![]() Sonic Boom has answered the age-old question "So you want a realistic down-to-earth show that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots?". It's not an adventure show and I feel that's why many reviewers are disappointed. These characters combine together to work through standard sitcom plots. Eggman is a villain but more of a needy overblown weekly threat bully instead of an existential. So Sonic is arrogant, Tails is brainy and good natured if a bit naive, Knuckles is a strong dimwit, Amy is conscientious, and Sticks is a paranoid anarchic lunatic. The characters are reduced to their basic personalities which is bad if you've watched them grow but great when you intend to have them bounce off each other in stories. Sonic Boom tosses all of that out the window and it is all the better for it. When a company continues a franchise there's always a concern about whether they will be treating the characters and story with the reverence due to them. I am aware of the lore that's grown around it and the concerns of people who've followed Sonic and friends throughout the games. I was a Nintendo kid when growing up so played Sonic a couple times at friends houses but that was it. ![]()
