Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

Also known as: Sonic Chronicles, Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood

BioWare's RPG take on Sega's hedgehog mascot is a close brush with greatness. Touch screen combat is satisfying and fun, and the Sonic universe is a joy to explore, but the whole affair is a little bit empty, with zero character development, annoying puzzle and level design, and an overall kiddy feel. There's plenty to love here, but Sonic's Paper Mario this ain't.

There’s a hint of madness to Bioware’s Sonic outing. Just how can an RPG - the most patient genre this side of Microsoft Hedge Simulator - capture the jittery, tarmac-shredding ways of Sega’s blue blur? Sonic’s the Sunny Delight of gaming mascots; RPGs are the stomping grounds for mugs of Bovril. The only grinding he’s heard of involves skateboarding, and XP is merely an emoticon for showing disgust. Spend time » Read Full Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood preview
