This past October, we sat down with representatives from Sega to check out several of their upcoming winter releases. Of the four titles previewed, three have already arrived in the forms of the remastered Sonic The Hedgehog 2 [$2.99], Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed [$4.99] and Demon Tribe [Free]. Today, the final game of that lot of upcoming titles has finally arrived as well. Rhythm Thief & The Paris Caper [$9.99] is an iOS port of the 2012 Nintendo 3DS title that has you playing through rhythm-based mini-games as you travel across historical Paris.
I missed out on Rhythm Thief on the 3DS, but I was very interested in the iOS port after playing around with that early version back in October. I'm looking forward to sitting down tonight now that it's out.
Update: Sega has acknowledged a game-breaking bug with this release and temporarily pulled Rhythm Thief from the App Store. Bummer. It should eventually be back with a fix, and anyone who has already purchased it will receive the fix via a free update. We'll keep an eye out for the fixed version.
