Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

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

RSS

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.

When BioWare announced that they had been charged with crafting a Sonic RPG by Sega, eyebrows across the gaming universe shot up. After all, it was just about the most bizarre love affair since the dirty Blue Bomber himself got it on with the human Princess Elise in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). ...

Our first look at Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood explained all the gritty details, but lacked a first-hand account of how it plays.

Mar 19, 2008

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.
