Sonic and the Secret Rings

Like a child, this game felt like the usual challenging but doable game that I used to play when I was little.
Keep in mind that I played this one right after being disappointed by Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, so maybe that's why I enjoyed this one so much.

It's a "Sonic on rails", controls can get bad but I think it isn't "game-breaking". It's played by horizontaly moving the wiimote but most of the actions are done by pressing buttons (thankfully) so it is not much diferent from the usual 3D Sonic (at least the ones I played), with less "auto-pilot" scenes than usual though there are nearly zero path choices, levels are all straight with a few diferent options to avoid obstacles but always staying on the same path.

Sonic is the only playable character and I'm happy about it, not only because I prefer the usual fast-paced sonic action but also because on the older Sonic games I played with other characters to explore the places that I couldn't reach with Sonic.

I found that there are very few levels, but every level has a bunch of missions that take part in a portion of the level and are needed to advance in the game which can be fun and challenging like finishing with 0 rings or without killing anything. By completing this missions I earned new skills and experience for my ring. This is another fun thing, Sonic has a ring on which he can equip skills like extra speed, jump, damage, new movements, etc. There are a lot of skills. Each skill requires a number of skill points on the ring and the number of skill points increasse by leveling the ring.

Story is fine, not very intrusive and never cuts action. I really apreciated that, when I get back from work I just want some fast action and this game was excellent for this, no exploration, not clueless walking nor talking to npcs, just select a stage and a mission, go!

It also includes a multiplayer mode, but I didn't try it so I have no opinion about it.

Did I like it? Yes.
 I think you will like it if you:
- Want instant action
- Don't mind moving sonic with the wiimote
- Can avoid comparisons with the good old sonic games

I rate my experience with a 7.5 out of 10.
