Game came in original case. Works really well. Delivery took long than expected, but it was USPS fault. It sat in one of their sorting facilities for a couple of days. I would definitely buy from this vendor (Station 1 Books) again.

My son wrote this review:

After I bought a 3ds XL, I wanted to play the famous 'Sonic Rush'. I heard a lot of great things about this game, and most of them are true. This game is fun, fast, and difficult( in a fun way)! These are all things I need to love a Sonic game. The music is fun, the bosses are difficult, but not to a degree so that I would pull my hair out, and the special stages are fun, and original, also. This game is really meant to be fun, I know, because I got the best ranks on stages that I would relaxingly play, and I only got the seventh chaos emerald because I relaxed! This game is BETTER than every classic Sonic game EVER. It stands, as of right now, to be the best Sonic game I've ever played.

So Wheres that gap again?

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2006

I bought sonic rush about a month and a half ago and still have yet to beat the 3rd level. Although im relativeley bad at using the ds, (though I find it fun) sonic rush's control scheme worked fine for me, the only problem I have discovered with it is the tenacious levels. This being a sonic game, and a 3d side scroller at that, you want to move fast, and since pressing X (I think) boosts you, I try to do that all the time, but oh no, theres another gap I overshot and half to try the level over again because of falling 200,000 feet. That gets frustrating to an extent, im not a true hardcore sonic fan, but seriously I'd rather have a totally fast paced action game than feeling like im driving in new york city.

Pros: Can be fun and exhilerating to watch the enviorments fly by as you zoom across the level

Not very difficult, its releativley easy, you start with many lives, no mind bending puzzles

The boss battles take a little getting used to and are a refreshing break from the side scrolling action

Cons: Stop, Go, Stop, Go, action, to much stopping to move a heavy stone block so you can pass, then rocketing forward for 10 seconds only to fly off a ledge

Side scrolling action, this can get boring fast...

Little to no touch screen involvement, yes there are sections where you use it to guide sonic, but this gets repetitive and boing after a few levels.

Love It.

It feels good to have this part of my childhood back in my hands. This game is pretty short, though. I managed to beat it in 2 days. Then again, I wasn’t expecting an epic on a DS game. The special stage in Dead Line gave me so much hell when I was younger, and this time it took me 2 attempts. And don’t get me started on the wicked soundtrack this game’s been blessed with.

My eleven year old has been loving this Sonic game in her DS. She says that it is at least as good as New Super Mario Brothers, and maybe even better! The game plays fine with no issues.
