It plays like Sonic, but with a really nifty gameplay element- you tow around another character via an elastic-type thether. You choose from multiple characters that all vary in size and weight (which affects game physics), then select who your "tow" partner is. The roster includes Knuckles (the star) and, among others, that red armadillo character from the Sonic Arcade game (or so I hear).
There is a bit of a learning curve here, and getting fully used to using the elastic bend feature takes time. Once learned, however, the game takes on a unique charm that, if not innovative, is at least different enough to stand out.
Chaotix is my favorite 32-X game by far, and a VERY lost chapter in the long line of Sonic games. I am almost as disappointed about this one not being in the Sonic Mega Collection as I am about Sonic CD...
Anyone else enjoy Chaotix?
