You know, I hear a lot about peoples’ high expectations for Blaze the Cat of Sonic Rush, the official title for Sonic DS. Some people believe that Blaze’s purpose is to appeal to a broader female base by giving them a strong female character they can identify with. But given SEGA’s track record for female characters, I don’t hold my breath. What do we know about her? She’s a queen of an alternate dimension, and she looks perpetually angry. I have a feeling she’s not gonna get much more personality than that, and I have a feeling that Blaze will just wind up being another love interest for Sonic, just like Amy. Because as Kim Possible has proven, a guy and a girl CAN’T just be friends.

I say to SEGA, stop creating new characters until you develop real personalities for your existing ones.
