My little sister would sure love this game, though. She is crazy about Sonic dah Hedgehog.
Yes, maybe she is, but isn't Sonic dah Hedgehog a game only for the GBA, though?? Meaning that Sonic probably hasn't been out on the DS before??
I could of course be wrong....
And do you really think that your little sister would like to play game in which Sony has features, stats & abilities, and plays a role in roleplaying game, instead of just running as fast as he can, jumping, hopping, doing other stuff the get the golden rings...
I'm still wondering: who is buying this game ? Or what is the target demographics for this game ? Is it little children 8-12 years who love Sonic because of his speed, is it teenager 12-19 ? or is it grownups?
Over at adventuregamers.com there's a hefty discussion going on about this, too. Opinions on this are very divided, I can tell you. Why is this even remotely interesting ? Well, it is, because many members of the adventure community do have a Nintendo DS (lite) and they are neither little children nor teenagers, they are adults. I just wonder whether or not they will play such a game as Sonic RPG?
The RPG community is totally different from that of the platform/arcade community, and the last (failed) attempt to bring them together was with the (horrid) game Lionheart which gameplay clearly bore the marks of being made by a company used to making arcade games.
Anyway, I prefer to open about this....but remain skeptical of this whole endeavor...
