  • lets pretend all the games between sonic adventure(for its time was great) and sonic colors never happened

  • i actually agree a lot... I've never cared about Sonic or his supporting cast of characters + storyline, the way i've cared about other franchises... Particularly Nintendo...

    You transfer that apathy to an RPG...where it's really important to connect with your party and their story... and you have a slightly below average gameplay imo.

  • i beleave we wanted to know about the games not your opinion of what you give two hoots about

  • yeah... love the game, it's adicting, it just gets too boring once you win and not enough content like he said. still, this game is pretty cool, I hope to hack it and turn sonic into charmy >:D nice reveiw!

  • lol British accents make everything better...

  • mario stepped into rpgs in the 90s.....

  • this game doesn't suck loser...all ds and new 3ds games for sonic rock.

  • this guy is bad reviewing games he gave brawl 8 and unleashed 4... and this game deserves at least 8 in my opinion,

  • i think whilst sonic games for the consoles have been terrible i think all the ds sonic games are really good and there really fun. I think this game was quite good and whilst i dont think it should be 10/10 i do think its another good game by bioware

  • Wow all the sonicfags saying the game deserves a 10/10 lol. The only newer Sonic game that deserved a real good rating was Sonic Colors. It's brainless fans like you people that make me ashamed of liking Sonic.

  • @shadeblackroses definition of a sonic fag: some one who thinks that sonic died after or even before the dreamcast era and think that sonic colors is the only good modern sonic game

    sonic fanboys are what you mean

    and for the record your a sonic fag

  • @girachu852 No, a Sonic Fag is someone who loves Sonic too much and worships all his Games no matter how good or bad they are.

    Sonic has indeed died when Sonic 06 came out. And now Colors and Generations are helping him Revive.

  • @PKMNTrainerTyson I must dissagree sonic '06 was no sonic adventure 3 but it was at least decent i have the game and it is........ok. it is not as bad as everyone thinks it is.

  • sonic get a 1.0000000000000000000000000000­00000000000000000000000000000.­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000.00000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­00000000000000000.000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­00000000

  • @malikdiaz1 I see what u did thar

  • 10/10... because its sonic :P

  • I give it a 7/10, I enjoyed it and I like the references to Sonic Adventure but some of the battles are annoyingly long and I hate the chasing parts.

  • That actually almost completely describes how I feel about the game.

  • Ok having watched 3 of your sonic review's I can say this. You are not an open minded gamer when it comes to sonic. You seem to in general not like him or his friends which makes you not care for his stories or gameplay. The ring collection in any sonic game is not anything to worry about if you at least have one ring. I don't know why that has ever been an issue in a sonic game. "You can't collect rings correctly" BS. The rings don't affect your game completion only your score.

  • I hate people that compare mario whit sonic

    its like comparing a condom whit a house,

    not make sense.

  • @MrShadowxtreme did you just call mario a condom?

  • this game deserves 2/10. -_-

  • @RCTycoonIII no it needs a 8/10

  • sonic rush and sonic adventure is the best game ever

  • @metalsonic71 how is Sonic Colors anyway a rip off a mario galaxy? The only thing similar is that they both take place in space.

  • I love how pretty much only 0.01% of the bad games actually get a rating lower than 6 out of ten.

    No, seriously. YOU think back to when it was the last time you actually saw a rating lower than 60% of the maximum grade. 6/10 is the new 1/10.

  • 6/10 is bad game this one deserves a 8/10

  • bioware sucks

    wiiware sucks

    best games i ever had

    1:sonic free riders(it sucks)

    2:sonic colors(FUCKING SUCKS CAWZ IYTS A RIPEOFF OF SUPA MARIO GALAXAY!

    3:sonic 4(IT SUUCKS CAUSE ITS NOWT CLAZZIC GRAPHICS SUCK COCK AND OF TEH PHYSICS AND ITS 2 FAWKIING EASY!)

    really people i like my own things and if you don't then for fuck sakes don't be like this!

  • @metalsonic71 Why u say its rip of mario galaxy PLZ THINK BEFORE U COMMENT DUMMAS AND LEARN HOW TO WRITE

  • Comment removed

  • @metalsonic71 Nope

    i just want to say wtf did u say that sonic colors copied mario galaxy.

  • @metalsonic71 super mario galaxy makes travel through universes

    sonic colors makes you travel through 5 planets

    mario galaxy has gravity changes up the ass and 85% of the game is flying

    sonic colors 95% of the game is playing

    big ass diference

  • @girachu852 your right.

    but people still don't need to bitch about sonic colors difficulty...kids or not its for E(everyone of all ages and skills)

    and it kicks ass!

  • I quite liked this game as it has a lot of references to older Sonic games, like Sonic Adventure. The characters are well to their personalities and the gameplay is surprisingly good.

    The storyline is, really, not bad at all (SPOILER ALERT: Marauders are not robots, they're all echidnas named Nocturnals). The beginning, however, was like watching a Michael Bay movie. How the hell did Tails bring down the Egg Carrier Mk. II by pulling a few cables?? Alas, that's SEGA for you.

    My rating: 7/10.

  • the only thing this game fails at is capturing the sonic feel, and I'm not talking about speed, I'm talking about the elements that make a good sonic game, like the badniks for example, in mario rpgs you fight the series' classic enemies but why can't you do that in sonic chronicles? I mean, there are swatbots in it (even though they're from the cartoon) but where are the buzzbombers, crabmeats, orbinauts and stuff?

  • bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooo

  • boo

  • I know they cant make a second one, as the personalities are made personal due to the game. But I love this game ^^

  • i don't care about rpg's in general. but i am thinking of making a sonic battle 2 game for ds that i'll send to nintendo. i want to add some interesting characters, and no rpg's

  • i already completed the game,its good,but the music,scenes and map could have been better

  • i ordered it

  • wow I just noticed the typo lol

  • Well I do give "Two Hoots" about sonic and his friends xD

  • I think it deserves at least a 7, because it's a great game in my opinion.

    BTW, Mario's first RPG was Super Mario RPG, not Paper Mario. Seriously...

  • this game was amazing :O

  • It said Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Chronicles in the beginning.

  • lololol amy got a boyfriend XD

  • It says sonic chornicles the dark chronicals... Not brotherhood! XD

  • nevr make the british review an RPG

  • This game roxx hes just jelouse i this game is so fun im deciding to beat the game a fourth time

  • this game needs 9/10!!

  • Lets look for treasure.

    :¬[

    ]∟:

  • I can't say rather or not sonic belongs in an RPG, however I didn't like this game specifically because it shoves the stylus down your throat. I found it awkward to control and even more difficult to see when you have a stick obstructing your view. Its too slow for me especially being a sonic game and the fact that you do use the stylus makes action and reaction time piss. Had it had the option to use either the stylus or the D-pad, I might give it a better rating.

  • dude this guy hates sonic... this is complete bull, i really want this game...........

    besides this game actually answers some major questions about the sonic universe

    so dont you give me this "bad story" shit.

  • Ugh, it looks like they let a little kid draw the background.

  • @SakuraAvalon I think the watercolor-esque backgrounds are pretty good, honestly.

  • I don't like this game much either is too "sonic x" style

  • Its "Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood" not "Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Chronicles" (0:08-0:12).

  • >turn based combat

    >sonic

    wut

  • SNES won and Genesis lost. Lets get over it. These people need to stop giving decent to good Sonic games poor ratings.

  • the gameplay looks like final fantasy 7

  • hey you typed Sonic Chronicles The Dark Chronicles

  • i can't really think of anyone to recommend this to. sonic fanboys aren't likely to love this game, because it feels nothing like a sonic game. seriously, where is the speed? the combat is so slow, and kinda clunky.

    it's a passable game, but the mario RPG's and the pokemon games are WAY BETTER, in every way.

  • finally, a sonic game review from gamesweasel that doesn't suck.

    i do admit that he is an anti-sonic fanboy, but what he said about the story was kinda true in a way. it should've been presented with CG cutscenes like final fantasy IV. the plot isn't really intriguing. you have to absolutely love sonic in order to enjoy the story.

    it IS a good game, just not a super great one.

  • @nerftendo005

    True. Sonic chronicles

    got a 75% average rating.

  • @nerftendo005 it's made by BioWare dude, and don't go playing favorites to Nintendo it's not right dude.

  • @allyzado I know that BioWare made it, I wasn't talking about this game when I was complaining about Sega's gimmicks.

    And I'm not a Nintendo fanboy at all. Take a look at my comments on IGN's Sonic Colors review if you don't believe me.

  • i hate the way people give sonic low rateings and mario high ones its all favortisim to me -__-

  • it's cuz sega tends to implement gimmicks into their sonic games that mesh badly with the core gameplay (cough, werehog, cough). however, i agree that reviewers like Hilary Goldstein (from IGN) and Gamesweasel are being totally unfair. Especially Gamesweasel, who doesn't care for sonic games at all!

  • thanksi like the werehog only if his levels were shorter

  • OK DUDE SONIC IS AWSOME I LOVE SONIC I HATE MARIO!!!So i do not care wat u say about sonic!

  • 6/10 my butt.

  • @blitzsonicforever The score fits, it was too easy, had bad gameplay and the story was downright shit.

  • @satansam It had the gameplay of any other RPG, how does it have bad gameplay if it's like every other RPG?

  • @allyzado Are other RPG's too easy? Do they have retarded touch screen controls? No.

  • @nerftendo005 I wasn't talking to you, no go fuck yourself

  • @allyzado Still, I'm not a Ninty fanboy like you claim me to be. :)

  • @nerftendo005 Then what kind of fan are you?

  • @allyzado I'm a fan of both franchises, but recent games in both are either disappointing or just overrated. For example, people consider Super Mario 64 to be one of the best games ever, but I have it, and it's SO boring compared to the Galaxy games (which I REALLY like). I wouldn't even place SM64 as one of the top 20 N64 games; in fact, I don't even think that the game is great.

    Bowser's Inside Story slightly disappointed me, it was REALLY easy.

    Mario & Sonic are WAY better in 2D than 3D IMO.

  • @nerftendo005 In fact, I really want Sonic Colors, I'm just not sure if I'm getting it anytime soon, since I care more about buying PS3 games; I don't like pulling my Wii out of the closet when its non-casual games aren't nearly as fun as the PS3's.

  • @nerftendo005

    Lol, no.

  • @Sonicrega ???

  • @nerftendo005

    What you think is disappointing, others might not, it's all opinion. Like for example, I don't see why you think Super Mario 64 isn't great. It brought up a new camera system, and it had a vast amount of levels. PLUS it's controls and story were awesome. What're you, TRYING to be different? Because I'm seeing that a lot these days.

  • @Sonicrega Here's the thing:

    Super Mario Galaxy was the first game that I bought for my Wii. I also got a 2000 Points Gift Card, so I decided to use it on Super Mario 64 for the VC.

    I loved Super Mario Galaxy. I would play it an hour a day, and constantly keep on playing it ever day. While with Super Mario 64, I would OCCASIONALLY play it for 15 minutes.

    64 was just so boring compared to Galaxy, it felt like too much on an objective-based platformer, and the camera & controls felt pretty clunky.

  • @nerftendo005

    BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TO IMPLEMENT THAT CAMERA FUNCTION FOR MARIO! Can I just ask...when you got SM64 for the VC...was it your first time playing SM64?

  • @Sonicrega That's my point. It was extremely revolutionary at the time, but it hasn't that well. People say that it's one of the greatest games of all time, but I still say that the 2D ones are so much better, because even today, Super Mario Bros. 3 & Super Mario World are outstanding platformers.

    And no, it wasn't my first time playing. I played it on the DS, prior to that.

  • @nerftendo005

    Ok, but tell the truth have you played it on the Nintendo 64?

    Also, yeah, the Super Mario Bros. 2D games including (for me especially) Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3 were like, the coolest. But that has nothing to do with Super Mario 64 being one of the greatest games ever. Just saying.

  • @Sonicrega There's nothing that I consider truly remarkable about it, today. I accept that it was totally amazing back then, but so many 3D platformers released afterwards have done it so much better.

    While I can't think of ANY precision-based 2D platformer AT ALL that even holds a candle to SMB3 & SMBW. (I say "precision-based" because the Sonic trilogy on the Genesis was also awesome, but it isn't precision-based, it's speed-based).

  • @nerftendo005

    I do agree though with the whole Super Mario Bros. 3/Super Mario World thing. They were, and still are my favorite 2D Mario Platformers ever.

  • @allyzado

    You must have no standards or idea of quality if you believe every other RPG ever plays like this. Have you even played a FF game?

  • BioWare did a good job with this one. There's even references to the old Sonic cartoon show.

  • @thejobloshow Considering the crappy source material, I think that BioWare, indeed, did a good job. I still don't think it's a very good game, though.

  • sick i needed an rpg for the ds !! im starting to like sonic to (tails is awsome though)

  • good review

  • Because of biowares past games and greatness i picked it up...Sure if you have played hardcore rpgs this isnt for you but hey still setting everything aside i still thought it was pretty good.

  • So now they even have a Sonic RPG...why not a Zelda RPG? Because honestly I think the Sonic RPG was a pretty tight idea, minus the cartoony atmosphere that is.

  • that guy playin sucked lol

  • I'm 13 and a fan of sonic so i might get this along when i get my DSi =]

  • sonic games 2007 to 2009 isnt worth buying sonic chronicals is okay not great but not worth buying but worth renting it has no new ideas and sonic just is so mediocre now

  • WHAT??? have you even PLAYED sonic unleashed???, Sonic rivals 2???, Sonic and Mario at the olympic GAMES??? ALL amazing games, so shut up butthole...

  • Buthole??? HAhahHAHAHAHh ahah aahhahah Little kid shut up

  • you know what? fuck off asshole. Your probably the 8 year old kid whose MOMMY grounds him for swearing himon the internet. CUNTHOLEY MOTHERFUCKING BITCHY LITTLE CUNTY ASSHOLE MOTHERFUCKEING BITCHY SHIT FACED COCK!!!!!

    yeah... im a little kid!(sarcastic)

  • You are a little kid! hahah fail sauce. Listen to your fag comeback. Fucking pickle smoochers like you deserve to get cocked slap but some niggers big old honking pee pee.. Kid get the fuck off the internet and stroke your macaroni

  • you need to calm down mate

  • i didnt really like sonic unleashed grunt... the wolf stages took forever and sonic stages (except for last ones) i found quite easy...

  • hmm... Grunt... ya know, no one has ever called me that before... i like it!

    Anyways, I agree with you about the wolf stages... but other than that I liked the Sonic stages! (then again, I just like going fast on games!)

  • I dont know i thought they were fairly good unless you played the wii/ps2 version which only certain people like.

  • will the ps2 version i know is heroes which i got a while ago (i can only play it once every other week) and i am almost done, the secret rings was decent black knight made my arm sore for a week and unleashed was easy for headgehog and hard for were hog...... thats what i think of the games lol

  • ah okay but the only single part i thought was hard for both was eggmanland now that place is a true sonic final stage.

  • yah..... that one took my like 6 lives to finish it, then i found out that there was a timed version.....

  • calm down gruntcrossing, its just a game

  • triforce: most likely he's referring to the first nocturnus soldier you fight.

  • This game first of all isn't that easy. Second it's really good. You earn new abilities you can't really buy them with rings.

  • i cant get past the first boss im trying to look for help who wants to help me

  • Whats the first boss? I forgot...

  • that weird black suited guy with 80 hp i think

  • The marauder? Just load up with pow candy. Just use your pow moves like crazy.

  • this guy is gay sonic rocks hes cool

  • omg i HATED THIS GAME

  • lol its super mario rpg not paper mario

    you obviously were born before 1996

  • wow this guy has a strange accent.

    This is actually a good game. The best since Sonic Adventure 2. Wait why is he reviewing this game is he doesn't like sonic? ALso a 6/10!?! This game deserves an 8/10 at least!

  • yeah i agree i think they should get someone that likes sonic to review it then they'll have a different story

  • why? it has nothing new its to easy and doesnt compare to other rpg's and the stylest moves are confusing

  • Nothing new in terms of gaming or sonic? Because if you don't consider a sonic RPG new then i can't fathom what you're talking about. It can be very hard on the first playthrough. I died multiple times. It was never meant to be compared to other RPG's because it's almost nothing like them, seriously when i played this game i didn't find it all that similar to other RPG's, aside from the buying new equipment and leveling up which weren't very big components.

  • if you dont care about sonic why make a review of him why be so biased ?

  • This game deserves: at least 8/10!

  • The most ridiculous part of this game is the fact that they make you watch the 35 second full motion video every time you boot up the game (you can't bypass it). It's not even all that great.  And when you close your DS, it restarts it over again.

    Also, has any one else experiences a glitch were the music stops playing?

  • you can get past that by tapping the DS during the video.

  • Oh, I didn't try that; in fact, I tried everything but that, thanks. I rented it from Blockbuster Video actually and it didn't have instructions.

  • look gay why did sega make and rpg sonic game it should be about speed

  • I totally agree. It's not great, but it's still good and worth a look. Great review

  • Mario came into RPGs with Super Mario RPG, not Paper Mario.

  • Thank you! Ugh freakin guy doesnt know what hes talking about

  • @TheHeadlessOne lol apparently he thought the thousand year door was before the legend of the 7 stars

  • couldnt have said it better my self -.-

  • Thank you.

  • u dont know what u talkin bout this game rocks!!! u suck :P

  • my brother has that he is 9 he finished it sooo easily trust me it sucks xD

  • how can we trust you if you havnt played it -.-

  • you can't

  • That Sucked^^ Now see if you can tell what I'm talking about?

  • that was the most un-informative review i've ever seen...

  • Mario RPG and Paper Mario are way better then this. It's just so much funner then just playing a sonic RPG game on a DS. It's much more harder too and thats what makes a good game.

  • not... *sticks tongue out*

  • Ha ha yeah right! XP

    Sonic only got's one RPG..Wow lolz.

  • Once again, GameWeasel strikes with a pathetic review!

  • "Robots from other dimensions."

    "Just as Mario stepped into the RPG world race with Paper Mario"

  • that is soooo funny!

  • Cuddly? Let's see YOU try to go out and hug a hedgehog!

  • "Robots from another dimension"? Ummm...did he REALLY play this game?

    Anyways, I loved this game. Most turn-based RPG's get rather dull for me after a little bit, the EBA style mini-games really helped me keep my interest.

  • i am just geting in to sonic and i hope i like it

  • How could somebody not like Sonic?

    His 1991 game was legendary, and a vastly superior game to Mario's.

  • Supposing said person never played 2d sonics, the dislike would probably be high. :P

    I however, completely agree with you. I just dont care for the newer stuff.

  • was it still is dont care what people say i just like sonic games

  • Mmm I thought Mario World was better than Sonic 1, though Sonic 3 is the shit!

  • This game blew me away

  • 8/10

  • such a stupid review. as usual, all the same footage repeated and make the game look like its for babies.

  • Yeah... have you heard the sound effects?

    It IS for babies.

  • lol judgeing a game by its sound effects? if you haven't noticed in the past 20 years, games dont have realistic sound effects...

  • If you haven't noticed in the past 20 years, many games use recorded real life sound effects. :P

  • Im not going to take anyone seriously seeing as you said mario "recently" dived into the RPG when he did that back on the SNES with square.

    FAIL =]

  • What??? Its not a 6/10. its 10/10. I like it

  • People tend to knock off a point or 3 when it has "Sonic" in the title. I thought the game was excellent.

  • I agree with you there, but I have not played it... I hope to be getting it soon though

  • my lil bro loves sonic an my mom bought the game for him...i like sonic but im not addicted to it and i picked up that game an at first i was like wow this easy an then it got a lil interesting wer i just to finish the game an its kinda addicting..not so much fun but u cant help not tryin ova an ova to beat the final boss ..dont want to say that kids game ownd ur ass or anything but the game will get a lil fun or addicting o.o

  • i want a new ds game i like games like mario kart paper mario is this worth buying

  • no way it's not 6/10 i'd give it a 9 seriously it's a rly gd game!

  • the hell. this games a 8. the thing i dont like about your reviews is that you base games on difulcuty and compare them to any other game thats out. this isnt as good as final fantasy so you give it a bad review. it ticks me off becouse this is a great game you shouldnt miss out on. you not once said any thing was bad other then the diffulcity and story. that should only bring a game down 1 or 2 points but 4 just for that is retarted

  • 6? 8! damn it

  • Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Chronicles?

    0:08

  • well spoted

  • Ty :3

  • same i gave this game a 7

  • wow hes trying to talk about how good the game is but he dosent like it. HELLO! WHY ARE YOU REVIEWING IT THEN? >=/

  • Yeah! It deppends on the person~!

  • the game is cheap I mean the bosses are usually having guards with them

  • and you have a party of 4 ppl. go figure
