Those dismayed with the recent next-gen Sonic game will find solace that a sequel to Sonic Rush is being made. More 2-D gameplay goodness across two screens (not to mention a good soundtrack) is alright with me.
Good. Visual style and odd choice of music aside, Sonic Rush was a really well-made, refined, and balanced Sonic game. The fact that it was fun to Time Attack shows Dimps finally got it.
I loved the first one so I'll be picking this one up.
<3 Sonic Rush
I just hope it's more of...

I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but Rush was fantastic, and adding "Adventure" to a new Sonic game does little to boost my enthusiasm. Nor does the thought of Sonic hunting down pirates.Quote:
There will be 3D segments where Sonic pilots submarines, hovercrafts, and other ships while in pursuit of the game's pirate villains
It's about time! I was beginning to think they'd never get around to it.
Agreed, but I suspect the pirate elements are simply for marketing purposes and don't really alter the gameplay.Quote:

Is it even really possible for these games to reclaim the old charm they once held? For both Sonic and Mario I just don't know if they'll ever be so great again or capture the old charm I use to love.
Maybe not but I think New SMB captured a lot of what's great about classic Mario, moreso than Sonic Rush did for its series.
