Sonic rush

[smellslikesomeghost]

Being snarky with Animal Crossing I bought Sonic Rush because it was a) cheap and b) I enjoyed Super Mario Bros so very much and hoped that sonic was similarly cool, retro and engaging.

So far however I go;
rush, speedy, rush rush, whoosh, oh, time's up.
OR
rush, speedy, rush rush, whoosh, oh lost all my rings.
OR
rush, speedy rush rush, whoosh, face a boss, jump about like a bored thing until time runs out and I start over again. I am bored already.

I bought this yesterday, but have not played it yet. Did I make an ill-advised purchase?

Hmmm, possibly. Or (quite likely) I just haven't quite got the hang of it yet and it may be aces.

I had a go over the weekend and I actually quite liked it. I did find myself dying rather a lot, but generally feeling like it was my fault for doing something stupid rather than the game's fault for being poorly designed. It's actually the first Sonic game in ages that's really given me a feel of speeeeed.
