Yes, but I have the banhammer and I say it's not a theme song, it's level music.

Well, I finished the game. I liked it for the most part. Great dialogue, though I wish the presentation was a bit tighter. They had a hard time drumming up a feeling of over all danger and excitement. It was there a times though, and I assumed it was just a slow build up.
SPOILERS
The ending sucked. Good god it sucked. To the point it made me angry. Sonic 1 had a better ending.
The problem isn't that there is a cliffhanger (which is dangerous since there's no guarantee a sequel will be in the works). The problem is that the Nocture and argue even are all forgotten. Ix gets power that he's never mentioned before and does nothing other then FINALLY looking like an echidnae. It should be the other way around. He should go from being a frail old echidnae to a monster. Otherwise it's just supersonic beating up an old man.
And there was next to no other reason for Sonic to go Supersonic other then the characters SAYING that it should. It's poor storytelling.
And don't get me started on Shade convieniently following them home. I though getting Ecidnae's home was important for Knuckles? All she had to do was follow him?!

I thought the game was pretty interesting. I liked it a whole lot (EGM gave it game of the month?!).
I didn't really like the whole RPG style ATB.... kind of annoying. I prefer just kicking butt at my leisure. I wish there was more story on the Characters instead of what seemed to be random happenings and a bunch of story elements that were never really explored completely.
Of course this game was the first in a long time to focus on Sonic mostly, but I would have liked it if during the game those in your party are more interactive with you. There was 2 incidents I remember being able to talk to Shadow but he never really said much other than, "stop bothering me".
Also, someone mentioned taking some inspiration from Archie but that's completely ludicrous. The storyline with the echidnas had already been established back since Sonic Adventure, they just made some fresh new baddies for us to enjoy.
Bioware said that they'd make Eggman a main threat and he wasn't even like..... important. He just kinda got rid of everyone and was gone. I also wish the battles were tougher. I had a harder time fighting regular goons than the bosses. And the ability to dodge attacks made it even easier to beat bosses. Half the time they didnt even hit me.
Overall I had a load of fun with this game. Unfortunately for Bioware, since they got bought out by EA there probably wont be a sequel unless this game sold REALLY well. Because we all know EA loves to make money.

Oh c'mon! Bioware makes sure that everything they deliver is a bowtie wrapped bundle of awesome. It's not like it's uber complicated like KotOR, anyway...(Though I wish it was, I'd kill for all that statistical related sidequest mumbo jumbo...that's my favorite part of games like those, just screwing around and ignoring the main quest with an endless array of sidequests.) I'm not saying they suck or anything. I just find it a little odd that Bioware made something that involves somthing Sonic Team owns. I guess I'm naive... oh well, wouldn't be the first time.

You mean after the "Mass Booty" scandal in Mass Effect that made everyone like "OMG GAME PRON!!"?

I knew there was meant to be more Sonic Chronicles titles. I just assumed thatthe story arc for this game would close.
Even in trilogies and what not, some problems are supposed to be resolved at the end of the adventure - such as the Death Star being destroyed, or Luke discovering his father. Sonic Chronicles set up many interesting story lines and just dropped them like Rouge does with her pants for Shadow.

Finished it, Yeah I have to agree on how they never explaind what Ix did and the ending, but I remember Tails saying that he tuned the dimensional buffer to allow shade through. the Big quotes were hilarious, and finally Why not a half gizoid-half echidna thing or heck give him an arua or something finally a new quote from Shadow: "I see plenty of ways out for me, none for you."
