A not so fast Sonic game.
In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, you play as Sonic and his friends to save their own world and another world from a new character named Ix. They must stop him in a new world called the Twilight Cage.
This game is a spin-off where the original platforming in Sonic is replaced by RPG elements such as exploring and turn-based fighting. This is the only Sonic game where this has been done, and it is well executed. The story in the game is very important, and it is also well executed. The areas are refreshing compared to the other Sonic games because you have the familiar areas like Angel Island, but also new areas and even a new world. The music is nothing special, but the graphics, on the other hand, are very well done. The turn-based fighting is well executed, and because you can do this with different characters, it remains fun.
All in all, this game is fun, although there are other and better RPGs for the DS. If you like the Sonic games, this is still a recommendation.
