Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood- Nintendo DS (Nintendo DS Games)

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood was developed for the Nintendo DS by Bioware, a company with a reputation for crafting deep and complex games. It isn't as compelling as previous Bioware efforts, but Sonic Chronicles is a solid role-playing game...

Bioware knows how to craft a compelling RPG but Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood lacks the depth and complexity of its previous titles. As such, its simplistic gameplay and story will definitely appeal to younger gamers but more mature gamers...

This was a collaboration that a lot of Sonic fans were looking forward to – the blue hedgehog and his large roster of friends (and enemies) in a game created by RPG specialists BioWare. Can Sonic cut it in the world of hidden dice rolls and grinding?

The stylus controls of the DS and the ability to save anywhere make this a very portable game. The game mechanics are easy to learn too. The story is fun without being too deep, and the only major negative point is the repetitive nature of the...

Sonic's first foray into the role-playing realm is a laudable effort, but it ultimately falls short of its potential.

Nails the Sonic universe ; Excellent presentation ; Very player-friendly

Boring, shallow fetch quests and objectives ; Dull storyline ; Arduous, slow battles

Super Sonic?

Welcome to the nightmare that is being a Sonic The hedgehog fan

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for DS Review - If you're a Sonic fan Chronicles really is an essential purchase.

As a child, I absolutely adored Sonic the Hedgehog. He was cool, he was fast and his games were pioneering, alongside his arch rival Mario (who was a plumber, so it's not like he could be that cool anyway). The problem was as Sonic got older he turned...

In conclusion, this game could only really be suitable for Sonic fans and younger gamers. Sonic aficionados will love a change of pace and a slight return to form for the blue spikey wonder. It also forms a fantastic introduction to the RPG world for...

Since SEGA knocked the world flat on its ass and announced a BioWare-developed Sonic RPG back in June 2007, a lot of crazy stuff has happened. The credit crunch has plunged our nation into a form of recession, Spain won an international football...

Considering the initial shock of a Sonic RPG, and the potential, I think that SC could've been a bit better in most aspects but TDB definitely lays solid foundations for the probable sequel. It really is an RPG but delivered Sonic style; fast and fun.

It's tough being a company mascot. After firmly establishing himself as an indestructible pop culture icon in the 90s, SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog has since been trundled out for a quick buck time after time, be it to play tennis, or even ride hover...

Bioware and Sonic are, on paper, somewhat of a curious mixture, rather in the line of Stephen Fry penning a sublime dry comedy and then having Big In The Nineties hero Noel Edmonds stepping up into the main role. On one hand we have the folks behind...
