Hello. and welcome to another episode of me reviewing games I've finished... well... telling you about how my game went and then saying whether I liked it or not ;P . It's been a while... partly because I've been busy... partly because most games I've played are unfinishable. But after playing a little bit each week I've finished a certain game I started ages ago Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood Okay! So I will say overall I enjoyed this game quite a lot. It wasn't too difficult but wasn't super easy either. I will say there was a little bit of a learning curve though with the game. When it starts out you're more likely to fail and get a game over than late in game (though despite this I believe I got a game over somewhere in the middle whilst I played So starting off on the Mobius levels where you face off against robots and animals and the occasional Nocturnus. This is the first introduction of the self repair to me which constantly has me worried for the rest of the game... them SWAT bots... Though the only REAL problem I had was the falcons or whatever they were guarding the machines that make animals aggressive... those took me AGES to kill. I hated them. The only other thing that was really bad for me was when the teams split up. At that point I was used to having Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and either Big, Eggman or Shadow as my third party so splitting them up I didn't know what to do and I made a huge mistake of putting my heavy hitters (Sonic, Knuckles, Big and Shadow) in one group and both my healers in a different group (Tails, Cream, Eggman and Amy. I left Rouge to her own devices). Surprisingly it wasn't as bad as I expected. I used a lot of healing materials on the heavy hitters and spammed Tails' medic thing along with Eggmans only good POW move and it all worked out fine. Though when it was time to move on I left without collecting Omega. I didn't realise moving on meant that I would leave Omega behind... it wasn't that clear but... oh well. At least I got to bring Shade So moving onto the Twilight area... you start off with fat orange aliens... who when you start off you HAVE to use POW moves as normal attacks do literally 1 damage... it was fairly irritating. Half the character's POW moves only did one damage too. Shade being the most notable one. I was heavily reliant on Knuckles since he was the only one who could do a lot of damage (I was wishing I had Eggman with me since he was a fairly heavy hitter but he stayed on Mobius). Him and Tails were musts on my team. I dont remember how Big did... I remember Big was a very heavy hitter who I liked but I don't remember how good he was here. Either way... this place was a bit of a pain... then we go to the N'rrgals. Who were jelly creatures. a lot easier to hit than the Kron but they regained all their health almost every go to make up... so once again POW moves were needed to finish them off quick. My team at this point was Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Big (I needed big to get past a load of things). I was a little annoyed that to destroy boxes I needed Amy... who I'd pretty much given up on since I didn't like her Moving on after that to the Zoah... big heavy hitters who had a bit of defence too. I didn't mind these guys too much realy... thy weren't super easy but weren't that hard either. By this point I'd changed Big out and replaced him with Shade who would then stick with my team instead of Big from then on. And moving on from that... the Voxai... who were fairly friendly to me when I arrived then changed their minds quick... but they weren't that hard if I remembered to block the dangerous attacks. At this point things were starting to become easy. I had been maximising my attacks and then maximising my luck. It worked well. So after that came the Nocturnous and a few Gizoids... for a while I thought the Gizoids would repair if I destroyed them first... but they didn't... oh well. The underwater parts of this level were a little annoying though... no POW moves allowed so I couldn't spam Tails' but I got there in the end and made it through to Ix... by which point he was a piece of cake with my double army or Knuckles, Shade, Cream and Shadow and Sonic, Tails, Amy and Big (Big kicked butt... seriously) and then by my dream team that couldn't have Eggman or Knuckles but had sonic, Tails, Shade and Big. The running bit caused me some problems but getting passed it, Ix was destroyed with ease... and so ended my game So yeah... good game... had a few little annoyances but ended up being pretty easy once you got a high enough level. Would recommend it to those who haven't played it
