Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood Reviews

The GameDaily One-Minute Review

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for DS faithfully holds to the look of a beloved series that has been too often drug through the mud, and there are plenty of quests and secrets to unlock, but the gameplay recipe feels dated. Little of the BioWare magic for telling an engaging story through impressively written dialogue and deep characters was used, and repetitive battles and too many generic enemies don't help matters. And for a game about a speedy hedgehog, it too often plods along slowly. Still, there's plenty of nostalgia to be had in what amounts to a decent but mostly unspectacular role-playing game that will have you playing as Sonic's ensemble cast of heroes to once again take down the menacing Dr. Robotnik.
