Sonic Rush Adventure preview for Nintendo DS
2005's Sonic Rush was the dream Sonic game. It took the old 2D style that everyone loved and made it better. 3D was relegated to a supporting background role, while a whole new system of performing tricks to win boost – which made Sonic run even faster – took the game to a whole new level of Sega awesomeness.

Adventure?
Thankfully, the ‘Adventure' bit of Sonic Rush Adventure seems to just mean that there's a map screen with a few islands on it for you to pick your level from. The game is still, thank baby Jesus, mentally fast platform racing with boost, rings, baddies and Sonic running fast, free and naked. As ever, there's a diversionary bonus round. This year it takes the form of 3D water racing sections, where Sonic powers along trying to collect rings without smashing into islands, and keeping his ring-collecting bonus as he goes. You also race submarines and boats, plus there's a hovercraft to make whizz about with the stylus.
