Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood is a decent first attempt at giving the speedy hedgehog a new genre to explore, but the game lacks the addictive and challenging elements that make RPG fans want to keep exploring and progressing.

It's possible that Gamervision expected too much out of BioWare and the blue speedster, but that doesn't change the fact that the games never achieves greatness, though it probably could have. Maybe next time, Sonic.
Despite the fame and popularity of both the studio and the IP in question, not everyone knows that Bioware developed a Sonic RPG prior to them being acquired by EA, Sonic Chronicles for the Nintendo DS, and it was recently detailed in a DidYouKnowGaming video that both Bioware and SEGA were down for a sequel, but it was ultimately canceled for a surprising reason: SEGA was sued for copyright infringement
to be fair tho, the rpg for the DS was a mess.
touchscreen-only was not a good way to make a game like this.
