The Hachiko writes: "Many people were worried about the original Mario RPG when it was first released, because surely an established franchise mascot couldn't fit well into the RPG formula. As history has proven, however, that wasn't the case. The latest mascot taking to the RPG circuit is Sonic, starring in his first RPG called Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. It's a strange amalgamation of a game, blending typical Sonic characters with Elite Beat Agents and a little Knights of the Old Republic for good measure. It's an amusing game, but one that is ultimately hampered by its uniqueness.
The story starts out with Sonic and crew having just walloped old Eggman once again, and for a time everything seemed peaceful. Strange things start to occur, however, as Sonic gets word from Tails that Knuckles has gone missing, seemingly been kidnapped by some group called the Marauders, who have even gone so far as to reengage Eggman's old robots for their own nefarious purposes. Will Sonic and team save Knuckles? Will the team get to the bottom of the Marauders?"
