Sonic Rush (Nintendo DS)

Sonic Rush for the NDS is good. It's the only good Sonic game I have seen outside of the original 3 on the Sega Genesis over a decade ago.

Basically, it's a Sonic game with updated graphics that uses both screens - sometimes you're on the top screen and sometimes the bottom and both display the game world. It confuses me, but I was never good at Sonic.

Maria de Guadalupe loves it; I told her it got good reviews but was hammered for being too hard -
when I described specific details of the difficulty she dismissed it saying she'd already been through that and it wasn't much of a problem. She went on to tell me that she'd beaten five bosses (and their zones) that morning. I realized that she's a better sonic player than the average reviewer.

The game came out in 2005; better late than never.
