Tom Phillips reports:
''Sonic, in Green Hill Zone, collecting rings, defeating bad guys... but what's this? Levelling up? Turn-based battles?! The whole world has gone topsy-turvy... and its great! Players take control of Sonic via the DS' stylus, pointing where you want him to go - very similar to the controls of Link in Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.
The title's story initially concerns the kidnapping of Knuckles, with a wider threat being the appearance of a mysterious new race named the Zoah. The game world, in which players begin once again located in the classic Green Hill Zone, is largely 2.5D. Sonic and other characters are rendered in 3D as they move around pre-rendered toon-style 2D backgrounds. If you approach one of the many enemies moving around the map (wild animals, evil sentry bots, etc.) then you enter the battle mode, which is in comparison completely 3D.''
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.
