Sonic and the Secret Rings

Posted on Oct 29, 2009 under New Games

For the most part, Sonic makes the leap onto the Wii without much fuss. Tilting the Wii Remote to the left and right moves Sonic in that respective direction; the '1' and '2' buttons control stopping and jumping. Like with everything else about this game, it takes some getting used to, but after a few minutes of using the Wii Remote like a Sonic steering wheel, it quickly becomes second nature and feels more natural than simple button mashing.

Secret Rings also allows you to customize Sonic through the use of a special ring that lets you put focus into three key areas: speed, assault or defense. You can mix and match to create a Sonic that's right for you. Then there's the Soul Gauge, which allows Sonic to control time. By filling the Soul Gauge and pressing up, you can take Sonic to speeds that will make your head spin and it's one of the coolest looking effects in the free game downloads for pc full version game. Pressing down with a full Soul Gauge makes time slow down to a snails pace, allowing Sonic to maneuver through obstacles moving too fast, even for him.

One word of warning though: the game is tough, and not in a good way.
