Sonic Rush Adventure preview for Nintendo DS
While Nintendo’s Mario seems to go from strength to strength, staunch rival Sonic has stumbled of late, lurching from one disaster to another - sort of like a bluer, spikier version of Lindsay Lohan. This culminated in the debacle that was Sonic PS3, and despite a recent career resurrection via the pretty good Secret Rings on Wii, Sonic’s adventures in the third dimension haven’t exactly set the world alight.
There’s one obvious exception to this ignoble decline, and it’s in the shape of 2005’s Sonic Rush - a blistering slice of dual-screened brilliance from 2D masters Dimps Co. Sure, there were one too many sudden, near-invisible drops, and the 3D boss battles weren’t up to much, but for the most part Sonic Rush returned the series to its roots. Its lean, mean levels provided fast-paced entertainment seemingly long since abandoned by the increasingly hapless Sonic Team and remembered exactly why Sonic became so popular in the first place; speed.
