Sonic Rush DS Preview
source: nintendoinsider
The Sonic Advance titles on Game Boy Advance were personally some of my favorite titles on the system. I’ve always loved Sonic, but honestly the 3D games just weren’t cutting it. Luckily, SEGA isn’t dropping the classic Sonic games, and Sonic Rush feels just like the Sonic titles you grew up with – only with that special DS twist. So what exactly does SEGA have planned this time around?
Game Features
– Fully utilizes Dual Screens. Long steep dives, super high jumps, huge loops and more look spectacular on the Nintendo DS.
– Sonic pairs up with a new female lead. Play as either Sonic the Hedgehog or Blaze the Cat – a queen from a different world and protector of the ‘Sol Emeralds’.
– Parallel universes collide. Journey with Sonic and Blaze on two separate adventures that intertwine. The storylines and outcomes will differ, keeping you in suspense while doubling up on the fun!
– Stylus support allows for a truly innovative control scheme on selected gameplay modes.
…
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). Since the demo in May was very short, there are still many unknown variables, but we should find out more as the game nears its fall 2005 release.
