(More customer reviews)UPDATE: After posting this article, I discovered you CAN in fact jump straight into different levels. It goes to show the importance of reading directions. While this does improve my already positive review of Rush Adventure, the 3D aspects of the game really don't add enough to the overall experience to up this title to a 5 star.
Sonic Rush brought the fleet footed hedgehog's side scrolling adventures to the dual screen.
The 2nd installment in the Rush series, thankfully, keeps the good and adds some nice little extras into an already solid platform.
As in the previous Sonic DS title, style plays a big factor in this game. When sliding along rails, or leaping through the air, pressing buttons will allow Sonic and Blaze to strike stylish poses to fill your boost meter. This was tweaked ever so slightly this time around to make it much more fluid.
The level design is also made just a slight more intuitive. In Sonic Rush, the feeling of old school Sonic blazing through the levels was brought back to life in a big way. Rush Adventure pretty much does the exact same thing, just removes a couple of floor spikes, causing the action to flow at top speed pretty much the entire time.
Without a doubt the largest change from Rush to Rush Adventure is the 3D gameplay. To get from level to level, Sonic and friends have to travel via jetski (you will unlock different crafts throughout the game.) Using primarily the stylus, you'll collect rings and take down enemies on your way to your chosen destination. Honestly, I've found that sometimes this is enjoyable and sometimes I want to just skip past it. Still, it doesn't detract from the game.
The cast of characters is what has become the typical cheesy Sonic fare. The storyline is no different. As the reviewer before me, I sometimes long for the days of old where Sonic would just show up, run around bashing enemies, flip the sign, and move on.
As far as replayability, the main storyline pretty much requires it. You'll need to go through levels multiple times in order to obtain the parts required to upgrade to better vehicles. Because there are so many ways to race through any given level, it really doesn't get old. After all, a misplaced jump could either send you flying into a bottomless pit or drop you to some path which you didn't even know existed.
Adventure is notably easier than its predecessor. Much the same as New Super Mario Brothers, you could quickly find yourself with an overabundance of extra lives.
While Sonic Rush Adventure may not turn into a Nintendo DS classic, it is definitely a solid purchase and worth the price.
