First up, Selectron™ actually chose ‘Sonic Rush’ on the DS for me to play. I dutifully abided, but playing it only succeeded in hammering the final nail in my Sonic shaped coffin.
See, I’ve never really enjoyed Sonic games. The only reason I even own Sonic Rush is that I saw it very cheap and it had “The best Sonic Game Ever!” emblazoned on the front.
So I thought, if any game can change my mind then surely it’s ‘The best Sonic game ever’?
Sadly not.
I just can’t get my head around when I should and shouldn’t get involved with the action in these games. I love a bit of old school design but this is trial and error taken too far; when do I let the blue blur pinball around the screen on his own and when do I step in to make something happen? Git gud? Probably.
There’s no doubt that ‘Sonic Rush’ is a spectacular looking game, and in particular I really enjoyed the soundtrack (which put me in mind of Jet Set Radio) but there’s just something about me and Sonic that don’t get on.
So, second time around Selectron™ chose “Chibi Robo!™ Ziplash”
