[QUOTE=The Video Game Critic]I'm getting in late on this thread, but I think Sonic and the Secret Rings is the best Sonic since the Dreamcast was on the shelves. The graphics are fantastic, and I think the controls are quite natural. I especially like smashing into enemies by pushing the controller forward. It's also probably the toughest Sonic game I've ever played. A lot of replay value too.

Ya know Critic, I will tell you, that I have reviewed lots of games and I have never played such a good game that is totally RUINED by the lamea$$ voice acting.
There is a part where you are flat RACING around a dinosaur and it is quite intense. Then all of a sudden, Sonic and the uber-nagging fairy thing starts quipping about how the dinosaur looks hungry and blah blah blah. This totally broke the tension and I returned the game to the video store and don't plan to buy it until it drops to like $14-19 bucks.
It should have taken a page from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. Just shut up and get to it already.
