There will be 2 types of Stories in the game. The one is Sonic's Story which can be played only be Sonic and the other one is the Future Freedom Fighter's Story where the player can only play the Future Freedom Fighters.
==Detailed Story==
Head here to see the complete story of the game, explained with every detail. The story is completed as of 1 August 2011.
==Gameplay==
Gameplay for The Chronicles of Sonic the Hedgehog: I Am the Future somewhat differs from its prequel. The game is divided into 2 kinds of gameplay. These are Sonic Unleashed-like gameplay and Ratchet & Clank-like gameplay with some elements of Third-Person shooter gameplay, similar to that of Metroid: Other M.
In the first type of gameplay, Sonic is the only playable one. Like in Sonic Unleashed, this type of gameplay focuses on Sonic's speed and to this extent, sees the player control Sonic through fast-moving stages containing both 2D and 3D styles of gameplay. 2D sections are reminiscent of the Mega Drive/Genesis-era Sonic games, where the player controls Sonic in a side-scrolling fashion,while 3D sections sees the camera placed behind Sonic, so the player may move in all directions. In addition to moves available in past games, such as wall jumping, spin dashing and the homing attack, new moves are also introduced. For instance, a new side-step feature is available known as the Quick Step, allowing Sonic to dodge left-and-right, and a Speed Drift feature allows Sonic to turn around corners at high speed, without slowing down.The game also affords a gameplay mechanic for speed used in the Sonic Rush series in the form of Sonic Boost, which temporarily increases Sonic's speed, as well as allowing him to smash through objects, destroy enemies instantly, or even access different level paths. An on-screen "Ring Energy" meter is used to display how much boost is available. The amount of boost remaining may be increased by collecting more rings, and is decreased when the player uses it.
In the second type of gameplay, it resembles that of the Ratchet & Clank series. The player takes control of more than 15 different Future Freedom Fighters in a mix of platforming and action gameplay elements presented in the third-person perspective, focused on the use of unique weapons and gadgets. Each Freedom Fighters has his own versatile weaponry. They start of with a weapon, usually a sword or somesort for melee attacks and obtain various kinds of weapons through the game. Weapons can be either bought from a vendor, obtained by completing several missions or by finding their components on each level and fixing it yourself. Most weapons have a limited amount of ammunition, requiring the player to use weapons effectively to avoid running out of fire power. Ammunition can be restocked from vendors or by breaking crates scattered around the levels. Weapons can also be upgraded by using them often. The player may also get aboard tanks and/or other vehicles found scattered across levels. The player's screen shows the character's Life Gauge, which is very similar to the Ring Energy in Sonic's gameplay and can be restored by collecting rings, the ammoes, time, score and a small segment of a map. The game also allows players to change their camera into that of a Third-Person Shooter perspective, similarly to Metroid Other M, and play in that game style. Of course, in some parts of the level, the camera will automatically switch into that mode and the player must play in that perspective. The player takes control of the character and can switch weapon during gameplay. The weapons now are all targeted. They can also crouch and hide behind small walls for protection. Most of the game is in the Third-person perspective rather than free platformer. All other functions, however, remain the same as the previous kind of gameplay.
The game features a plethora of Modes. For Sonic's gameplay, players can race online. There is also the existence of leaderboards. For the Freedom Fighter's gameplay, there is a sanbox-like mode where up to 12 players can play online. They are put into a very large world, along with an army of mechs, and must defeat all of the opponent's army and base, while protecting theirs, similarly to the Ratchet & Clank multiplayer. Online players may also team up and use their own, customized weapons on the battles. They can also switch the mode to that of a Third-Person perspective or a Normal perspective and adjust the number of their teammates.

==Modes==
===Story===
The main Mode of the game where it is devided into two parts; Sonic's Story and the Freedom Fighters' Story, each having a different gameplay style and storyline. When the Story Mode is completed, players can still replay all of the levels they have completed, as well as the Bosses.
===Multiplayer===
Multiplayer Mode features gameplay for both Sonic's gameplay and the Freedom Fighters. For Sonic's gameplay, up to 4 players can play. Players pick a stage from the Story Mode to play and must race each other, ultimately reaching the Goal Ring. Whoever reaches it first wins. Sonic is the only playable character and players can attack each other, similarly to Sonic Rivals. As for the Freedom Fighter's gameplay, there is an open world mode where up to 4 players can play simlutaneously. Players select a map of over 20 locations, each one based on a stage in Story Mode and put into an open-world environment of that location, along with their army of mechs, which serve as soldiers and can be from 20 to over 50, and must defeat all of the opponent's army and base, while protecting their own squad and base. They can also switch the mode to that of a Third-Person perspective or a Normal perspective and adjust the number of their teammates. In addition, they can pick over 30 different Freedom Fighters to play as, while choosing their own weapons and gadgets. They can also use various items to help them, scattered across the sandbox world. The game ends when 3 of the teams have been vanquished.
===Campaign===
In Campaign Mode, players can select up to 30 different Freedom Fighters to play as. Players then must complete certain objectives in stages while using the selected character. There are 6 stages, each one from a stage in the Story Mode. Stages include Doununda, Outpost X, Soumerca, Northern Tundra, Sector Z, Space Colony ARK, Gravitus Utopia, Eloch, Angel Island, Kingdom of Mercia and the Mt. Greyhorn. These stages are massive and resemble sandbox-like levels. The stages appear in random order. In the first stage, players must complete an objective in order to move to the next level, such as defeating a certain amount of enemies, detonating bombs, destroying or protecting bases, or acquiring hidden items. Once the objective has been completed, the player moves to the second level, where it takes place on a different stage with a different mission. Up to 2 players can play co-operatively in this mode. When the player completes level 6, they battle a Boss from the Story Mode. That Boss is randomly chosen. Players are rewarded with a special weapon or bonus item in the Gallery whenever they complete the mode with a certain character. However, the player is only rewarded when they clear it with one of the 9 Outpost X Freedom Fighters.
===Free Play===
In Free Play, players can simply choose any stage they have unlocked from Story Mode and play it with the desired character. Players can select both characters' gameplay stages.This mode is simply for replaying and is not rewarded with anything. It is a quicker way of playing stages once instead of going through Adventure Fields.
===Weapon Construction===
In Weapon Construction Mode, (human) players can build their own weapons by assembling multiple components of weapons, found scattered across each Freedom Fighters' level. Many weapons can be collected this way. Each component can be assembled with various other components to create various, different weapons, including firearms and melee weapons.
===Gallery===
In Gallery, players can view hidden bonus features which have been collected throughout the game.

===Online Play===
Online Play is the same mode as Multiplayer Mode (see above). However, up to 8 different players can play online along with their teams. The players can also work together with another team to defeat the opposing team. Players vote for the stage they desire and can also trade weapons and gadgets.
===Achievement Board===
Achievement Board is a board where the player is ranked according to all of his Achievements. Achievements can be unlocked when a player satisfies certain in-game requirements, such as upgrading all of the Weapons to Ultimate, clearing Story Mode or clearing Campaign Mode with all characters. Achievement Board can also be viewed Online and players are rewarded with Weapons for each Achievements.
===Options===
In Options, players can make various modifications such as altering the camera, the sound, the brightness etc. It is the same mode as the prequel.
==Weapons﻿==
Each playable character, aside from Sonic, uses various kinds of weapons, each one with their own unique ability. Weapons can be obtained by the following ways:
*Acquired at the start of the game. They are acquired automatically at the start of the game.
*Bought from the shop at the Adventure Fields. Their cost depends on how good the weapons are, useful weapons reaching a very high price while normal and ordinary weapons reaching low and normal price. Each time, more and new weapons will appear at the shop, mostly when the player completes a stage or Chapter. In order to buy the weapons from the shop, the player must acquire rings from in-game stages.
