@millgrl No, the game is a mix of both. It is kinda serious, but never gory or anything. But heavy in plot and is enjoyable for all ages. SEGA's a wise company and keeps people of all ages in mind.
I'm not saying it's not for teens, teens can like it too. What I'm saying is that people shouldn't whine that Sonic games are childish because Sonic is primarily marketed to children.
You have to remember, Sonic is primarily marketed to 10 year old boys. 10 year old boys like swordplay. By the way, the game is now released (at least in the US).
Why's everyone complaining so much about the freakin' sword? It's just like Sonic's usual rolling attack only it's a sword. Seriously. Sonic's faster now than he ever was, so no one should be complaining about speed. Why's all this small stuff (excluding the werehog) such a big deal to everyone, and what in the world does everyone want from Sonic?
You've seen all the positivity that this game has gotten so far. Play the thing before filling out its death certificate.
u mean chaos, those little light blue fairy-looking things? by the way, are they old-fashioned rings? lol the counter showing how many rings you have is a picture of rings, not fairies
i agree. the werehog wasn't even a small thing, it was a great choice. in fact, the werehog has more health then the hedgehog. and if sonic has a sword he will definitely kill faster. and he'll probably run faster too.
okay the thing thats really disturbing about this game is sonic is pretty much going from his world to our olden days think of it but still you cant judge a book by its cover
Sonic And The Black Knight is going to be one interesting creation. While most believe it to be a rip-off of another game, which we all know, I think it'll add a new sort of direction for sonic. What with him having his new 'story book' series and all. From what has been showed in the trailers the gameplay is to be like unleashed. 2d/3d and more controllable. Maybe next we will have a pirate sort of sonic game with blackbeard and such. Ha ha ha. Before I rate the game i'll play it though. ^^
oh man, this looks to "secret rings". all the sonic games were good, the story was somewhat obnoxious, but sonic unleashed was on the right track, some of that game was epic.
and i personaly disliked the wii controlls (as opposed to the playstasion)
It's always been my opinion that in order to review a Sonic game fairly, you have to totally forget about the series' other missteps and just enjoy the game for what it is. The main problem nowadays is that people are starting to automatically think that every Sonic game that comes out will be bad, just because it's Sonic.
About the video - neat. The music is very medievaly. :]
As for the general drift of conversation...
I personally think the game looks fantastic. Sure, I might have troubles with the controls, but that doesn't matter too, too much.
It takes a true Sonic fan to love any Sonic game. People rely too much on gaming reviews. I personally think people are enjoying tearing Sonic down, but they won't falter me.
Sonic is a jem. Don't be a follower of reviews - if you like Sonic, go ahead and like Sonic!
sonic and the secret rings is a fukin disgrace to all the sonic games il jus say 1 reason...he cant even do a fukin spin dash wich is in all sonic games
The first part where you hold it down and charge it was introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 .The second one is not spin dash, its running an rolling in a ball.
No No not sega it is 4kids thay rip the soul out of evry thing thay get there hands on. But i herd that the contract ended and that is y sonic games r geting better. I can't w8 4 sonic and the black knight.
THEY MESSED UP The whole story after Sonic Adventure 2.And come on you know its true. Just Like Shadow have Sega forgotten about him? they show him a little. Sega its good trying new things but don't add weapons look what happened to Shadow the Hedgehog.
@codytheBrawler9029 True. Sonic Unleashed's Werehog stages weren't all that slow or long, but people say each stage was 20 minutes long when it's not. I think the majority of them sucked at it because of some part of the game and the same thing happens with this game. A good player can blaze through most enemies without stopping at all or at least for no more than 3 seconds. How they can hate this and praise Mario's watergun is beyond me.
its just not the same sonic anymore...now they have twists to sonic games like in sonic unleashed and the werehog and its just wierd. Im still giving this a chance.
This gonna be coolll! Sonic with a sword is cooll.........but still weird...but more cool......yeah. king arther is hawt (ima girl) another book to fly into...meh. the story will probably (no promises) be crap. but the gameplay sounds fun! thats all i ask for.
I hope this time SEGA actually means it for putting Knuckles, Shadow, and Blaze as PC. In Sonic Unleashed Shadow and Knux were CONFIRMED to be in Sonic Unleashed but they werent.
Thanks, of coarse im a good Sonic fan, everyone that has been complaining about Sonic unleashed and this game, arn't even true Sonic fans. They should just stay with Mario.
i think people are being a little harsh on this game. you cant judge it on past preformences without ever playing it. so guys, stop beating up on it BEFORE you play it ok?
a, sword? they gave sonic a sword? they had the BALLS to give one of the greatest video game characters of all time, a SWORD??!!?!!?! NO!!!!!!! DOES NOT COMPUTE!! DOES NOT COMPUTE!!! SHITTY GAME DETECTOR IS GOING OFF!!!!! WHY SONIC TEAM? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!??!!!?!?!?!!????!?!?!?
Not trying to sound like an ass or anything but if "the team behind Sonic and the Black Knight is keenly aware of the franchise's past missteps, and their enthusiasm for doing right by the series is infectious." why don't they just use the old Sonic formula of running really fast, doing 2 levels and a boss at the end? I mean, it always worked before and if it ain't broken, don't fix it
u kno its funny how mario was nintendo n sonic was sega now hes takin over mario, crash b which were good adventure games but like mario sonic is is dying slowly but surely how do u go 4rm savin da world 2 partyin n playin tennis an its funny cuz nintendo r puttin sonic n front of mario dis is sad mario is or WAS a legend now sonic is also on S.S.B.B what is dat shit
this game (though at first apeared a gimmick) looks great! and if this is a gimmick then Mario going into space and the star bits are a gimmick, F.L.U.D.D. was a gimmick, and Luigi's mansion was a gimmick. Think about it those games that I reffered to were great! We just automatically call this a crappy game because of sonic's mishaps. Its not the gimmick that hurts the game. Its the bad executiuon of the gimmick and production of the game itself. Can I get an amen? XD
Well, the proper reviewers and the general population think otherwise...I tried the 360 version in stores and played the wii version with a gamecube controller and both were relatively unenjoyable, however the wiimote/nunchuck was one of the best sonic experiences yet(Unfortunately Werehog = Crash Bandicoot, not Sonic...all it was missing was apples) - SEGA have stated that they've acknowledged the faults of Secret Rings and this game should turn out well, we'll have to wait and see.
but see where they messed up is making it a wii only game this game would be excellent on the 360 also the secret rings would have been great on the 360 2.
actually m8 both of the games would be crap on the 360. In the black knight u swing the sword with your wiimote and in secret rings u turn the remote like a wheel to control sonic so it wouldnt work and would be the least favourate. We dont need hd graphics here m8!
well that is true thats da only flaw if they made those games on 360 n ps3 the would have to make specialcontrollers for them like the ps2 used to make the sword controller for onimusha 3 but for the turning like a wheel that can always be modified to use the analog sticks it doesnt matter anyway my wii broke under unknown circumstances but im gettinb a new one anyway i have to pick up the secret rings again as well as this game
If they're gonna make a cheesy medieval-based sonic game, they should at least make his sword a proper length, instead of having it look like it was made for someone twice his height. Full-body armour might've been cool, too...MAYBE.
he can use armour but not full body and you have to either find or buy it he can pick up other swords,gaunlets,i think helms werent confirmed yet but might be abke to wear one
I personally think it's too early to judge whether or not this will be a bad game. When Sonic Unleashed was announced, people cringed at the idea of a Werehog, but it actually turned out to be a good, solid game. Black Knight has promise, but they have to do it right.
Sonic with a sword is the stupidest idea ever! He's not Link! That's like if they made a Zelda game based on speedy platforming, It wouldn't work and neither will this!
"Come back here and take what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!"
... and that's all I can think about when I hear the name of this new Sonic game... XD ... unfortunately, I suspect they won't go that route, which would be hilarious.
i say gameplay and the storyline is beta than the graphics take FF7 4 an example(PS1) the character graphics r crap and peeps love the game coz of the storyline and the controls and sonic cronicles is the same thing and my bro( loves FF) cant wait 2 play the remake of FF7 coz of the storyline and graphics(not sure bout controls though :(
i dont know about this now....come on now "Sonic The Hedgehog"....with a sword... i aint gon knock it befor i play it but i dont think this will be too "throwed" (good for those who dont know)
too much Sonic these days around, not enough quality... Why do Sega release so many bad games in one year... can't they take their time to make ONE good game? is it too much to ask?
Sonic Unleashed, Sonic and the black knight, Sonic Chronicle, Sega Superstar Tennis and so on..
why do you ppl do this: you always say they focused on the graphics to much and not gameplay then when they do game play more you say not enough graphics they arent perfect damn just shut the fuck up and play the game be glad sega exists!
I can't say I don't like this game when I don't even know anything about it, so I guess I'll be excited. However, if there's one thing that should be true for this game, it's the fact that it should have LoZ:TP controls. The "Secret Rings" controls screwed me over royally. :(
those guys with -1 dont know how good will be this games because it mix 2 tings that i like and im sure that other guy like it SONIC with that cool SWORD
Sonic with a sword??? When they gave Shadow a gun I alrdy started to have my doubts about the series but this is my limit. Fuk you sonic! *goes to back to SSBB*
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Look, this is ridiculous. Sonic having a sword is as ridiculous as Shadow having a gun, Knuckles having brass knuckles, Tails having a slapjack, and Amy having a flamethrower.
Sega had it right with Sonic Advance 1-3 and Sonic Rush 1. After that, they keep trying things that don't work.
Capcom released MegaMan9, Nintendo released New Super Mario Bros. Take the hint, Sega. The old school stuff is still fun as long as the level design is good and the bosses are tough and original.
i agree sonic 1 and 2 were awsome but why a sword now after all the other sonics why he got a sword?!?! it looks like it should be zelda not sonic the hedgehog!
"the team behind Sonic and the Black Knight is keenly aware of the franchise's past missteps, and their enthusiasm for doing right by the series is infectious."
thats been that way for a couple of years. I luv some of the slightly new Sonic games (Heroes, Shadow, Secret rings (havnt played 360)), but reviewers and pretty much everyone else hates some of the new Sonic games
sega has gone a little too far.i guess they were getting annoyed with nintendo making all those fire emblem things and all of those nerds buying them out of stock. but i have to admit, it does look kinda cool
oh, well about the looking like Zelda Fire Emblem (which knowing him the way I do) it probably is the Black Knight, but no I think Sega just realizes there is a market for people who are into this kind of thing (Swords and Magic)
SEGA is not copying Legend of Zelda. The Beast thing (Werewofl) has been in other stories, games, movies. The sword thing has also been going on in stories, movies, and certain games. Sonic will be trying both of those things out. So it's not like Legend of Zelda started Wolves and swords.
THEY making new games and people have different views about games none of u is right or wrong surely xbox 360 is awersome and all but the wii does suffin diferent have ya seen the motion work on xbox360 no ps3 no so shut up people there are games that suit EVERYONE Loldon't like dis wait till ya play then we see who reli laughin sonic is sega mascot and nintendo is mario, beats me i have neither, i play at ma friend's and he got both thats all end
Hold on. I think wat their trying to say is this in a nicer way. Unless ur a hardcore fan, there have been recent sonic games that were just awful. And with this, its staind SEGA. Everyone anticipates that this game will be equally bad, and thats natural. Ima give it a chance before i starts dissing it.
a sword?? seriously, they really just wanna kill sonic, i mean for a character that runs 400 mph and is a hedgehog...using a sword...sigh* sega, when will you ever learn...
Yeah, I know. I actually did that on purpose to reflect on his previous adventures. Black Knight is considered somewhat of a sequel to Secret Rings, with the "storybook" theme.
So many good games but only for Wii...
And the 360/PS3 gamers got Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 as exclusive, what unfair. =(

Sonic with a sword is the stupidest idea ever! He's not Link! That's like if they made a Zelda game based on speedy platforming, It wouldn't work and neither will this!

speedy zelda game could work if link was on epona

"It's just a flesh wound."
"Come back here and take what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!"
... and that's all I can think about when I hear the name of this new Sonic game... XD ... unfortunately, I suspect they won't go that route, which would be hilarious.

I wonder what his super form will be in this game, since I know the Chaos Emeralds won't make an appearance again...

Maybe darkspines again.

Well, that was from those rings. I doubt they are back again.

Maybe Sonic will wear a legendary knight armor without a shield because he has speed...and a sword that talk's.

too much Sonic these days around, not enough quality... Why do Sega release so many bad games in one year... can't they take their time to make ONE good game? is it too much to ask?
Sonic Unleashed, Sonic and the black knight, Sonic Chronicle, Sega Superstar Tennis and so on..

I can't say I don't like this game when I don't even know anything about it, so I guess I'll be excited. However, if there's one thing that should be true for this game, it's the fact that it should have LoZ:TP controls. The "Secret Rings" controls screwed me over royally. :(

Look, this is ridiculous. Sonic having a sword is as ridiculous as Shadow having a gun, Knuckles having brass knuckles, Tails having a slapjack, and Amy having a flamethrower.
Sega had it right with Sonic Advance 1-3 and Sonic Rush 1. After that, they keep trying things that don't work.
Capcom released MegaMan9, Nintendo released New Super Mario Bros. Take the hint, Sega. The old school stuff is still fun as long as the level design is good and the bosses are tough and original.

okay, seriously.
you were whining when Shadow got a gun, but your seriously trying to tell me that this game will rock?!?
Ever since Heroes, its been going down, trying new gimmicks! NOW A SWORD?!?!
jeez... and I thought unleashed baffled me...
zxxmarioparodyxx 3 years ago
1. Sonic NEEDS to use the sword to beat the black knight
2. This is a story book game about KNIGHTS
3. Shadow never needed guns, SEGA was just high.
4. The werehog is a good addition
5. Based on the trailer, they're implementing the sword really well with sonic's speed
Now good day sir.

i agree sonic 1 and 2 were awsome but why a sword now after all the other sonics why he got a sword?!?! it looks like it should be zelda not sonic the hedgehog!

"the team behind Sonic and the Black Knight is keenly aware of the franchise's past missteps, and their enthusiasm for doing right by the series is infectious."
thats been that way for a couple of years. I luv some of the slightly new Sonic games (Heroes, Shadow, Secret rings (havnt played 360)), but reviewers and pretty much everyone else hates some of the new Sonic games

sega has gone a little too far.i guess they were getting annoyed with nintendo making all those fire emblem things and all of those nerds buying them out of stock. but i have to admit, it does look kinda cool
gir4president 3 years ago
oh, well about the looking like Zelda Fire Emblem (which knowing him the way I do) it probably is the Black Knight, but no I think Sega just realizes there is a market for people who are into this kind of thing (Swords and Magic)

not to take the piss but i think sega has been watching to much zelda first sonic turn into a werehog (wereworf) in unleashed
now a sword
what next sonic and the heros clothes
masterman280 3 years ago
SEGA is not copying Legend of Zelda. The Beast thing (Werewofl) has been in other stories, games, movies. The sword thing has also been going on in stories, movies, and certain games. Sonic will be trying both of those things out. So it's not like Legend of Zelda started Wolves and swords.

THEY making new games and people have different views about games none of u is right or wrong surely xbox 360 is awersome and all but the wii does suffin diferent have ya seen the motion work on xbox360 no ps3 no so shut up people there are games that suit EVERYONE Loldon't like dis wait till ya play then we see who reli laughin sonic is sega mascot and nintendo is mario, beats me i have neither, i play at ma friend's and he got both thats all end
cpgangsterx 3 years ago 3
Hold on. I think wat their trying to say is this in a nicer way. Unless ur a hardcore fan, there have been recent sonic games that were just awful. And with this, its staind SEGA. Everyone anticipates that this game will be equally bad, and thats natural. Ima give it a chance before i starts dissing it.
istandidol 3 years ago
Opinions before and after the release of games won't be set in stone.
So, for most of you: Why bother dissing this game?
Are you trying so desperately hard to persuade us to not play it?
