Bioware’s RPG
Yes, Bioware makes great games, as their track record has shown. Whether you came to know them through Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect, Jade Empire, or Dragon Age, the studio has proven their greatness for years and will continue to do so for years to come. But with that in mind, the idea of a Bioware/Sonic RPG is more than a little perplexing. In fact, if you’d just woken up from a coma you’ve been in since the 90s, you’d wonder if you hadn’t just woken up in some sort of alternate reality.
That’s not to say that the game is bad, it actually turned out to be pretty good, and the weirdness of its concept actually ends up working in its favor. For veteran RPG players, the game will be a bit of a joke in terms of depth and difficulty, but it’s not a bad entry to the genre for your kid or very younger sibling. It still looks good visually, even to this day, and the story is engaging enough that they’ll enjoy it. It’s a shame that this came out right around the time that Bioware got acquired by EA, because a sequel would’ve been genuinely interesting to see.
