3.0 out of 5 stars He's a one trick hedgehog..., December 10, 2006
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Sonic Rivals (Video Game)
Sonic Rivals pits Sonic the Hedgehog against some of his buddies that appeared late in the series. Knuckles, Silver, Black etc. I think about the time Sonic started having buddies was when the franchise became less fun. You rocket around 3d tracks with no time to react to what you encounter which means if you play online, someone will have cold memorized the track and will kick you silly. If you play in story mode, its very little fun unless you have the reflexes of a chipmunk on crack.

Gone are the days of using your intellect and mastery of the controls to get through the map. Now, you hang on and I guess if its summertime and you are 10, you play over and over to learn the map thoroughly. The best thing about the original Sonic on Genesis was the imagination inventing puzzles and bosses. Now, the levels are stunningly pretty, and you go fast, and the bosses suck and the control is not trustworthy. I won't play anything where I can't control the character because the system is too busy doing something else, which begs the question : It's 2d, why is it so hard to
make a game that plays as well as the Genesis (I guess the PSP is 100X faster)?

Pick it up if you want to play with friends. The story mode is useless.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ehhh..., June 28, 2009
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Sonic Rivals (Video Game)
Sonic Rivals was one of the first games I got for my PSP. It's fun when you start, and it's pretty cool collecting cards, but then it gets really boring and repetitive. I always try to collect new cards, but I always get the same cards. And the roster is also sort of boring. Silver, Sonic, and Shadow are fast (obviously) and Knuckles is the slowest, that's all there is to know. The only character I like is Metal Sonic. The storyline is also very boring, just people chasing Eggman Nega and Eggman. That's not a big deal, though, because I don't buy video games to read them. I would recommend this game to (maybe) have on the go, but not to play at home or something. Just something to do when you're bored.
