Collecting enough rings or stars to unlock interesting items takes a lot of time.īanking requirement: The rings you collect as you run aren't actually saved in your account unless you reach certain checkpoints in the game. The missions, accomplishments, Google+, and Facebook integration for leaderboards, and power-ups keep the game fresh only up to a point.Īnnoying in-app purchases: To unlock other playable characters like Knuckles, Tails, Amy, or Shadow, remove the fullscreen video ads that appear whenever you fail to complete a race, or buy upgrades, you need to spend rings, stars, or money. This sensation is further aggravated by the lack of environments: only two are available. Repetitive: Although enjoyable, the never-ending running experience lacks the sense of accomplishment of level-based games. Sonic, himself, looks authentic, as do the tracks, obstacles, minions, and arch-enemies he encounters along the way. Stimulating gameplay: Whether you're a casual or hardcore gamer, this title's gameplay is easy to grasp yet challenging.īeautiful game design: More than good looks, this game has charm. The only other command is a tap to unleash Sonic's unstoppable homing attack. Intuitive, responsive controls: Rather than relying on tilting like most running games, Sonic Dash uses swiping: left or right to switch between lanes, down to slide and defeat enemies, and up to jump over obstacles, all of which are responsive and, because of their straightforwardness, easy to grasp. But because of its limited environments, obtrusive video ads, and costly in-app purchases, it may tire you before long. An endless running game, Sonic Dash offers an entertaining gaming experience you will definitely enjoy if you're a Sonic fan.
