Mark IsaacsonA good Sonic game?

So the blue hog hasn't had much luck of late. In fact, dating back to the Sega Saturn era of old, Sonic's only major success has come from a return to the series' roots on the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. The move to 3D hasn't been as kind, especially when you consider how successful Mario has been during that same amount of time, even when Nintendo makes a mistake (I'm looking at you, Sunshine).
But here's something that might drag Sega's flagship mascot back into the spotlight ... and I'm not talking about Smash Brothers. Bioware, those loveable (now EA owned) RPG makers, are hard at work on Sonic Chronicles for the DS, and it's looking promising. I mean REALLY promising. Nevermind the talent behind it, any game that uses the DS to its full potential is something worth waiting for.
Looking at the early details, it'll be completely run by the DS stylus with hand drawn visuals and based around what we've all come to love about the franchise. That's a good start.
There's still much to be done, no doubt, but I'd say the early details revealed recently suggests Bioware are putting some valuable time into this project. Gotta keep an eye on this one.
