Sonic Boom:
Rise of Lyric is an action-adventure game developed by Big Red Button and
published by Sega for the Wii U console. Along with Sonic Boom: Shattered
Crystal for the Nintendo 3DS, the game is a spin-off of Sega's Sonic the
Hedgehog series and is a part of the Sonic Boom franchise, which also consists
of an animated television series (whose games serve as prequel), a comic series
by Archie Comics, and a toyline by Tomy.
The two
games together formed the third and final part in Sega's exclusivity agreement
with Nintendo, following Sonic Lost World and Mario & Sonic at the Sochi
2014 Olympic Winter Games in 2013. Both games were released in North America,
Europe and Australia in November 2014.
Rise of
Lyric was met with a very negative response from critics, where it was heavily
criticized for its numerous glitches, camera system, controls, combat, story,
dialogue, and character development. The game did not perform well
commercially, with the combined sales of Rise of Lyric and Shattered Crystal
totaling 620,000 copies by March 31, 2015.
