 Sonic Rush (ds: 2005): Reviews
Sonic Rush is not only a great Sonic game that takes you back and shows you what made him great, and it's not just a great evolution for the series either - it's simply a great DS game that will last you a good while.
Sonic Rush is still a little too out there for me to appreciate as fully as the classic games on the Sega Genesis, but it is a big, big step in the right direction, with improved gameplay mechanics and greatly improved level design.
Sonic Rush certainly isn't revolutionary, and it only barely makes use of the touchscreen, but it is a decent distillation of what's kept a sprite-based Sonic alive in the age of textured polygons, as long as you're fine with more of the same.

 Sonic Rush review DS- VGPub -
Sonic Rush, on the other hand is the breath of fresh air the series has desperately needed.
The way it has Sonic moving back and forth from top to bottom feels just as natural as if I was playing with one screen; it makes you wish every DS game could do this.
Rush even borrows from its three dimensional cousins with a homing attack, alphabetical grading system and character models (a 3D Sonic on a 2D background).

Apparently, Sonic the Hedgehog and Blaze the Cat will go on separate adventures with separate storylines that eventually intertwine, meaning SEGA isn’t simply throwing multiple characters into the same adventure with minimal differences.
At one second, Sonic may be zipping along on the bottom screen, but with a quick loop and a boost he may be up at the top screen, knocking out baddies new and old.
We’re glad to see Sonic back, and while the more 3D approach at E3 2004 was intriguing, Sonic Rush at E3 2005 drew a lot of oohs and aahs for its solid gameplay (especially the very fast speed) and gameplay innovations (the gameplay occurring on both screens could turn out to be very interesting).

 Kikizo Games: Nintendo DS Review: Sonic Rush
Developed by Sonic Team in cooperation with Dimps, Sonic Rush features the same type of high-speed platforming hijinks as its side-scrolling predecessors, but this time harnesses the unique power of the DS to display the action on both screens, while implementing a little touch screen functionality.
Sonic's around to simply thwart Dr. Eggman's nefarious schemes at every turn; Blaze on the other hand must reclaim all of the Sol emeralds in order to save her world.
Sonic Rush is wonderful addition to the Sonic universe, and one of the best entries in the longstanding series.

 IGN: Sonic Rush Review
And once again the handheld gamer is getting a real treat: the Nintendo DS Sonic design, Sonic Rush, takes that 2D experience and blasts it onto the dual-screen handheld in what could be considered Sonic's finest hour.
But because the action moves so quickly (a Sonic the Hedgehog staple), this technique is much more impressive on Sonic Rush because the developers had to create a "smart camera" to make sure that Sonic is in the best spot on either screen to see what's coming up ahead.
Sonic games have always been unfair in the sense that level designers encourage running through a level as fast as possible, only to be absolutely devious by throwing an enemy in the person's path so suddenly that there's no humanly way to react in time.

 Kikizo Games: News: Sonic Rush: Hands-On
Sonic Rush plays a lot like the 2D Sonic games of old, which is most definitely a good thing.
Sonic is also equipped with some sort of charging attack move where he rushes at full force in any number of directions and can smash through enemies, as well as use the momentum to propel himself up to areas that his more restricted single jumping style can't get him to.
When Sonic Rush graces the DS in a few short months, players will be able to play as either Sonic or Blaze the Cat, a royal figure from another dimension who teams up with Sonic in order to save the universe from - you guessed it - total destruction.

Maakt mij op zich niet zoveel uit op welke console 'Sonic Rush' uitkomt als het maar trouw is aan de 2d-games uit de 16-bit periode.
Mocht 'Sonic Rush' toch weten de mogelijkheden van de NDS weten te gebruiken; er in iedergeval meer uit halen dan de tech-demo, dan petje af voor Sega.
Nogmaals, ik hoop dat Sonic gewoon/alleen in zijn eigen spellen blijft en hoop ook dat Sega opnieuw klassiekers zoals in de 16-bit periode kan maken...

Sonic himself is a 3D model, a pretty good one that moves wonderfully on the screen and makes for some nice effects on levels as he sometimes is thrown closer to the screen due to cranes, elevators, and slides that push forward in a wonderful melding of 2D and 3D.
You can play as Sonic or new character Blaze the Cat as you take on Dr. Robotnik (he's refered to as Eggman more and more these days, but he'll always be Dr. Robotnik to me), but there's not much difference between the two heroes, which you'll notice as you progress through the game.
This being a sonic game, and a 3d side scroller at that, you want to move fast, and since pressing X (I think) boosts you, I try to do that all the time, but oh no, theres another gap I overshot and half to try the level over again because of falling 200,000 feet.

Sonic just doesn't move as fast and doesn't control as well as he does when he's blazing through the 2D worlds that populate his games.
This hurts the overall gameplay aspect of Sonic Rush, but the fact that this is a new Sonic game in all his classic 2-D glory more than makes up for it.
I bought sonic rush about a month and a half ago and still have yet to beat the 3rd level.
