Sonic and the Secret Rings -- Null and Void.

What a shame Sonic and the Secret Rings turned out to be. The good graphics, decent yet goofy hard rock music, and the game's mission based structure actually work. The great sense of speed is there. Everything you want about a Sonic game is there except acceptable controls. The controls just kill the game entirely. They're broken. They do not work. Companies need to take notice. This is not how you set the controls for a Wii game. Do not build your games around the gimmick of the Wii. Everything would have been fine if they had only included the option for traditional controls. I will never finish this game because I can't bring myself to suffer the controls a second longer. I'm now concerned about Super Paper Mario as it has some 3D functionality and also only uses the Wii Remote without the Nunchuck.
