They converted the boost formula to 2D. Really interesting sonic game, pretty fun. My only complaint is there are a lot of insta-death traps. Even Sonic 1 new better than to have too many of these because they can get really frustrating. Otherwise, the game is a cool take on sonic, AMAZING soundtrack, chill vibes.

This is absolutely one of the better games for the DS, but there are quite a few that I would recommend before it (see my other reviews). This game uses both screens at the same time as if they were one, which few DS games do. This creates a visually spectacular game, however it can be difficult to follow the action. Sonic moves incredibly fast which is what makes him who he is, but in this game he moves so quickly its doesn't feel like you are controlling his movements as much as simply watching him blaze through the levels in a blur. The Boss levels are done in 3D which is a nice touch. Visually this is probably the best game for the DS and the gameplay is pretty good too. Overall the game is fairly short but fun. There's something for everybody with this game, however most people would problably really like this game rather than absolutely love it.Read full review
Well, I'm relatively new to the Sonic games and I must say that this game is pretty darn fun. I do know of the basic charachters: Sonic, Tails and the Eggman, all of whom are featured in this game. However I was a tad bit dissapointed that Knuckles was not inluded. In any case I should carry on to the gameplay. You've got a variety of level types to play through such as typical land, underwater, in space and more. Also as usual you play as Sonic the Hedgehog and run through the levels whilst dodging baddies and traps so that you can stop the Eggman's evil plots. The game utilises both of the screens of the NDS or NDSL, which makes the game challenging yet exciting. As you run, you may do something like running up a hill; at this point you would likely run from bottom to top screen. So you've got to keep focussed on the game so you dont lose your character in the ultra speedy lightning speed running blitz. Whew! All the loops, curves and corkscrews got me all twisted up. Now of course there is multiplayer as well, not just multiplayer, but single card multiplayer! The best kind. Hmm... mabye I should actually play that part so I can review it too...Read full review
Uses Sonic's boost gameplay and the levels are generally long and not easily memorized compared to Sonic Advance levels. It has a saving feature which is better than the earlier Game Gear games.

Sonic Rush is definitely a great game to pick up for DS owners who are fans of the classic style Sonic games. The game utilizes the graphic capabilities of the DS, but maintains the classic 2D style of gameplay. The ability to play as both Sonic and Blaze adds replay value, though I think it would have been better if Blaze's story was more different. The game also introduces full-3D boss battles that still use the 2D mechanics, with unique ways of damaging the bosses. Of course, all games have negatives. Between playing as Sonic and Blaze, you may be feeling a bit of Deja Vu; there's not much difference. Also, there's a lot of storyline to read through, and you can't just skip it with one button. And having the somewhat annoying voices of Tails and Cream coaching you through boss battles, I could have done without. Overall, if you're looking for a good throwback to the old-style Sonic games, this is one to pick up.Read full review
sonic rush is a great game... its a great balance of speed and just plain old fast reflex bending tests... considering your moving fast enough to make a sonic boom it gives great tests to your reflexs not to mention the entire fact its just plain ol fun to play.. blaze is awesome and sonics just sonic.. there are a few minor complaints i have about rush.. the voice acting is very sub par but for a haldheld platform its decent.. the story is lacking fiber mainly... oh lets follow this person their not here but some other sonic character is.. oh their in this place over here... -chase chase chase- ame ends basically... the special stages start out tame and all but the last emerald is freakin IMPOSSIBLE for me atleast to get... but over all i definately give rush a 4/5 asfar as the sonic haldheld gens go.. but stacked upto sonic adventure even its lackin alot.... so compaired to that.. its like 1.5 or so...Read full review
The game itself is great. Good music, good stage design, good story concept. This individual cartridge did not work at first but it started to work fine eventually.

After playing the original sonic on sega, this version does not compare. Although the graphics may be better, it is way too easy to beat. Sonic Rush only has 7 Acts, while the original has over 12 Acts (never was able to beat the original game). Also they said there's a mysterious new girl player one can use in the game... it wasn't much of a mystery because you get her after you beat the first boss (way too easy). I think the only hard aspect of the game is getting the gem stones for sonic. So yeah, if you love sonic and really want to add this to your collection, try and grab it as cheap as possible because it's not worth 20-30 bucks for it.
When I purchased Sonic Rush for the DS I was excited to take it home and give it a test drive, I was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the graphics are amazing on the DS and I'm a big fan of the hedgehog. The thing that made me fall out of love with this game is the dual screen movements of Sonic. Him moving from the top screen of the DS to the bottom started making me dizzy and having a hard time moving along with Sonic at his fast pace. I've been playing it for 2 weeks and just gave up because I couldn't get used to the dual screen motions. There isn't any options I see that will change the setting to just one screen. The boss fights are nicely done but I do think that Sega should have improved on that dual screen movements of Sonic, I found it very annoying.
Everything came exactly as pictured, arrived early which is fantastic, overall a great buy.
