Bioware - Sonic the Hedgehog RPG for the DS

The sonic fanboy in me is going
The rest of me really wants to buy this now.
This... this is glorious

Seriously. It's sounding like Bioware IS the company that understands the direction Sonic needs to go in. I may just have to pick this up.
I now know sadness.
Hiya.
Anyway, what's the normal retail price on this? I'd like to give it a spin.
Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!
Also, low difficulty is not necessarily a drawback for a portable game if you carpool or take the bus. You can't really afford to get too pissed off and shout things like "You cock-licking scrotum-sucking piece of worm-infested smelly yellow liquid baby diarrhea!" in such situations.
Earlier I got to yell at Shadow and then immediately kick the shit out of him.
Are there any drawbacks to being an asshole to other people? Because even from the start it's hilarious.
All of Sonic's buddies are convinced he's facetious. Fuck you, he's not and he hates your guts.
To be fair, Tails is a hair away from having a starring role in Of Mice and Men.
Bitch ran away like the bitch he is.
Should those of us that have it say what we like/don't like about it? For the sake of others who may purchase it.

It is still a fun game and a good rpg especially if you either love the sonic world or hate it. Also there aren't many drawbacks to being a total cockwad as far as I've seen. There are a few times where you obviously miss out on a quest by being a dick but those are few and far between and usually only for the short sidequests.
I never asked for this!

Well, I guess I'm sold.
Well not in a sense. There isn't a good/evil light/dark stat like in Kotor or Mass Effect. There are just asshole responses that you can use to either lengthen or shorten dialog depending on the conversation. It's all on a more personal level then in those games. It's never "Oh I don't want to hit this dialog because it will give me darkside points." instead it's just "Oh jee do I really want to tell Tails to shut up about reminding me to save? (yes you do)"
The rewards you miss out by being an asshole are minor anyway. For example theres a quest where a kid got trapped by evil robots and asks you to lead him home through the dangerous zone. Where you can promptly say "Good luck getting home kid!" and leave him to fend for himself. You get maybe 50 xp for completing this and a basic healing item. So really not missing much by being an ass.
Theres also points where you can get extra xp by being an ass. When you meet Shadow he's all being a jerk so you can just nag on him about how much better you are then him and then he gets pissed off and you can fight him extra times.
So theres really just little things like that about the dialog. It's just "Do you want to be a dick to Sonic characters?" rather then "Do you want the light or dark ending? (theres only one ending)"
I never asked for this!
Asshole Dialouge is very tounge in cheek. He references things like how bad Knuckles is at his job and constantly tells Amy how stupid she is.
I also love that Tails is a battered Housewife. " Sonic didn't mean that. He must be tired" . . .
That's what I figured. Still, though. I want this game now. I usually never play as a jerk in these games... But I might have to in this case.
I never asked for this!
I suddenly want this game.

To me, it is better than SMRPG for one reason alone. This is literally the first (non-MMO) RPG that my girlfriend has immediately fallen in love with. I just got it in from Gamefly today, and have gotten a total of about 30 minutes with it, as I'm having a hard time prying from her grasps. I've never seen her this excited about an RPG, more specifically, a turn-based RPG, as she says they're "too boring."
I have no idea when I'm going to be able to play it.
It's decent.
Good writing, funny dialogue choices (although your choices don't really matter). Nothing really changes by telling Knuckles he sucks at his job and that Tails should shut up about saving my game (although the latter is reward enough).
Good god is the music horrible though. The battle music is...passable, I suppose, but the different overworld bloops and bleeps remind me of a NES game.
Not a good NES game.
A bad NES game.
The battle system is fun but some enemies are a pain to kill (like the ones that need to be killed at the same time) and missing an Ouendannote when trying to heal your team or resurrect someone can suck.
Also, you better memorize what every item does, because for some reason when you're in battle and want to use an item all you see is the name. Psychic juice? Crazy beans? Fuck it, I'll just beat the enemy to death without items.
Minor character spoilers:
It's a shame he (probably) doesn't stick around for long though. I'm guessing he doesn't because he only has one ability and one team-up ability.
I second this. I am thoroughly enjoying this game, but the major thing it seems to lack is polish. It just feels like more could have been done everywhere.
On the other hand bioware probably sees this, and the sequel could turn out to be quite an excellent game.

Not so in this game.
Sonic is a real prick.
Lots of fun.
