Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've had a browse through the topic titles and I can't actually see one for this new game. If anyone knows better, post a link in this topic and I'll lock this one and bump the old one smile

Sega's newsletter arrived in my inbox this morning with a link to this site:
http://www.sega.co.uk/sonicchronicles/uk/index.php

They've noticed I'm in the UK, which is good, since the e-mail came from Sega of America, but I digress.

Anyhow, it's the official site for the upcoming DS outing for Sonic and his motley crew, in their first ever role playing game. There's another new character (sigh), but at least they're acknowledging that Tails is Sonic's most loyal friend.

The official site has screenshots, trailers, concept art, character info and a chance to play mini-games with a (presumably) Flash-animated stylus.

Anyhow, DS owners may wish to check it out...

I checked out the site last night; a pretty neat little thing they got set-up. At the very least, you can get a wallpaper. : P

I'm really looking forward to Chronicles, though. Considering it's a turn-based RPG, one wouldn't have to worry about a glitchy camera or unwieldy controls causing frequent deaths.

...not to mention noone's ever died of pitfalls in the genre, either. XP (in gameplay, I mean)

Has an official release date been announced? All the site says is Fall...

So, tomorrow's the big day! (well, for us in the US, at least....you lucky folks on the other side of the pond are already enjoying it : P)

Definitely looking forward to this; it sounds like the general response has been pretty good too, which hasn't been seen in a LONG time.

Too bad there's no midnight release for it at Gamestop; I'd forgo a few more hours of sleep for this. ^^;

Well, to be honest with you I'm frustrated at the game. I can't win, and I'm only on Chapter One! I'm terrible at strategy-based RPGs. xd sweatdrop gonk

Review consensus (from the reliable sites, at least) seems to be that this is good rather than great. Make of that what you will.

I'd probably pick it up myself, but I seem to be broke presently.
