Well, Steve from Gamerz-Edge says that their name appears no-where in the game and not one of the official websites mention Dimps in the copyright sections. Sonic Team also takes credit for the game on their site, so it's safe to assume Craig only made his assumption because they did the Sonic Advance games.Zeo said:

How does the 2D/3D combination work, from a technical standpoint? Does the game only run at 30fps due to the need to display 3D elements on both screens, or does it work like the GBA Tony Hawk games, which scrolled the levels at 60fps and rendered the polygonal characters at 30?

Hell yes. You can knock the 3D Sonics for a lot of reasons, but music isn't one of them, especially Sonic Adventrue 2, which has one of the best Sonic soundtracks ever (2nd only to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, in my opinion). All the Sonic stages, Shadow stages, boss themes, and ending stage themes are great. And Crush 45 kicks ass. While the rapping was corny in the Knuckles stages, the instrumentals ruled.

Not that I know the answer to this question, but it's not necessarily either. It could be 60 fps on both screens, just with each necessarily displaying less complicated 3D than a game that focuses on one screen at a time. Or they could both be 15 (theoretically; obviously I know I'd have read it in bold a lot by now were it the case).Father_Brain said:

Same even though I really want to pick up this game. Mario Kart and Tony (if I ever get it) take precedence though.demi said:

I think I'll have to get all 3 ;_; THAS looked great from the gameplay presentation and they put in just about every feature in the world. I think it could be the best TH in a while and also beome the second best selling sku out of the AW/AS bunch.
Going to get Sonic definately, whenever they get around to release it here.

Holy shit, the website's music just sold me...
Just add Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and your all set. Oh and NOMs perview really sold me, the Rush meter or whatever its called sounds awesome, as well as the fact that we finally have a Sonic game which you play at 100mph all the way through, rather than it continually going into ever more plodding platform territory as you progress.Timbuktu said:

I'd get Kirby ahead of Meteos personally.
You could get Fire Emblem I suppose, but I hear people have been having trouble jamming it in the DS slot.

Actually, that happened in Sonic Advance 2, and that [IMO] sucked. Sonic Rush still has these elements, but the game looks like it plays MUCH more like the older games, levels like Chemical Plant Zone, Flying Battery or Ice Cap Zone. SAdv2 and 3's levels were more like a huge set of floating platforms. You never really had a real "bottom of the level", instead having a shitload of bottomless pits. Rush looks to fix this. Getting Chaos Emeralds in 2 was a complete pain in the arse. You had to get 7 emblems with EVERY character for EVERY level. Was not fun at ALL.
Advance 3, other than having most of these problems, was a little better, level wise. But fucked things up by the horribly lame, useless buddy system. Your buddy never followed you, because the follow code was just so rotten, they'd never catch up to you. Plus, some matches just made it more of a chore to play through. [Knuckles + Tails for instance]. No emblems this time, but you had to collect 7 Chao, in any order on every stage, and THEN find a Key, to then find the special spring, to then get to the special stage.
Also, the Boss Battles shown [Dragon Head-Slamming + Dung-Beetle beating] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any bosses in the Sonic Advance Series.
I have no idea how you get into Special Stages in Sonic Rush, anyone able to enlighten me? I pray for the day where it goes back to being something simple, like finding hidden rings throughout the level.

God damn, THANK YOU.
It wasn't fucking Sonic. The stages FORCED you through it, without hardly any ability to stop and explore, thanks to the design of the stages. Every single stage felt like you were high in the air on floating platforms.
And finding those 7 fucking emblems to get into a bonus stage in Sonic Advance 2? Annoyingly impossible. Not a good kind of difficulty either, just stupid.
So what's the story with all you hardcore Sega-Sonic fans who refuse to buy or enjoy anything Nintendo DS? Are you going to skip on the best sonic game since the 16-bit days with music done by the JSR composer? The DS software list is hot right now and it will only get better between now and Febuary which is when I plan to get one that is if I don't crack this month. When will the SNKvsCapcom Card Battle game come out? Thats the one I want the most.

...ermm...as I think has already be pointed out (or maybe it was in the Mario Kart topic), IGN didn't give a single DS game a 9.0+ until like 7 months into the system's life.
