Sonic and the Secret Rings Critic Reviews
Back in the days of 16-bit, Sonic the Hedgehog reigned supreme alongside Mario the Plumber as a video gaming mascot. His games were about speed, attitude and adrenaline—running from one end of a given stage to the other with little to get in your way,...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at Worth Playing
Sonic’s latest journey starts out with the blue hedgehog receiving a message from a genie, set in the pages of the classic book Arabian Nights. The genie warns Sonic of an evil genie named Erazor Djinn, who has set his sights on the secret rings...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at Amped IGO
Sonic where have you been? I’ve missed you for so long and now you’re back and I don’t know how to feel. I mean my Sonic Adventure nostalgia can only last so long right? Anyways, it’s good to have you back in decent form but I’ll be watching...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at GameBrink
Many of us have been acquainted with a little blue individual that wears red sneakers. He runs at astonishingly high speeds and has the strange urge to collect gold rings. That character is none other than Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega's primary icon and game...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at GamerNode
The rumors are true: Sonic and the Secret Rings is truer to its two-dimensional roots than any Sonic game in recent memory and is the best in the series since Sonic Adventure. Though the worlds are three-dimensional, speed prevails. Playing it means...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at HonestGamers

It seems such a long time since Sonic Team was held in illustrious regard, the mere mention of the name enough to guarantee genre-defining titles overloaded with fun and creativity. Making a name for themselves (and former head Yuji Naka) with the 1991...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at TotalVideoGames
The story goes that one day, Sonic is minding his own business when a genie, Shahra, appears and begs for his help as the Legendary Blue Hedgehog – she is from the world of the Arabian Nights stories, which is slowly being wiped out by the evil Erazor...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at Cubed3
Like many people, I've got a friend who has a bit of a Michael Jackson thing going on. Not a crazy "We Love You Michael" type, before you start rolling your eyes. Just a relatively rational fan, who liked him back when the singing and the dancing were so...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at Eurogamer
The fall of Sonic is looked on with sympathy by gamers worldwide. Last year’s despicable PS3 and Xbox 360 title added another nail into the franchise’s coffin as SEGA failed once again to create a 3D game worthy of Sonic’s 2D heritage. However,...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at Nintendojo
The Sonic series has been in serious trouble. The franchise has been stuck in a ditch ever since it made the transition over to the 3D era and no matter how fast the little blue blur can run, he just can’t seem to climb out of it. While you would...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at Console Game World
After a slew of disappointing and downright bad games, Sega's speedy hedgehog has finally returned in a game worthy of the Sonic legacy. Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii takes the game back to its high speed roots. While you can technically move in...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at GameSpot
Unlike the Mario series, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has never reached its full potential in 3-D. Sure the Sonic Adventure games for the Dreamcast were kind of fun. Ultimately though they paled in comparison to Sonic’s 16-bit Genesis outings. Sega...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at Gaming Target
Sonic the Hedgehog is back. After speeding his way straight into a brick wall on the 360 and PS3, the wisecracking mascot is now trying his luck on the Nintendo Wii, with Sonic and the Secret Rings. Is it the final nail in his coffin? Or does the blue...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at GameTrailers
The story of Secret Rings places Sonic in the middle of the Arabian Nights. It's not terribly original but the development team did a good job of integrating the storyline into the gameplay and vice versa; several familiar faces, such as Tails and...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at GamePro
Let’s face it folks, the years have not been kind to SEGA’s little blue hedgehog that could. After some pretty dismal showings and ill-received 3D exploits (particularly the most recent fiasco on the Xbox 360 and PS3), it’s beginning to appear that...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at GameZone
Sonic has quietly become videogaming's biggest celebrity train wreck: In his prime, he competed with Mario for game-of-the-year limelight, but these days he's a far cry from the mascot A-list. His waning stardom isn't the result of some explosive Mel...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at 1UP
3D Sonic games over the years have been patchy at best. Some have been downright terrible and while a couple have been decent, Sonic has never really translated into three dimensions in the way that Mario 64 did with the Mario games. With Sonic and the...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at PALGN AU
I still remember the very first game I got for my Sega Genesis on Christmas in 1991 - Sonic the Hedgehog. This was the time of the great Genesis vs. Super Nintendo war, the first true console war today's gamers may remember. Nintendo would run SNES ads...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at UnderGroundOnline
If you’re a Sonic fan, you know the dire situation everyone’s favourite blue hedgehog has been in for the last few years. Nearly every attempt at a 3D Sonic game has been flawed at best, and a total disaster at worst (I’m looking in your direction,...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at NZGamer
Sonic the Hedgehog has had a rough few years. His Sega Genesis glory days are long gone and his 3D adventures have been met with, at best, mixed reviews (and, at worst, rabid anger or dismal disappointment). The Nintendo Wii's unique controller offers...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at Wii Advanced
Sonic the Hedgehog has had plenty of reasons to be blue. Once he ran circles around Mario, but the past few years have seen Sega's mascot losing more than a few steps. If Sonic and the Secret Rings for Wii is any indication, though, this hedgehog is...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at Yahoo! Games

Like tuna and jam, Sonic and the third dimension don’t mix well. Sonic Adventure scored highly when first released, but arguably because we didn’t know any better back then. Sonic Heroes was ruined by uncontrollable but essential homing attacks,...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at Games Asylum
Sonic was a smash hit for Sega back in the 2D days, but ever since games delved into the third dimension, this series has been a shadow of its former self. The recent Sonic the Hedgehog titles released on Xbox 360 and PS3 proved to be another dagger in...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at Gamers Hell
Along with icons like Mario or, if you're a TurboGrafx-16 fan, Bonk, Sonic the Hedgehog is remembered even today as one of the greatest 2D platformer franchises of all time. However, the transition to the third dimension has not been kind to SEGA's...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at IGN
Sonic has been with us for about 16 years now, and in those 16 years he has had his ups and downs. Some would say that the life of Sonic and his pals is close to being over, but with this latest edition into the hedgehog's mythos - I say he just got an...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at Cheat Code Central
Gamers have heard for years that the Sonic franchise was due for a rebirth – a single game that would redefine the series and bring things back to the basics – our favorite blue hedgehog speeding through unique and suave looking levels full of loops,...read the complete Sonic and the Secret Rings review at Gamer Within
