  1. I don't like tricking in Sonic Rush.

    You are being asked to mash a button in order to build boost meter? And that button can also do other things, like jump off a pulley by mistake?

    And tricking in the air is a different button from tricking on grind rails. Ew.

    Everything else about it is amazing though. Especially the music. If you never have any Hideki Naganuma music in your life, you haven't truly lived.

  2. Sonic Rush (Nintendo DS) is genuinely great in terms of level design and game mechanics (the combo system is so cool) and the soundtrack by Hideki Naganuma (of Jet Set Radio fame) is incredible... and whenever I play it it's dragged down by the bosses just taking forever to kill with hit windows that are only open for fractions of a second as the fight goes on between long periods of invulnerability and the occasional instakill attack. Or it just deciding to fling all your rings off the top of the screen, never to come back.

    I time it and I spend more time flailing against the bosses and brute forcing my way past attacks I can't figure out than playing the main levels...
