While the game is mostly single player the multiplayer that is added with this game makes this game much more desirable.

This is one of the starting games that came out with the release.  And well, since this site didn’t come out since during the Wii came out so yeah, you know why this multiplayer Wii game is here.

Pro:	Impressive transaction from the gamecube (although I still preferred Sonic Adventure 2) In the game you get a great feeling of moving fast, or just sliding to change directions. There are multiplayer mini-game added to this multiplayer Action game. In Story mode there’s a level up system + a whole bunch of skills you can add onto Sonic
Con:	The controls slowly respond sometimes The game treats you like you never played the game (or read the manual)

Sonic and the Secret Rings Gameplay

Controls

In this multiplayer action game you don’t control sonic, instead you just tilt the Wiimote to change the direction he runs.

• Tilt the Wiimote left or right to make Sonic go in that direction.
• Press 2 to jump, the longer you hold it down the higher you jump.
• When jumping shake the Wiimote to do Sonic’s famous homing dash
• Press 1 to break.  When you break you’ll stop moving completely, but you also lose your speed.
• And later on you press the direction pad to use special skills.

Gameplay

This adventure starts out after Sonic falls asleep reading a book!  DOES HE EVEN LIKE TO READ?  Well anyways he somehow gets transport into the world in the book.

In the game you are basically set in one straight path.  You can run backwards if you wish, but the majority of the time you’ll be running forward.  You’ll have to jump and use the homing attack to get the baddies and avoid obstacles.

Throughout each stage you’ll get EXP in eventually get Sonic to level up.  When he does you get new skills and more skill capacity to hold them.  The skills will improve Sonic’s ability and give him new moves in your disposal.

Sonic and the Secret Rings Multiplayer

The multiplayer in this multiplayer Wii game is a bit special.  Oppose to something related to running, you’ll be playing it party game style!

There’s no Nintendo WFC.  The first game with Nintendo WFC was Pokemon Battle Revolution, which didn’t come out until a lot later.

There are a couple of multiplayer mini-game modes so I’ll just list the ones available at start (you can unlock more modes by finding enough fire souls).

• World Library – In this mode you get free choice of mini-games.  Just choose which ever you want to play in.
• Genie’s Lair – Play a random mini-game, winner opens a treasure box!  The box gives you random amount of points.  Once all the boxes are all opened the person with the most point wins!  Let that be you!
• Pirates Coast – Play mini-games, the higher place you get the farther you get to move you pirate ship.
• Treasure Hunt – Find the treasure!  The movement is similar to Pirate Coast.
• World Tournament – It all comes down to this.  Divided and pitted against each other.  Be the winner at the end of the long chain of battles.

Conclusion

Without the multiplayer mini-games this game wouldn’t even be here.  However despite that this game does a decent job of adding these mini-games.

However the real meat of this game is in the story mode.  I mean come on, you have a level system with a whole bunch of cool skills!

you should try renting this game if you’re only after multiplayer games, this game only has a minor multiplayer games. Rent at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!
