This game does have it's flaws, but that doesn't mean that it's not good. In fact, it's a somewhat addicting RPG.
User Rating: 7 | Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood DS
The Sonic series has been around since 1991, and since the release of Shadow's self-titled game back in 2005, let's be honest, the series has really gone down the drain. This especially showed when Sonic 06 came out and Sonic Team lost such a chunk of it's fanbase. I was almost one of them to leave the fanbase, but Secret Rings and the Rush series were there to prevent that. Now, on to Chronicles. To be honest, I was a little bit unsure whether or not I should buy this game. At the price tag of $35, and being a recent Sonic game, I came very close to buying a different game, Kirby Super Star Ultra to be exact. But I took a chance and bought this game. And quite frankly, I was very impressed. There were a few things I was dissapointed at, though, such as the animation when going to a different area. Sonic just looks very odd when he's running from one place to the next. Another thing is the in-battle animation after you win the battle. I know that it is a Sonic game, but the characters look a little bit too cartoonish. The final complaint I have at this game is the music. I actually have my DS muted when playing this game, the music is just that horrible, and that shocked me, considering that Sonic games have always had an amazing soundtrack, just look at Sonic 06. The story is a bit confusing, and why they decided to make Knuckles smart all of a sudden is beyond my understanding. But the gameplay is what matters the most to me, and it's plain awesome. It's like Pokemon in a sense, only with more characters attacking at a time and with, of course, Sonic characters. I myself have always been a fan of the Pokemon video games, so when I saw how identical the gameplay was, I was overjoyed. Overall, I would reccomend this game to any RPG fan or any Sonic fan. If you're not a fan or either, then don't bother with this game. This game isn't the best of the best, but it's definetially not the worst. Trust me, that one goes to Sonic R.
