A Sonic RPG by Bioware.















Wanted to let that insanity sink in. Although it's a lot more like Mario RPG than any previous Bioware RPG. And the story, judging from the first hour, is reminiscent of the old Sonic Saturday morning cartoons (although not the darker one, at least thus far). But its pretty fun and I am desperate for a good Sonic game even if it's nothing like any of the other Sonic games.

What is the combat and progression like?

What is the combat and progression like?

combat is pretty cool. you have a standard attack move and what are called POW moves. these are fun because you have to do a combination of following lines and hitting orbs in order to do them perfectly, i still don't have them down. some of the combo moves let you team up like a tornado move with sonic, tails, and knuckles.

similar to pokemon (but much better), you just kinda run around the levels looking for things to fight and figuring out the missions. you have to go back and forth between the areas a bunch because some parts are blocked off until you get certain skills.

it's a lot of fun.

Sounds awesome. Might pick it up later.

I've been dying for a good DS rpg. Last one I really loved was The World Ends With You. FFIV was great, but it just got disgustingly difficult midpoint, to a point where it was frustrating.
