What is it about isometric viewpoints, classic franchises, and role-playing games? They seem to fit so well together! This perplexing equation worked wonders for classicSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Starsand now seems to be continuing with upcoming DS gameSonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.
I am not getting my hopes up just yet, though. We all know howSonic’s last outing in the isometric universeturned out (three words: throw-up on bread). Luckily, something about this new trailer makes me (cautiously?) optimistic that Sonic’s foray into hit points and heal potions could turn out well.
Maybe it’s the fact that the trailer gives me aMario & Luigi: Superstar Sagavibe (definitelya good thing)? Maybe it is the fact that the game is made my RPG masters BioWare? Maybe it is the fact that the music is on aPuzzle Questlevel of overdramatic, epic proportions? Whatever the reason,Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhoodseems to have some potential.
What do you think? Does this trailer get you at least alittleexcited for a Sonic RPG, or were you done with the hyper blue hedgehog ages ago?
