Sonic Rivalry Heats Up
Well this was a nice surprise. Sega have announced a brand new original Sonic title for the PSP in the form of Sonic Rivals. It’s being developed by BackBone Entertainment, which will their first effort with the series. We’ll no doubt hear more at E3, but for now the screenshots are looking pretty cool.
The British Gaming Blog is a little worried:
Think of it as running out of ideas, taking a similar name to Sonic Hereos, and making a sort of… rivals… mode… game… and some cards like in Sonic Battle. With Sega’s recent track record with Sonic games, it’s not hard to be a bit worried about how this one will turn out.
That may well be, but I for one am pretty excited that Sega are still keen to push out more Sonic titles, even what with the current lull in interest brought on by some pretty horrific handling of the series. If only Sonic Team took more control over the character they made a star.
i think there is a great chance for there to be head to head rivals and a three way game of doing a three way story of sonic shadow or even silver.
