SONIC AND THE SECRET RINGS
WII, 2007
The first game in Sonic’s short-lived storybook spin-off series sees him transported to the world of Arabian Nights, with regulars like Knuckles and Tails playing roles such as Sinbad and Ali Baba. This platformer has an unusual on-rails style that manages to avoid the camera issues common to prior 3D Sonic games (at the cost of curtailing freedom) and implements an interesting but ultimately flawed upgrade system. The game did receive a sequel, Sonic & The Black Knight, which was based on Arthurian legends.
