Manufacturer's Description
Sonic returns to the Nintendo DS with all the classic 2D, dual screen action the fans loved in Sonic Rush, as well as a new high-seas adventure where he clashes with ruthless pirates. As Sonic, players will set off from Windmill Village to explore seven action-packed levels featuring the classic 2D gameplay that the Sonic series is known for. Now players will get to explore the action stages to uncover valuable items and materials which allow Tails to build new ships that help Sonic explore the high-seas. With a fleet of up to five ships, including a submarine, water bike, and hovercraft, players will use the touch screen technology in exciting new ways to control their ships as they race across the ocean gathering rings, busting tricks, and torching pirate ships in fierce ship-to-ship battles. At the end of each level, players will test their skills in epic 3D boss battles that span both screens, including the ultimate showdown with the evil pirate, Captain Whisker. Let the adventure begin!

A Warning!
Short But Sweet Review;
Brilliant Game, Graphics and even plot line!
Only one thing wrong with this game, you need to keep saving every hour or so (if you play that long), otherwise this game has a tendency to freeze on you and you loose all progress so far.
This could just be my bad luck but other than this the game is really good.

Sonic with a twist
The game sees Sonic travelling at sea to explore various islands. First, you use the DS's stylus to draw a route from your base to your destination. It is not always simple as you have to avoid hazards, such as rocks and shallow waters, and can only go a limited distance at one time.

The actually travelling consists of steering a boat with the stylus whilst collecting special items destroying enemies. I found this tough at times, especially as the enemies become more difficult when you get better ships.

Arriving at an island leads to a platforming level. Completion of a level rewards you with a material, which varies depending on the level, and you are able to upgrade your transport once you have collected the required number of different materials. It can be a bit tedious replaying the same island several times as it's the only one that offers your required material.

The levels are just as you'd expect from a Sonic game, fast-paced with various power-ups and obstacles. The end of stage bosses are not overly difficult once you've worked out how to defeat them, but there is the option of changing their difficulty setting.

The game was not much of a challenge to me, as I completed the main quest quite quickly. However, by talking to other characters on the island, you can unlock new missions, requiring you to replay levels, plus there are Time Attack and online challenges too.

Having enjoyed the early Sonic games, I found Sonic Rush Adventure fun to play through, but not something I'd go back to again and again.

Amazing
I love, love, love this game.

As a huge fan of the original Sonic and having recently purchased my DS I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't think that this would live up to my expectations - how wrong I was.....It exceeds them and some!

If you love sonic or other quick moving platform games then you'll love this. Or if you just fancy something that you simply can't put down then give Sonic a chance.
