Games Review: Sonic Chronicles: the Dark Brotherhood
DS, Sega, £29.99
Sonic Chronicles – or “Sonicles”, as I can’t help but think of it – marks a departure for our blue-hued friend.
Here, Sonic and co make a foray into the world of RPGs, albeit in a somewhat simplified form. Taking place in a prettily hand drawn world, the game involves using the stylus only, so forget buttons. It offers a mix of exploration and battles, the former being familiar from previous Sonic adventures, the latter, unfortunately, becoming repetitive after the nth time. Still, this is a brave departure, and one that’s worth checking out.
