I must be doing something horribly wrong, but I can't figure out what it is.

You're supporting Sonic. What more need be said?

You are not worthy!

The game kinda seems like suck though.

It's an RPG, a must have for Soriku. There aren't many better games than Sonic Chronicles on the DS. Well, maybe a few hundred.

Comments like this make me happy I didn't buy this game.

 



Pixel Art can be fun.

hmm, Im still on the fence about this one, but Im leaning to 'avoid' now.



I thought it's very good. I'm on chapter 6 now. My only complaint is the framerate.

As for enemies that are phasing/avoiding, special moves hit them better than standard ones (some attacks cannot be avoided if perfectly executed). Or just have Cheese as a Chao, to increase your luck (also increases the likelihood of first turn ambushes).

For regenerative enemies, beat enemies evenly, then use Robotnik's special attack that hits every enemy (did I say Robotnik?), or some other character's area attack.

Enemies give fewer xp when you reach a particular level. It makes sense, really. No matter how much you kill ants, you won't get to level 100 for it (unless its a giant boss ant).

There's a complaint that the conversation tree have no bearing with the story. I am not quite sure with that. In my experience, I am usually friendly to my remarks to Amy (you can choose to be bad, too). Later in the game, Amy asked Sonic why he's being nice to her.

Maybe the conversation trees have no major impact, only subtle ones. But, I can't be so sure until I played through the game -- and finish it all over again using different paths (yikes).

Now I don't know what to think...

RolStoppable just isn't hard core enough to handle Sonic.

You haven't bought Dragon Quest IV ( or maybe yes )

even if its geting all these poopy reviews i'm still going to buy it, prolly.

yes, i said poopy.



Sounds a bit like Lunar: Dragon song for DS. Fun, flawed games. I'm not buying sonic chronicles. Sonic seems borderline cursed at this point :P



Bioware forgot to balance the game. Again, a Sonic game rushed out to release
