My very first video review coming soon, and Sonic Cronicles!

Introduction:

The upcoming weeks for me will be a little bit of a Sonic week. A video review of a Sonic game released in the past, and my thoughts on the new Sonic RPG are all detailed in this blog.

Super Sonic Topic! 1:

Shadow The Hedgehog Video Review

In honour of Sonic Cronicles: The Dark Brotherhood coming out, I figured to review a past Sonic game in the past, in order to show my eagerness for the game. I decided to review Shadow The Hedgehog for the PS2. The reason why I am reviewing Shadow is because the slating of this game both from Sonic fanboys and video game journalists is a tad unfair. Shadow does do a sizeable amount of things right, but also sadly does do a lot wrong to only make it an average affair. Coming soon!

Super Sonic Topic! 2:

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

With the new Sonic RPG (Dark Brotherhood) coming out, I had mixed points of view towards the very first role-playing adventure for everybody's favourite blue hedgehog. Whilst I have no problems with Sonic trying out a new genre, I am worried about the multitude of storylines that is going to proceed through the game. I am worried it will reach the same problems most Sonic narratives have suffered from; overarching the themes too much, then it becomes too silly and complex to follow, Sonic on the PS3 shows that example highly clearly. I hope the plots have the same depth of the Sonic Adventure series, and is epic, yet busy yet also relatively simple to follow too.

I do hope Sonic RPG does have the same energy of the earlier Bioware RPGS, and tieing in with the much loved trademarks of Sonic, e.g. the speed. I am worried Bioware may not understand the trademarks fully, and the gameplay considerably could turn broken.

Despite my neagtive looks over this, I do think Brotherhood may prove to be a solid Sonic game. Bioware is a developer at the top of their game, and them together with Sega could prove to be an everlasting partnership. I have great trust in Bioware to deliever the Sonic RPG he deserves. I am a sonic fanboy, and I really hope 2008 gives him his True Blue magic back

Well seeing as Bioware are good developers, hopefully they'd be able to bring back a good sonic game, atleast playable. Also changing Sonic's genre wouldn't be all good seeing as it may not be suitable for it. Anyways, I guess I do hope this game comes out to be good.

I hope The Dark Brotherhood is good, if not the only other Sonic game that has potential is Sonic and The Dark Knight game, it's supposed to play out like Unleashed, going from 2D to 3D whilst zooming along, fingers crossed dude!

I want Sonic and Knuckles (SNES) to come out for the Virtual Console. I've never played it before and I'm extremely curious on how good it is. I'm sure that the new Sonic game will turn out good. I like the title so far.

I like the idea of a Sonic RPG, but I would rather Square Enix have dove everything instead of Bioware.
