Sonic Chronicles is an interesting experiment, and from the game's cliffhanger ending, a sequel is clearly in the works. Hopefully it will fix this game's touch screen controls and other frustrating combat issues. The storyline, art direction, and world exploration are top-notch here, but the tiresome combat sucks the life out of an otherwise enjoyable adventure. The Sonic faithful will like this one, but everyone else can be safely assured that they aren't missing much.
