Sequel to Critically-Acclaimed Sonic Rush is now in Development
SEGA Europe Ltd. and SEGA of America Inc. today announced the
development of Sonic Rush Adventure for the Nintendo DS system. Sonic
Rush Adventure will seamlessly utilise both screens of the Nintendo DS
to navigate the high seas in search of pirate treasure, delivering
Sonic's classic high-speed 2D gameplay in the ultimate Sonic handheld
experience. Developed by SEGA Studios, Sonic Rush Adventure for the
Nintendo DS will be available in Autumn 2007.
Sonic returns to
the Nintendo DS in an all-new frantic adventure complete with dizzying
dives, near vertical curves and brain twisting loops. Sonic Rush
Adventure will retain the DS action that fans loved so much from Sonic
Rush, as well as providing a new high seas adventure where Sonic
clashes with ruthless pirates. Players will set off from Windmill
Village as Sonic and blast their way through seven action-packed and
widely diverse levels. Sonic Rush Adventure will make full use of the
DS Download Play feature and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, which enables
gamers to compete with friends in wireless racing and mission-based
battles.
Guide Sonic through numerous action stages in the fast
and furious single player mode, whilst collecting valuable items and
materials that enable Sonic and Tails to track down the villainous
pirates. With a fleet of up to five ships, including a submarine, water
bike and hovercraft, Sonic Rush Adventure uses the Touch Screen
technology in exciting new ways. Use the Nintendo DS Stylus to help
control vessels as they race across the ocean gathering rings,
performing tricks, and torching pirate boats, whilst engaging in fierce
ship-to-ship battles. At the end of each level, epic 3D boss battles
spanning both screens will test gamers skills to result in an ultimate
showdown with the evil boss character, Captain Whisker.
Sonic
Rush Adventure allows players to bounce, fly, swing, ride and run
through grand environments of lush forests, an ominous ghost ship, snow
covered mountains, pirate villages and a vast underwater sea cave.
Along the way there will be a variety of enemy characters to battle
against including robots, skeleton warriors, pterodactyls, and a
robotic triceratops.
