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.

Our first look at Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood explained all the gritty details, but lacked a first-hand account of how it plays. Last week we were able to take part in a tour of the game's earliest area, the legendary Green Hill Zone, and can now shed a bit more light on BioWare's grand RPG experiment.Sonic and Tails are together right from the beginning, already on a quest to find Knuckles.

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
