Test Chamber – Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal
Sonic's career has been through as many loop de loops as the blue hedgehog himself. The next stop on his journey is particularly noteworthy, though, because now Western developers are at the reigns. The Wii U Sonic Boom game is being developed by Big Red Button, while the 3DS side-scroller we're playing for this episode of Test Chamber is by Sanzaru.
Sanzaru made a name for itself converting the PS2 Sly Cooper trilogy to HD, then following that up with an impressive original title, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Now the developer behind that colorful platformer is at the helm of one of the most iconic platforming franchises of all time.
Join Kim Wallace and I as we boot up the 3DS Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal demo. We tinker with the four playable characters, explore the winding stages, and even pilot a submarine. When you're finished watching, download the demo for free on your 3DS.
Note: I accidentally refer to Sticks the Badger as Lyric in the video. My apologies!
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal hits the 3DS on Tuesday, November 11.
