We've finally managed to get our hands on the first shots of Sonic Wild Fire, the new Sonic game that's currently in development for Wii.
Our hands-on with Sonic Wild Fire revealed that the game makes full use of the Wii remote. To guide Sonic through the level, you must hold the remote horizontally - like a set of handlebars - and tilt it left or right to steer him. To slow him down you must tilt the remote towards yourself; button 2 on the Wii-mote is used to jump and this can be combined with a thrust forward to execute Sonic's spinning attack.
In the shots on the right you can see a more sedate platforming bit with Sonic attempting to collect coins while avoiding some huge spikes. As Sonic teeters on the ledge the Wii controller is titled in time with his movements in order to get him to the end safely.
Wild Fire - currently the game's working title - is Sonic's first solo outing since the original Sonic the Hedgehog released for Mega Drive 15 years ago. It sees the prickly one trying to recreate the lost pages of an Arabian Knights story book which means the levels have a certain Arabic look to them, with colourful mosaics and oases.
