Sonic and the Secret Rings

Graphics: 6/10
They are decent, Sonic and other characters look good as the environment, but nothing remarkable compared to games like Mario Galaxy or Metroid other M.

Music 6.5 / 10
It is … good, has very memorable songs like “Let the speed to Mend It” or “Seven rings in hand”, but it is often repetitive, especially for the main theme that is repeated in the menu, when finishing the level or in the Final boss

Story 2/10
It has nothing to do with the universe of Sonic, enter the book of the Arabian Nights? Also appear the characters of Sonic but interpreting others of the Book as for example Tails is Ali Baba or knuckles is Sinbad. The other characters are humans totally alien to the world of Sonic.
Finally the story in general is somewhat boring and with inconsistencies, told with cutscenes with almost still images which, again, is boring.

Gameplay 2/10
It is basically a Runner, Sonic always moves forward and you have to dodge enemies and obstacles.
The controls are bad, overuse the Wii Control Sensor: to move from side to side, jump, rewind and the Homing Attack, and sometimes does not even respond, so in jump parts or where you should attack a Enemy to advance, not responding is extremely frustrating. The camera is always fixed to be behind Sonic, so if one wants to step back to activate a button, the camera does not rotate, hindering the player’s vision.

Level Desing 2/10
The levels are almost always straight, with many obstacles in between, very narrow and boring sections, switches in which you have to step back to activate them, added to the above mentioned it makes a very stressful experience. There are few parts where they are well designed and you feel the speed of a Sonic game.

Enjoyment 2/10
It has almost no fun, is stressful, boring and monotonous.

Rating 4.0 / 10
Secret Rings is a very bad game, I do not recommend it to Runner fans, Sonic fans, or anyone with a Nintendo Wii, if you want a good game of the series in that console, play Sonic Colors.
