, through the rest of the level.
If you have been a Sonic fan for the past decade and a half, you'll also recognise plenty of sound effects from the game's history too, as the makers try to cram is as much old stuff and references to past Sonic games as they can to help celebrate its 15th anniversary.

Released at the same time as the ill-fated Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Rush was Sonic's first entry onto the Nintendo DS platform.
Sonic himself is 3-d and the stages incorporate many 3-d elements while throwing in tons of little effects like leaves, clouds and so on.
The stages are set up like the Sonic 2 ones, complete with the classic bombs and rings, but include other gimmicks such as enemies and areas where you will have to quickly tap a sequence of numbers to receive rings.

Sure, Sonic had many start over deaths, but the fact that there were shields and rings Rings are much easier to get back if you lose them, and since it's quite easy to get them after they fall out of Sonic, made the game a lot less annoying.
SOnic may not be as revolutionary as Mario (or the fact that new Sonic games get 3,4,5 scores, while Mario still goes strong), but I could see a discussion on which game had a better design.

 Sonic and the Secret Rings Nintendo Wii Video Game Review by AceGamez
Sonic and the Secret Rings on the Wii is as closer to the side scrolling 2D Sonic games of yore than ever before.
Instead of the usual Dr Eggman fracas, Sonic is visited by a genie in his sleep and warned of an impending danger from the evil genie called Erazor, who is destroying the book of Arabian Nights so that he may escape into the real world to continue his rampage of destruction.
Sonic is therefore charged with travelling throughout the seven fantasy worlds of Arabian Nights to collect the secret rings that can put an end to Erazor's tyranny and bring the land of Arabian Nights back to peace.

 Sonic the Hedgehog - Kotaku
Despite my misguided and wishful thinking that Sonic Rush Adventure would introduce new gameplay mechanics or shift to the newest generation of consoles, the game is indeed a relatively straight sequel to the Dimps developed 2D platformer, featuring speedy, Genesis-era sidescrolling action with 3D boss battles.
We already know that Sonic the Hedgehog creator Yuji Naka won't be on board for the next version of Sega's NiGHTS, but the famed developer now says he doesn't want to work on sequels or ports at all.
Not only do owners of Sonic the Hedgehog have to suffer through bad gameplay, poor camera angles and lousy design decisions, but they also must endure painful loading, the kind that hurts in waves like a series of soft flicks to the family chaos emeralds.

It was one of the best rated Sonic games of the past five years, performing just as well critically as Sonic's first forays into 3D gaming, Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2.
Maybe Sonic Rush Adventure is a totally new title, distinct enough from its DS ancestor to warrant new branding.

Sonic has its moments, but repeatedly the carpet is pulled from underneath the player's feet thanks to some erratic camera work or some sloppy level design — stepping on a speed pad only to be sent straight into an enemy is an exasperatingly common occurrence.
It seems as though Sonic Team are aware of the number of cheap deaths their laziness has been responsible for over the years, because when the player takes damage in Sonic 360 only a small amount of rings are dropped rather than the full load.
Despite the fact that Sonic, Shadow and Silver are the only three characters selectable, it should come as no surprise to hear that the rest of the series' hangers-on manage to get a look in.
