Sonic Chronicles slows the hedgehog down to a crawl

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark BrotherhoodSonic Chronicles

A gameplay video of Bioware’s forthcoming DS RPG, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood has emerged on Gamekyo. And it seems as if our mammalian chum has taken a heavy dose of valium, because his trademark speed is nowhere to be seen.

While the battle mechanics look interesting - employing special attacks which use Ouendan-esque touchscreen tap-points - it’s all incredibly slow, certainly for a game featuring the world’s  fastest videogame hero. At least it looks as if the battles won’t be random, with enemies visible on the main screen. Graphics look nice, but let’s hope for an injection of pace before it arrives this Autumn.
