When starting a new game, it shockingly shows a CGI cutscene from the Wii game. Yep. This is going to be good (But if only more CGI cutscenes were shown...). As for the game itself, it builds on Sonic Rush's fantastic gameplay (You can see my review for that if you want) and 2.5D graphical style, while adding in its own setting and storyline, as well as Wisps (For power-ups) and a Homing Attack.
The level design is extremely fun and has a fair amount of platforming elements thrown in together with fast speed! Plus, while Sonic Rush had pits for you to die in here and there, Sonic Colors doesn't have as much, giving you more time to gaze at the running hedgehog in awe. Things get even more exciting when collecting a Wisp. There's one that lets you Boost more, but others have different powers, such as drilling into the ground, using flames to hop in mid-air and beyond, etc.
Unlike the Wii version, though, in which there were 6 acts and a Boss in each world, Sonic Colors for DS has 2 and a Boss, making the game rather short. Fortunately, there are Missions in the game, and they are surprisingly hosted by other Sonic characters (Knuckles, Blaze, Charmy, Espio, and heck; even Silver and Omega!), which add some replay value. Actually, one thing that would keep you playing is the online play. Yup. Sonic Colors has you race against other people worldwide! Unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone online most likely due to Sonic Generations being released. Hopefully, you'll have better luck than I did.
But overall, this is still a fantastic game. Definitely a must-have for DS. Even if you already own the Wii game, it's totally worth it.
Bottom line: if you like Sonic, good platforming games, or just want a good DS title to play before the 3DS launch, this is for you.

Pros: clear graphics, cool theme with the whole idea that Sonic gets special powers from aliens called wisps, catchy music.
I would recommend this game to someone who is an expert at video games. Apparently, I am not that good yet and therefore this game was VERY frustrating for me. In fact, I have already sent this game back for a return to get my money back. The idea is great, but if only this game were a little easier. I was also very surprised by the great graphics. I recommend the getting a 3ds and the game Sonic Lost World for it. Now that's a game worth paying for......
