Sonic and friends fit just great in the turn-based RPG realm!
As most Sonic fans im sure have, I have been worried where this series was going. I haven't enjoyed a sonic game since the Sonic Mega Collection came out. I have been paitently waiting for something great. And Sonic Chronicles is that great game.
This game is really easy to pick up and play. There isnt alot of dumb text to read and you can save where and when ever you want! which to me, is a plus in an RPG. The characters are all ones we know, and hopefully love.
I really enjoyed the battle system. The POW moves are your specials. And they require you to do series of things with the stylus. And alot of times you can dodge an enemy attack by doing there special with the commands on the screen with the stylus. Its super fun and keeps you in the battle constantly paying attention.
Also you collect Chaos that you can equip for extra effects in battle. thats pretty sweet, and they are cute! Haha.
Also the amount of characters you have to choose from is pretty big. I had trouble picking characters. I wanted to use almost everyone! Except Rouge, they coulda made her a bit better.
The one and only problem I have with it is the story. Its pretty lame. Its like, bad guy has Chaos Emeralds and is gonna destroy things. its just your typical Sonic story.
With that said, if your looking for a good Sonic game or just a fun turn-based RPG this is the game you need.
