Sonic Rumble is currently available in the form of the so-called “pre-launch” for iPhone/iPad, and the rest of the formats will arrive in summer.
Apparently it is now at Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends to stumble in obstacle races in the style of autumn boys and stumbling, a popular genre that has ultimately lost a little in their range and relevance, but that is still a certain presence. In view of this, it is not surprising that Sega looks at this direction, but at the same time the movement seems unexpected. Does the Sonic franchise really fit into this context? The quick answer is … no. Nevertheless, we will deepen a little more, although the game itself does not offer a depth.
In fact, there is no difference in relation to the other games of the genre, unless it dresses with Sonic's clothing. You have to be the first to avoid a number of obstacles, or you have to survive your opponents on platforms that revolve around floors or disappear under your feet. You already get an idea. We have seen it before and there is not much unique here. Of course, we occasionally have the classic sound bump bars, which pushes you through the levels like a small pinball, and from time to time you can also run in the classic Sonic style and collect some golden rings. It is the same for the risk of looking like a slightly senile parrot as before, but with a new costume.

This agreement makes me a bit sad. Sonic is generally a fantastic franchise with many great games and surprisingly good films. It is clear what you intend here, and in reality it doesn't surprise me at all. It is a strategy that is unfortunately destroyed by greed, since the goal of Sonic Rumble is to unlock new cosmetic objects and new characters, and we fall into this other terrible hole, which is characterized by microtransactions. Sonic Rumble does not require that you pay money for playing, but if the target audience is obviously the children, you know how to talk to those people at home, the Sonic Rumble play. “Papa, can you give me 5 $ so that I can buy new aspects? There is a very cool sound figure that is black and red.”
Yes, we will generally give music, graphics and design some recognition. But in reality it is no surprise because we talk about Sonic. There is classic sound music, a recognizable design style of earlier iterations from Sonic and it is also really nice when they remain motionless. However, if things accelerate, the framework speed falls significantly, which leads to a rather ugly experience. I hope this is something you can repair because it doesn't work that way when the game is actually geared towards that it has to be fast, and you have to be vigilant to make the right decisions.

The game didn't seem to be much for the rest. Performance problems cannot even be attributed to my lack of hardware quality because I tried the game on an iPhone 16. In general, it also seemed to me to recognize pretty messy experience and difficult to see what they did. In my case, it became more of a kind of roller coaster ride in which I could be sent on the track, and strangely, I managed to win several times without knowing what I was doing. He left me no lasting impression. I would recommend that you look for another Sonic game if you feel like something like this because this is not very good.
Handy games are always a bet. Sometimes they find jewels that manage to stay entertaining for a long time, but most of the time they are sacks with bad game mechanics. Sonic Rumble is not terrible. If you can ignore the fact that it is disordered and suffered from chopped frequencies, there is a game that at least works, and which is undoubtedly interwoven into the earliest age. For me, as a sound fan, he will not defend in the future.
