Since I had my PC busy doing other things, I also started the Sonic Chronicles DS game tonight. Sonic isn’t exactly the kind of game you’d expect to see an RPG for, but it worked for Mario, and it is by Bioware…

There are certainly parallels with the Mario RPG-ish games, with special moves that you have to use an Elite Beat Agents-like action sequence to use or avoid, a party of characters, levels and xp and equipment, environmental barriers you need certain characters to pass, etc.

So far the plot is fairly light and simple. Knuckles is missing and robots are wandering around and some agency called GUN wants us to investigate some spots and find him. I’ve made it to some kind of town and Tails’s workshop, but I think I have to backtrack a bit for some stuff I couldn’t get earlier.
