Top 10 Wii Games of 2007 - #8

submitted by Mitchell on 12.24.2006 in Videos/Gaming, Technology

Hey everyone. I hope your all having a great Christmas Eve.

Number 8 on my countdown is the continuation of a 15 year old franchise; the one that single handedly created my love of video games. Sonic and the Secret Rings, formerly known as Sonic Wild Fire, involves Sonic diving into the world of the Arabian Nights to retrieve lost chapters of the book. The game uses the Wiimote’s motion-sensing capabilities to a large extent, and will allow players to string together or combine several different moves. One of the unique aspects of the game is that you can’t stop moving. Sonic, will, at all times be moving either forward or backwards to add a sense of speed to the game.

The last few Sonic games haven’t been very impressive (I’m looking at you, Shadow the Hedgehog), so let’s see if Sega can live up to the hype behind Secret Rings, so we can tell where the franchise is headed on the Wii. The current US release date is slated at March 6th, 2007.
