I finished Sonic Rush today (with all the Emeralds). What can I say about this one? I'll get the bad out of the way first. The story was full of cheesiness and elementary dialogue. Also, despite the game being similar to the genesis versions the music will be no where near as memorable (I found myself humming the boss fight music from Sonic 2 despite having just beaten a boss in Rush).
However, the game still kicked major ass. The zones had a good mix of speed and minor platforming; each stage kept a good pace. The bosses were huge and being that I am such a Metroid junkie I found myself liking this. I'm quite surprised that the game is an early title in the DS library because it was very pretty and ran smoothly (no framerate dips that I noticed). Blaze is probably my favorite new character since Knuckles...I hope to see more of her. Lastly, the trick system was basic but a good addition over the genesis games. I loved using the super boost/fire boost techniques a lot so to see the tricking (your source of "fuel" for boosting) done well is a plus.
Where will I go now? Well, I remembered that a little game called Metroid Prime Hunters exists so I hope to find that somewhere. Until then...who knows.
