GameTap writes: "While the phrase "it's a Sonic RPG for the Nintendo DS," sounds somewhat preposterous, that is, in all fairness, the best way to describe BioWare's foray into DS game development. Take what you expect from a BioWare role-playing game--the emphasis on narrative, dialogue trees, multiple party members that provide unique dialogue and combat options, numerous side quests, a 20 hour experience--and add, well, Sonic to the mix.
Story-wise, BioWare personnel are being fairly secretive about the story, only disclosing that it will have the requisite twists and turns, and that the story starts off pretty light but soon goes in a darker direction. But right now, all I know is that the story begins with Sonic on vacation and receiving an urgent phone call--which is pretty much how every Sonic game begins."
Despite the fame and popularity of both the studio and the IP in question, not everyone knows that Bioware developed a Sonic RPG prior to them being acquired by EA, Sonic Chronicles for the Nintendo DS, and it was recently detailed in a DidYouKnowGaming video that both Bioware and SEGA were down for a sequel, but it was ultimately canceled for a surprising reason: SEGA was sued for copyright infringement
to be fair tho, the rpg for the DS was a mess.
touchscreen-only was not a good way to make a game like this.
I wish Sega got together with Square and made a Sonic RPG for the Genesis I would have played that.
Just because the first one sucked, doesn't mean Sega should abandon the idea of a Sonic RPG.
