About the story
"Dr. Eggman has discovered the supercharged element ragnium on the mythical Island of Ragna Rock. He mines it as a fuel source, piping off the messy by-products of the operation to adjacent islands, creating fire and ice gameplay. Using this fuel to power his ultra-fast bot racers is his latest plan to discredit his eternal rival Sonic, but backed by ragnium, fire and ice, a robot army, and D-Fekt, an unflinchingly powerful henchman, this time Dr. Eggman just may succeed. Sonic and friends must re-claim each island by destroying enemies, vanquishing the Island Defender, winning rival races, and reversing the flow of the elemental tubes. It all culminates with an epic battle on the Island of Ragna Rock where Sonic may just have to save Dr. Eggman from his own creation."

Critic Reviews
IGN Spain
By Jose A. RodríguezSonic tries to reconquer the throne, but this is not his best attempt. Fire & Ice brings back the speed levels, but the special arcade sections are inconsistent and technically insufficient. Only for the biggest fans of the blue hedgehog.
CGMagazine
By Elias BlondeauIt’s not quite the next big step that some may want, but Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice is nevertheless a fun, funny little platformer that’s a worthwhile romp for fans of the genre.

By Giovanni CalgaroSonic boom is a side scrolling platformer designed for a young public, that suffers from a linear level design, flat and fairly anonymous.
Areajugones
By Álvaro GiménezSonic Boom: Fire & Ice is a complete and entertaining game that brings back Sonic to the right way. However, there are some elements and issues that do not have a possitive effect on its gameplay.
GameSpot
By Cassidee MoserSonic Boom: Fire & Ice is an enjoyable if easy platformer with a good sense of speed and a handful of fun mini-games.
