Amazon.com Review:
Sony and Sega always have had a way of looking at successful Nintendogames and saying, "We can do that!" (See Crash Team Racing, for oneexample.) Now, Sega has all but copied Mario Party and produced its ownversion of a digital board game, which features the Sonic cast of characters.
Sonic Shuffle, as it's known, easily could have been called SonicParty, because of the countless similarities between it and the Nintendotitle. Players move from space to space--going after Precioustones (instead ofstars), collecting rings along the way (instead of coins), and participating inminigames (same for both). As an added twist, characters also get into cardbattles with monsters, à la Pokémon.
Unfortunately, the minigames in Sonic Shuffle are painfully uninspiredand frequently un-fun. Also, players are forced to sit through battles betweenthe computer and the computer. The fact that four can play is a plus; but, onthe whole, this one's just a pretender to the throne. --Robb Guido

- Mario Party with the Sonic name on it
Before I wanted this, I expected this to be a fun, entertaining experience.Instead, I got this: bad AI, boring gameplay, and only 8 playable characters.I expected more out of Sonic Shuffle.
On paper, Sonic Shuffle is great:picking out cards, moving to spaces, and getting the most Precious Stones.In practice, it is the opposite.This is a very boring game, and with the AI, they can be very hard to beat, even on the Easy difficulty setting.The game's story is horrible:A fairy ...

Rating: - Its mario party, just messed up
Well I havent got much to say escept for what the title says I played the first world it seemed like mario party but to me the cards are an annoying way of moving I liked blocks better, and
the minigames arent that great, some are fun like tag and he eggman legs one
but thats all i have to say
Rating: - Sonic Shuffle Review !
If you are a huge Sonic fan you will like this game but it probably won't be your favorite. I myself am a huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan and I think this game is okay. If you like Mario Party it's like the same thing only it's a lot slower, a few mini games and a bunch of crap you don't want to deal with. If you want my opinion stick with the Sonic Adventure games and if you still want to by Sonic Shuffle try to buy it under seven dollars !

- Please remake this game!
The reviewers who gave this game 1 star are both right and wrong. This game is related to Mario Party (Involving winning or losing rings, using special power-ups, playing mini-games, etc.) But I think it's a lot better. It involves Sonic and his friends in the dream world, saving 5 special dreams from the evil Void. However, they get to move across the board with cards. There are cards labeled 1-6, the awesome Special cards, and the tricky Eggman cards. Also, the reviewers forgot to mention that this ... Read More
