Sonic Rush Adventure



Sonic Rush Adventure is the second Sonic game for the DS, and the sequel to the best-selling Sonic Rush (AKA the only good Sonic game in years.) Sonic Rush Adventure sees Sonic on the high seas in Blaze's dimension. It was released to rabid Sonic DS-craving fans on September 14, 2007 in Europe (making US Sonic fans squeal with jealousy), and then, after FOUR LONG DAYS of waiting, US got it. It will come out in Japan... eventually...

Cast of Characters
Sonic the Hedgehog - One of the two playable characters. The big cheese, the star of the show, the guy who does the fast stuff and stuff, it's Sonic. The fact that you're here implies that you already know everything about this guy, so let's move on, shall we?

Blaze the Cat- The other one of the two playable characters. Hailing from another dimension, she has the powah to control fire, and was teased about it as a child, to add generic drama to the whole situation. She's also a princess, and the guardian of the Sol Emeralds. Sonic taught her the true value of friendship in the first Rush, and now she's friends with Sonic.

Miles "Tails" Prower- Orange fox guy, builds stuff, tinkers with machines, rumored boyfriend of Sonic, yadda yadda yadda. He's not playable to the dismay of many a Tails fan, but he will build and upgrade water vehicles for you using parts you find in levels.

Marine The Raccoon - OH GOD MAKE THE TALKING STOP

Captain Whiskers - The main villain of the game, Captain Whiskers is a robot that looks like Eggman for unexplained reasons, and wants to capture this royal stick thingy. Sonic, of course, has to kick his butt.

Johnny - Yet anohter  rival  for  Sonic, this guy is the fastest waterbiker ever, and feels the need to pwn Sonic at waterbiking. Race him for Chaos Emeralds.

Story
Sonic and Tails were tracking a mysterious, completely unknown source of energy, when they got sucked into a tornado. Sonic and Tails awaken on an island, where a girl wakes them up and takes care of them. Marine tells our dynamic duo that she wants to go adventuring. So Sonic and Tails set off for different islands and the adventure begins.

Along the way, Sonic will run into Blaze the Cat, who's trying to save the Jeweled Scepter from a band of pirates, and adventureyness ensues.

Gameplay
As soon as you finally get control of Sonic after 20 hours of text wading, Tails gives you a tutorial on how to play the game, which is necessary for a game as complicated as Sonic. As soon as you're finished learning how to do things such as move left or right, run through loops, and jump on robots, Tails will build you a waterbike.



You draw a line on a map to your island destination, and then you play a little waterbiking minigame. After this is over, you finally get to play the part where you run really fast. You pretty much do this for the rest of the game.
