Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
- November 11, 2014

Generic and unpolished, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric falls well below our already-low expectations.
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric is a platformer game with both single-player and multi-player modes. The focus is on action-adventure gameplay, intense combat, and exploration using the unique abilities of each character. The Enerbeam, an energy-charged cord, adds a new dimension to movement and combat, allowing players to navigate levels and battle enemies in innovative ways. The goal is to stop the villainous snake-like creature, Lyric, from powering up his army.

Critic Reviews
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric Review
Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric slows down the "fastest thing alive" and perfectly defines what a Sonic game absolutely should not be.

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric is a worrying misstep for Sega. While we applaud the idea of refreshing the characters for newer audiences, Rise of Lyric feels like a mishmash of ideas that never got to fully develop. Big Red Button spoke enthusiastically about the development process throughout the promotion of Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, which makes us think that the disappointing final product is a victim of being rushed out the door to accommodate the cartoon's release. As a result, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric is recommended only for those starved for a new adventure platformer and patient enough to sit through the poor technical performance.
