So I am a big fan of the sonic series, and this new game for the D.S. set me back only 35 bucks. It was really fun at first, such as the party system, the tricks you can do, and the leveling. But what was really bad was the fights. The Enemy groups were represented as a single character, and you could run around and try to avoid them. It was similar to the battle system of Spectrobes. That wasn't so bad, but it was the length of the battles that made it sooo hard to play. And every ten steps there was a battle that took two minutes or longer. I think (and hope) that they will fix that in a sequel if Sega lets them. I'm not sure how much control Sega has over Sonic Team, but I think maybe they were pushing them to do an RPG. I would Really recomend this game for rent, and if you play 45 minutes a day you could probablly beat it before its due. The difficulty is nice, because it's not too hard or easy. You have to beat it twice to get the full ending, and beating it the second time can get kind of boring. You level up nice, though, because you are allowed to pick what you want to focus on, like say making tails super weak but an unstopable defence. I give this game a 7 out of ten, or a B+. Go rent it at the least but I say buy it. Oh, and there is a chao garden, but it's kinda stupid because you cant interact, train, or even name your chao. It adds nothing to the game. If you agree, I'll add you and you can add me. Cynder2
