SEGA SHIPS SONIC RUSH

Sonic Returns to His Roots in All-New Side-Scrolling Adventure, Exclusively on Nintendo DS

SAN FRANCISCO (November 15, 2005) - SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced the release of Sonic Rush on the Nintendo DS™. Described by GameSpot.com as "the best Sonic game in nearly a decade", this fast-paced side-scrolling adventure uses both of the Nintendo DS screens in displaying its play field. This setup maximizes the intensity of the game's dizzying dives, near-vertical curves, extreme jumps, and brain-twisting loops.

The fastest hedgehog in the world is now pairing up with a mysterious character named Blaze the Cat. This dynamic duo heads out in search of the powerful and dangerous Sol Emeralds to ensure that they do not fall into the wrong hands. In their quest, Sonic and Blaze must battle all-new enemies, and as they do, ripple effects will change the events of their worlds' inhabitants.

"Sonic Rush combines the gameplay finesse and level design of the classic 2D Sonic titles with fully 3D character models, bosses and effects," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America. "The dual screen playfield on the Nintendo DS makes it easier than ever to follow the action, and the stylus works perfectly with the traditional Chaos Emerald minigames."

Journey with Sonic and Blaze on two separate adventures that intertwine. The storylines and outcomes will differ, keeping you in suspense while doubling up on the fun! Also featuring a 2-player battle mode, 3D bonus stages and unlockable secrets, Sonic Rush is a game that will stay fresh for players long after the game credits have rolled.

Sonic Rush is rated "E" for ‘Everyone' by the Entertainment Software Review Board, and is available at retailers nationwide for an MSRP of $34.95.
