Cheesy trailer, but it's looking really good.

Were those the animated cut-scenes in question? They look like their Sonic X counterparts though...

I need to see more gameplay footage. I'm still on the fence about this one.

I actually thought that looked pretty ridiculous. The subtitle is really generic, too. I bet I could find like a million books and/or films and/or games with 'Dark Brotherhood' within their titles or content.

So they think the "most thrilling adventure in the history of Sonic" isn't made by Sega but BioWare?

Depends what you call adventure really.
Most of them were just platform games, story hardly came into it. (even Sonic Adventure). To me "adventure" kinda means more then platform antics, no matter how good those antics are.
You can be sure Bioware put some effort into some story here.

That said, Secret Rings had some lovely styled cut-scenes. Id have liked them to use that style again.
