For those not in the know, a brief run down: Sonic Chronicles is a Sonic the Hedgehog RPG. Sounds crap, right? Especially considering how the series has gone in the last decade. But before you write it off, know that it's being made by Bioware, of Mass Effect and Baldur's Gate fame. These guys know how to make a good RPG."
The Good: Great production values; minimal annoying text
The Bad: Can an interesting story be told in the Sonic 'verse?
The Ugly: Calling Robotnik 'Eggman'. Bah.
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.
