''Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric'' is a 2014 action-adventure video game published by Sega and developed by Big Red Button 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 new ''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 on November 11, 2014 in North America,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric Release Date Moved Up )〕 November 21 in Europe, and December 18 in Japan.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SEGA - ソニックトゥーン )〕 The game was retitled for its Japanese release. ''Rise of Lyric'' was met with very negative reception from critics, with aggregate critical review scores of 33.15% and 32% on GameRankings and Metacritic, respectively. Upon release it was heavily criticized for its glitches (including one that allowed players to beat the game in under an hour), camera system, controls and combat, along with its story, dialogue, and character development. The game did not perform well commercially either; the combined sales of ''Rise of Lyric'' and ''Shattered Crystal'' total 620,000 copies as of May 2015, making them the least-selling ''Sonic'' franchise games. ==Plot== Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy pursue Eggman until they encounter an ancient tomb with carvings of Sonic and Tails on the entrance. Sonic is stopped twice by Amy from opening the door, but when Metal Sonic ambushes the group, Sonic opens the door and the group escape. Inside, they encounter an imprisoned, but powerful snake villain named Lyric the Last Ancient.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://blogs.sega.com/2014/11/11/sonic-boom-rise-of-lyric-and-sonic-boom-shattered-crystal-out-now-in-north-america/ )〕 Lyric recognises Sonic from events transpiring one thousand years ago and captures the group, but Tails deactivates the shackles and turns them into beams named Enerbeams for the group to use. After meeting Cliff, the group discovers that Lyric planned to power an army of war robots with the Chaos Crystals to create a world of twisted metal and robots, but was imprisoned by The Ancients when they discovered the plan; the group then set out to retrieve the Chaos Crystals before Lyric. At an abandoned research facility, they meet MAIA, a robot who rebelled against Lyric, who assists them by creating a portal, allowing Sonic and Tails to go one thousand years back in time to retrieve a map showing the location of the Chaos Crystals. Sonic and Tails are then attacked by Shadow, but defeat him, enter the portal, successfully retrieve the map from inside Lyric's weapon facility and trap him inside for future imprisonment by The Ancients. Lyric reluctantly forms an alliance with Eggman, but after no success, Lyric turns on Eggman by programming Metal Sonic against him. The group defeat Metal Sonic and Eggman and retrieve the final Chaos Crystal, but Sonic is then surrounded by Lyric and his robots. Lyric demands the Crystals; Sonic refuses to give them up, but Tails, Knuckles and Amy agree to do so. Sonic is then attacked by Lyric's robots and buried under rubble, but recovers and the group set out to Lyric's Lair to stop him. During the battle, Lyric reprogrammes the Enerbeams to ensnare the group, but before he can take advantage of the situation, Eggman ambushes Lyric from behind, freeing the group. Sonic then ties up Lyric with assistance from his friends and removes Lyric's technopathy device to incapacitate him; Knuckles discards it. The group celebrate, but in a post-credits scene, Eggman recovers the device and uses it to revive Metal Sonic. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
