.:Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood:.
Yes, that's right. For those that haven't heard, this is the title of the Sonic RPG that BioWare is developing apparently.
On the forums I'm on, people have posted that a magazine called 'Nintendo Power' has a 7 page article on the game. Whilst the basic info about the article was shown on the forums, Scans weren't available. This is the Febuary Issue, which apparently isn't out yet? Well, I was wondering if anyone could get some scans when it is out. I'm really interested in this game

info that was able to be supplied-
"-Cover Story with nice artwork
-In game graphics have a water color look, all hand drawn
-4 party members at a time
-Each character can do certain things ex: Tails can float over things (standard stuff)
-11 party members total - 7 known are Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, Shadow, Big the Cat
-Control done fully with stylus - think Hourglass
-Able to split party into teams at certain moments
-Rings are used as currency
-No random battles, see enemies on the field
-Turn based battles, choose commands for everyone in your party before they actually follow through. Want battles to be fast paced
-Elite Beat Agents style special attacks
-Team attacks (like Chrono Trigger)
-"Fatigue Points" instead of MP
-Choose which attributes to increase when you level up
-Purchase and level special attacks
-Bits of story - Sonic's on vacation from defeating Eggman 2 years ago. Gets a call from Tails that Knuckles has been kidnapped by a group called the Marauders, and that 6 chaos emeralds are missing. Eggman not the main villain. But Bioware wants to make him a creditable bad guy again. Something about a "twist" between Eggman and Sonic that goes back to the earlier games.
-2 acts - first takes place in standard Sonic areas. 2nd takes place in a darker world
-Remixed classic tunes
-"fully animated cut scenes"
-simple dialogue trees
-Side quests"
enjoy

remember, if you can get hold of the scans at some point, please lemme have a look

[link]An interview video on GameTrailers. Which mainly repeats things we already know. And makes the mistake of saying 'Fall 2007' instead of '2008'. Someone got tounge tied there XD ->
[link]And a preview type thing from GoNintendo, they don't seem too impressed at the moment, but it's still early stages to judge from ->
[link]Edit- 20/4/2008- Fact sheet thing, which is like, a summary type thing you'd see on the back of a game box XD Yeah.->
[link]Edit- 3/5/2008- New developer interview video, with some in game footage. Unfortunately it's in French, so I can't understand any more words than 'Sonic', so if anyone could translate it'd be awesome :3 ->
[link]Edit- 17/5/2008- Kotaku got a hands-on of a portion of the game it seems, so here's their latest views and a picture of the boxart->
[link]Edit- 4/6/2008- New trailer over at IGN, pretty funky animated comicbook style

GO LOOK!->
[link]Edit- 7/6/2008- Okay, so we all knew that there was an area
like the Green or the Emerald Hill, but the fact is, that the game starts in THE Green Hill Zone. Yes. Zone. The ZONES ARE BACK. Whoo XD Okay, that may just be nostalgia making me happy there, but yay anyway

->
[link]Edit- 9/6/2008- new preview by NGamer. Cheer for Chao! Lol. Also, apparently E-123 Omega and Shade are playable too.->
[link]Edit- 21/6/2008- couple of new pieces over at Sonic stadium and at N-Europe.->

->
[link]Edit- 15/7/2008- A few new screens. The inventory style reminds me of some of the RPGs I've played before, so at least I won't be too confused XD ->
[link]Edit- 16/7/2008- Thanks =
SHADOWPRIME. Okay, here's some Chronicles gameplay demo->
[link]I spent most of the time laughing at the fact that the guy demoing it sucked, but it looks pretty cool

25 hours for a Sonic game? Not bad at all.
Edit- 19/7/2008- The game that'll be available to play at SoS will be Sonic Chronicles apparently.
Limited gameplay per person since there'll only be one pod to play it on, but it's a nice treat.

[link]Edit- 5/9/2008- New interview thing, short interview/trailer. Briefly goes over a couple of points. ->
