Sonic Colours for the DS - The Best Sonic So Far

The Sega Sonic Colours For DS builds on the popular fairground theme from Sega after the successful launch of the Sonic Classic Collection. The story is based on the principal villain character Dr. Eggman, the evil character in the Sonic Series, who has constructed a massive theme park in the sky to pay for his previous misdemeanors, the hero Sonic of course doesn't believe his intent and accompanied by Tails goes up to the park to check it out. The Nintendo DS version of the game allows more characters to get involved compared to the Wii version, but both are action packed and fun.

The aim of the game is to pass through various stages using the featured Wisps or tools to help get round obstacles and enemies. There are 6 different Wisps, for example, the burst wisp to knock out airborne intruders with a fireball, a drill wisp to bore through soft ground, a cyan wisp to allow Sonic to boost around as a laser beam for cutting corners all of which have their distinct colour codes. Sonic also can jump, stomp, attack and slide to help navigate the stages.

Sonic Colours is very well suited for the 5 year olds, the graphics are sharp with the game designers providing the scenes with bright and vibrant colours. The controls are easy to master with a combination of using the console stylus and the X and Y buttons.

The game is well rated so do some research to learn of the features and Sonic Colours specifications to see if appropriate for your child.
