I've been playing Sonic games since he spun his way onto the Mega Drive, and although I've always loved the Spiky Blue One, his recent outings into 3D have left a lot to be desired. Too many characters have been introduced, the voice-overs on the games are 'Wow dude! Radical!' awful, and most of all, they've stripped away what made Sonic work best: sheer fun.It's odd, then, that Sonic finds a return to form with Sonic Chronicles...an RPG! How can this be? Sonic games are about speed and thrills; RPGs are slow, strategic things.But, amazingly, it works. Developed by the acclaimed BioWare, you always were going to be in good hands, but just how good the final product is is stunning.Gone are the corny voices. You talk on behalf of Sonic. You tell him what to say to others. In other words, you can make him as kind or smarmy as you like.There's a real story going for it, too. Set 'years later', Sonic returns from a round-the-world vacation after defeating Eggman (apparently permanently) to find everyone's getting along just fine without him. All the other characters you've grown to hate have actually grown up: Tails is smart; Amy has a boyfriend; even Big the Cat seems to have gained a few IQ points. BioWare have taken the swollen Sonic roster and really fleshed them out, given them depth and personality, and interacting with them is a real joy. Sometimes, the best moments of the game is simply talking, just seeing how Tails or Amy respond to what you say.There's no escaping this is an RPG, though. It may be reasonably light, sitting somewhere between Pokemon and Final Fantasy, but it is all about levelling up, turn-based battles and a smattering of item management. So why is this game a return to form for Sonic? Because it's pure, unabashed fun. It doesn't try to be cool, rad or 'down wid the kidz'. The game delivers on excitement of progressing, finding a new ally, defeating a tough enemy - just like Sonic used to. I savoured every second I was in this game's company; it was such a delight to play (and even just look at - there's no doubting this is one of the finest looking games on the DS).A few tiny flaws would be that battles are slightly too frequent (though this is a common RPG flaw), and the pre-rendered worlds, gorgeous as they are, are sometimes a bit quirky to navigate as it's had to judge the depth and height of things.But these are minor complaints. This game comes hugely recommended for Sonic fans who pine for a proper game, and it's also serves as a good introduction into the genre of the RPG. But really, I could recommend this to anyone and everyone. Just envision how good this game could be: yes, it's THAT good. Go get it.

I wasn't sure wether this would be average or not seeing as Sonic isn't exactly a character made for RP gaming. I can say though that, it does work in a certain way.The strongest points here are the story and dialogue. Bioware are fantastic in that department, and it shows well here too. Characters are wonderfully portrayed and there are lots of references to older games. This is the first time Knuckles has had the best treatment! Oh, and I love Shade too. She's got a great character design and nice personality. The artwork is neat, the battling is innovative...But there are some downsides too. The music...is TERRIBLE. Sonic music is known to be absolutely brilliant, but this was ear grating.The sound effects were also very cheap and sometimes made no sense (Shadow sounds like a turkey?). The game was also too short, didn't have many interesting side missions and the final boss is hilariously easy.You must admit though that, besides these bad faults and the fact that this is Sonic's first RPG, it's not all THAT bad. It's very good, actually. But remember, it's not really a fast game like previous games, and the Rush series is...definitely better in my opinion. XD

The game is like a lot of other RPG's you start off as one and you build your team along the way. You have turn based battles. A lot of quests and loads of bosses. The BIG NEGATIVE THOUGH IS.... that game is way too short I done all the quests got all the eggs and completed it in under 10 hours. The world is really big but it's just a long road instead of exploring. The game does involve puzzles but nothing too hard. But there is this one puzzle which requires good memory. But it's only five flashing buttons nothing extremely difficult. Another bad thing is that all the strong characters on your team join you near the end of game. Then there's healing moves but they are impossible to do because if you make one mistake you fail it.The game is full of surprises twists and unexpected stuff. Just you wait till you get to the end.... The thing about this game that it would be perfect if it was longer. The game would be like Final Fantasy,Professor Layton and Pokemon put together. Puzzles Turn based battling and a small map. Another thing is that once you go to this place you can never return to your previous places. That's all

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood may look like a kids game with it's cartoon graphics but, trust me this is fairly hard and deep game for any gamer. For people that have played many Sonic games over the years there are lots of cool references and some surprises which will put a smile on your face. The touch screen controls work well and the battle system is well thought out. Most if not all the Sonic characters over the years come into the story some where along the line. The only problem I have with this game is that the three other rpgs that I own on the ds are better which are as follows: Chrono Trigger, The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and Mario And Luigi: Partners In Time.So unless you are mega big Sonic fan and just want a rpg for your ds then I recommend those games more, yet this is still a very good game in it's own right.

Twenty five quid is a lot of money so i can understand why some people feel let down by the slow pace of this game, especially considering it holds the sonic brand. I suggest before purchasing a game you do your research a bit more thoroughly. This is a great game and its not its fault if YOU don't like RPG's. This is a slow paced RPG game made by Bioware. Anyone could tell you that Bioware are known for their RPG games so why do some people still expect a standard sonic platforming romp.Yes this game is slow paced but it also has a great plot, the same sonic characters we know and love and is generally a very involving and deep experience. It reminds you why Baldur's gate is such a classic game.Because it had Bioware behind it all the way. Can't recommend this game enough to someone who is tired of more normal RPGs

I'm a fan of the sonic games since i was a kid. and i can see a lot changes.This game is RPG, and it reminds me of final fantasy games. Although this game is different, it has its own good points. In an RPG like this, we can see more of the characters and look into each one's personality. You will be able to make choices in conversations, decide what you wanna do for the missions, and level up as much as you like. The game is a lot like the animations and there's nothing wrong with that. Very adventurous and fun to play. If u r a fan of Sonic, buy this game.

I really enjoyed this game, after accidentally buying it. It has the right amount of action and storyline to keep it balanced, and I really liked being able to choose what to say. The graphics are good, but I found during battle it occasionally slows down a bit. It can be annoying though, having all the robots and aliens coming up and attacking you, but at least you can flee. Overall a good game, but the final boss is really hard.

great game. well made but normal RPG bugs but overall good game. Storyline one of the better sonic storylines in a long time. If you a sonic fan a good pick and if you like RPG's. Just starting out with the sonic games I say Rent it and see if you like it or not and by the way It's a RPG it mane to be slow must of the times!!

Maybe this sonic game isn't about speed but this game is fun and has a great story line, I have played this game since the first day it came out and I haven't stopped since! This is the best game i ever bought and i will never regret buying it. I couldn't recommend this game more!

Very Different Not your typical Sonic Game. Explore fight and travel alongside a party of 4 characters that can be leveled up and consist of your favorite sonic characters. This Turn-based RPG is very interactive and enjoyable game.
