I keep wanting to call this game "Sonic Wildfire", which is understandable, as that was its original title. I also wanna call this game "Sonic and the Secret Wings." That one, however, doesn't make any sense at all...

But anyway, me and Daniel played this last night at his house. The game is...interesting. It's a Wii game, I'll tell you that. Not some lame port or half-assed piece of crap like FarCry. But...it's not a great game. It's an okay game. It'd probably be a good game to me if I had gotten used to the controls.

The controls are nice, but they take a while to get used to. I didn't really play enough of it to get the handle on things, but I can see myself having fun after a while.

The story sucks, but who cares?

The game also has this neat "Party" mode. It's like Mario Party, only not... It's got these modes of gameplay in which you go through rounds of doing something (moving on a "board", sailing down a river, collecting treasure...), and after each round, you all play a mini-game. The mini-games use the Wiimote in various ways, obviously. Some of them suck, some of them are awesome (like the violin and rug games). But, what this mode really made me feel is an increase in anticipation for Mario Party 8. Sonic's party mode made me realize how awesome Mario Party 8 is gonna be.

This apparently isn't really a review of Sonic. I guess it's an... "impressions" piece or something. I don't know. Who cares? Here's a video of me playing:
