Sonic Lost World
© 2013 Sega
Sonic is fast and fun, in this co-op or competitive two player racing game. We tested the Wii U version. In the story, Dr. Eggman has harnessed the power of six menacing creatures (the Deadly Six). You help Sonic, with new moves and color powers -- vaulting over obstacles, sky diving between islands, and exploding into enemies. Exclusive Wii U features include the ability to tilt, touch and aim; plus two screen play (both on the TV and on the Wii U controller). The 3DS version is the "first handheld Sonic game to feature 3D levels." It is possible to share your gadgets between the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions. Our tester, Corey, said: This game will challenge you with some tricky moves that let you spin and kick, using combinations of keys. I liked the new designs; with surprise in each level but the controls can be hard to learn.
