first of all id like to wave a proud middle finger to dimps to altitude limit zone as a whole and to those fuckass rocket shits you gotta grab in a leap of faith superman mentality, and the latter special stages REGARDLESS if theyre cool or not. . .mk now i can talk on this with clear conscience
i almost dropped this game SEVERAL times and wanted to but my wife told me i needed to lock-in and i proceeded to be like this game is on that BULL shit though, but eventually... Eventually.. i Did lock-in and got good .. Eventually!
It's got one of the best soundtracks in the series(of the games ive played thus far), and i love the models i love how crunchy they look, i love the aesthetics of this game and the trick system is really cool and the boost mechanic is Probably my favorite of any sonic game ive played that even has one! And Blaze is awesome and I think her individual story ending was more satisfying than Sonic's on basis alone of her being a character that actually developed in this story
You got everyone from knuckles, cream, tails, amy and the eggmen...eggmans?...the eggmeese! But amy's still her weird boychaser self in this era that they loved leaning into for the sonic x and onward structure of the series until Maybe...Generations??????? idek, im still a relatively new fan LMAO thats just a guess i know it dies down eventually though but I love when Amy's like.. cool..
tails is sweet and cream is arguably second most important side character in all this
this really does feel more like the blaze and cream game than it does the sonic and tails show
which im happy about because from what ive been told this is blaze's best and first game appearance and i think thats just s a d but i do see what people meant
Burning Blaze fucking rules and she rapidly shot up in my faves even before I hopped on IDW Comics or anything like that :) !!
Sucks that Knuckles really is just kindof T h e r e for the game but it wouldnt be the first time Knuckles and Amy are just kinda T h e r e with nothin going on but some neat little interactions so im not pressed.
The zone variety is really cool in Sonic Rush as well as the actual enemies you face CARRYING OFF of enemies from sonic heroes and even adventure 2 badnik design, really caught me offguard. The special stages are also pretty awesome and tense, though i think leaning into touchscreen shit for them made me way more anxious about them than I shouldve been tbh. And thats just a Me thing, probably a lot easier for other people.
The bosses in a graphical standpoint look really cool and I dunno I think id take them anyday over 3/4ths of the bosses from the classic sonic era, fuckedup how they got some with instakills going on though
and thts smthin tht kept pissing me off with this game in particular! there's a lotta shit that you wouldnt know about unless you trial and error your ass off, i got A ranks on some of these fuckin zones and acts and that felt more like a sink or swim mentality thing rather than something i WILLINGLY wanted to do
I wound up doing that because of how crazy some difficulty spikes can be in this game and wariness over enemy placements and grabbing as many rings as i can to stack those fucking extra lives.
The final boss surprisingly enough isnt even the hardest boss in the game to me, thatd be the one before it because it has so many moves in rotation that it didnt wanna use in tandem with how to actually Damage the fuckin thing
but i still loved it,
i cant rank a sonic game that samples malcom X anything lower than a 3.5/5 honestly.
Though i do think its crazy how the true boss chapter will just pick up from however many lives you had left with sonic and blaze in their own stories respectively ... like thats kinda HARSH?? but atleast when you die itll pick up from the last check you were at from Sonic's perspective ATLEAAAAST
like the game's not That punishing
but all in all, this game invoked a lot of deep seeded anger within me which is really funny looking back because its got a lot of charm and some of the most fun 2d sonic gameplay ive tasted
It may even shoot up higher on a revisit, but i just cant meatsuckle a video game that makes me do some of the fuckshit this made me do im so salty
great time, higher end of the games ive played
but oh my god for a short game this had to have had kids in the early 00s BUUUUUUUUUUUSY

An amazing, often-forgotten introduction to the Boost Formula of Sonic Games. Introduces my favorite Sonic Rival to this day, Blaze the Cat... Who then got ruined by Sonic 2006. But lets ignore that that happened.
Also we really need the composer to come back for another Sonic game.

the sample says "rappin' black" not "wrapped in black" Hideki.
Really good game.
Really good game.
Nunca pensei que fosse tão legal usar o Boost em um Sonic 2D (2.5 nesse caso) adoro essa mecânica de deixar o Sonic ainda mais rápido, e a Blaze também, os efeitos de fogo dela são incríveis. O que odiei nesse jogo é a merda da tela dupla do DS, porra, mais atrapalha do que ajuda essa merda. A história é bem mais ou menos, só serve de contexto mesmo, e os Chefões são os fáceis de sempre, mas é muito demorado pra derrotar eles, o que deixa tudo mais monótono depois de uma fase rápida e frenética.
This thing started the boost era of Sonic, something the series still hasn't recovered from. Amazing presentation and some really interesting characters put on top of the start of a tragedy. I couldn't bear to finish this one, sorry Rush fans.
It was fun from what I played. definitely gonna go back to this one.
this definitely has the best soundtrack in the series but that's about all i remember about it
