An extremely polished DS title. It does a great job offering a fantastic, energetic old-school challenge that keeps the classic gaming style alive.

Sonic Rush moves Sonic's 2D adventures over to the DS, and that positive trend continues with a platformer that focuses on raw speed while still managing to do interesting new things, particularly when it comes to the handheld's dual-screen format.

Sonic Rush is an excellent pick-up-and-play title that's as addictive as any in the series, and has better graphics, sound, and presentation than any title before it.

Sonic Rush for the Nintendo DS, is a very good start to the Boost Formula, has very good, energetic and funky music (props to Hideki Naganuma), Gameplay feels very balanced and the story focuses on different personalities of both Sonic and Blaze, while focusing a bit of friendship and hope as well.

Sonic may be in a rush, but Sega clearly wasn't when they crafted this glorious game. [NGC Pocket]

The stages are huge, well-detailed, and genuinely fun to poke around in. As far as side-scrollers go, it's high quality.

I liked this one. Blaze is universally appealing and breedable. Even though she's a tired cliche that's been done a million times already. It's just a good cliche.

Aside from some repetition and a few minor technical flaws, Sonic Rush delivers a wholly satisfying old-school experience, kicked into extreme overdrive.
80
Thwarting Dr Robotnik's nefarious schemes have never been this fun, especially with the blue hedgehog on the DS. Good clean fun for Sonic fans all over.
80
The action is all the more overwhelming spread across both screens of the DS, requiring sharp changes in focus from screen to screen as Sonic sprints a one-minute mile.
70
Exploring as Sonic or new character Blaze the cat is rewarding, even if enemy placement can be stupidly punitive, demanding rote memorisation or lightning use of the dash attack to avoid calamity.
60
Perhaps the first Sonic game that had Gamestyle reaching for the instruction manual. It starts a bit vague in regards to how it should be played, but it soon clicks into place.

Hands down, the best handheld Sonic game! Not only because of its story, also because of its mechanics, environments, level design with an awesome sense of speed, difficulty and boss fights that despite only taking one hit per Time, they're well accomodated with their own Acts in each zone Recommemded!

Cool game, a good introduction to the boost formula, the controls feel nice and fluid. Some stages are fun, but some are painfully annoying (altitude limit, night carnival) the instant death pits get annoying. The boss fights are cool i guess, but sometimes unfairly hard. I enjoyed my time with the game for the most part

petty bad game, very overrated, the bottomless pits are annoying, the levels are uncreative and the story is petty bad, the soundtrack is ok with some highlights like water palace but i would not recomend this game, sonic rush adventure is a lot better
