During
the development of the infamous Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, Yuji Naka, one of the
original creators of the Sonic franchise, left Sega. He went on to form a
company called Prope; it’s here that he developed Rodea the Sky Soldier for the
Wii. However, Kadokawa Games, the publisher, delayed in releasing the game in
order to create 3DS and Wii U versions. Both of these versions play differently
from Yuji Naka’s original vision, and were very poorly received. This review
focuses solely on the original Wii version.
