Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

This game comes out at the end of the month. I'm hoping it'll be a good RPG experience, seeing as it's the 1st ever Sonic RPG game! Since it's produced by BioWare, it should turn out to have a pretty good story, hopefully.

The combat is mainly turn-based with some real-time elements thrown in, such as tapping the Touch Screen at cretain places (like action commands) in order to dodge attacks or increase your attack's power.

The game itself seems to have just the right length for a DS RPG game. Excluding side quests, the game from start to finish would take around 25-30 hours to complete. Doing all the side quests may make it take around 40 hours. I think you'll be able to save at anytime during the game, but don't believe that just yet.

Bosses will be an "end-of-level" deal, with normal enemies to fight in the levels, of course. Chaos will be used for equipment to raise stats or create team attacks (I think). There are 10 playable characters, I believe, and 4 in a party at once. Each character will be needed to get through certain areas of the levels (like Tails's ability to fly).

Any comments?

Sounds like Mario RPG or Paper Mario. =/

Nah, you need to read more about it.

The 10-character thing spells unbalanced. =/

Maybe not. I've heard something like each character will have some special ability in the field, so you'll need different party members at certain times in order to advance through the game. I'm excited to see how this plays out.

Well let's hope it works that way...
