SCTDB Is the newest sonic game to hit the DS.Will It Whrilwind to the top or fallshort of its potential?
Story-It has a very childish story, the begging is its 2 years in the future and everyone enjoying the peace know that theve defeated Dr.Robotnic and his stupid robpt thingys Until one day tails calls sonic up and tells him to come home because knuckles was kidnapped. Sonic returns and is greeted with a battle with a maruder a dark robot thing he defeats it with amys help.They return to station square meet rouge and the story starts from there when they have to free knuckles but also find the mystery of whats happening to the animals that have gone mad and the reason Robotnics robots are appering.
Its a story where only a child would be guessing what would happen next its easily predictable and in a RPG thats not good and its really short..but then again this is bioware not squareinx.

Gameplay-The gameplay is alright,its touch screen only even for a jump you can press the L+R button to interact with stuff but to move just touch the screen the upper screen shows the map in the hub worlds the bottom is where you move and choose a action in battle, you can have 4 characters in your party at all times and at the begining you get ,im right of the bat."Magic" in this game are reffered to a goofy term called "POW moves" and the POW moves are hard to get used to to use them its just not selecting the action and using PP, you get this wierd line and you have to keep your stylus/finger on it as it slides up down or curves new players and older ones will get frustrated with this metod with lining the stylus (or finger) on the little circle and accidently sliding of will result in a weakened or failed POW move.But on chapter 2 you should be able to get used to it.Know combat is just selecting the "Attack" option and attacking the foe defending is the same as same with items.But with fleeing you must switch to a side scrolling mini game where you must jump over boxes to escape which is VERY simple same with catching a fleeing enemy.Next the Characters, Bioware promised to go back all the way of sonics history but from the characters they gave you it looked like they only went back to sonic heroes! You get sonic,tails,amy,knuckles,eggman,shadow,rouge,omega,cream,and big the cat.Sound familer?THESE GUYS WERE ALL IN SONIC HEROES. AND THEY DIDNT ADD CHARACTERS LIKE CHAOS OR WELL I DUNNO METAL SONIC OR WHY NOT SILVER ?Anyway past that thats all there is to the fighting system.

Learning Curve-Its takes some time to get used to the pow moves as explained in gameplay but this is a nice start for people who want to get into sonic.
