Bioware can stuff this game up were the sun don't shine.This game is nothing more than a bunch of empty promises.
The game starts off pretty good,I mean the intro pretty rocking.However,I hope you take a nice long listen to the intro song,because that's the only half-way enjoyable song in the entire game! I mean what were the music producers doing while working on this game? Getting High? Getting Drunk? Screwing? I'm guessing all of the above! Anyways,as I was saying.....after watching that intro I was thinking "awesome,looks like another step in the direction!"..... Yeah I was a idoit. You begin as Sonic,were our first problem begins,the controls. You have to touch the direction on the touch screen you want to go! Now this may have worked for Zelda,but this isn't Zelda! It's Sonic! Not to mention it worked alot better in Zelda. You also have to press a certain button to spin dash....That's Retarded! Why didn't they just give you the option to use the A and B buttons,along with the D-Pad. It makes no sense!
Getting past the controls and music,we make to Green Hill Zone...which looks and sounds like crap. It looks nothing like Green Hill Zone! Oh and that's another thing wrong with this game,it tries to tug at your Nostalgia strings,but ends up failing at it! It brings Big from SA1 and Heroes in,too bad no one likes him! It tries to tie up Knuckles past,too bad it ends up screwing up his story from SA1 in the process. it tries to recreate Green Hill Zone,but fails! Not to mention the game says "Screw you!" to Sonic logic! Cream's a playable character and did I mention Robotnik fights without weapons....I know pretty stupid,huh?
Moving onto Graphics,they blow.The Rush games looked much better than this! Not to mention the cutscences look like something you'd find on Deviantart! Now onto the main meat of the game,battle system and I'll be fair the battles are some what fun. I mean sure they seem really random at times, and they don't give you enough points for pulling off special moves, and sure they give you way too many health revivals, and sure pulling off the special moves is lame....but it's still a little bit of fun.
In closing Sonic Chronicles sucked.It was a huge let down.Don't buy it,don't even touch it.Get Sonic Unleashed instead,that somewhat helped to mend the damage Chronicles did to me!
5.5/10
