The listing, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood - Nintendo DS has ended.
As a franchise that's been around for 17 years, Sonic the Hedgehog has seen its ups and downs. The series kicked off nearly two decades ago with phenomenal side-scrolling platforming, adding more speed and intensity than Nintendo's own plumber, but since the era of 3D has started to dwindle a bit. Leave it to DS to try and innovate, bringing back some impressive 2D action games with the Sonic Rush series, and now a totally unique take on the brand, with a Bioware-made role-playing game in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. With this, Bioware's first handheld game for the newly-formed team, the makers of KOTOR teamed up with SEGA to try and give more substance to the little blue hedgehog. In the end though, we've come to the same conclusion we often do with the Sonic franchise; the guy is just better off running right, and blasting through loops.
