Chronicles does not live up to the rest of the franchise, but it is still a game worth playing

User Rating: 7 | Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood DS
Sonic Chronicles is a well thought out game, but it lacks so many things that made its predecessors shine. The game starts out in the old Green Hill zone where Sonic receives a call from Tails saying Knuckles has been kidnapped by someone who has also stolen the master emerald. The storyline itself just isn't really worth going back and playing again unless you have nothing better to do or you just want to complete all of the side quests. The battles are sort of hard and can really frustrate you at times such as when you use some of your POW moves. The game relies a bit too much on the touch screen and not at all the buttons, D-pad, or the microphone. Every character has something unique about them that enables them to do certain actions in the game and help you reach your objective faster. But if you really want to buy this game, don't let this review stop you from doing so.
