Review Sonic and the Black Knight (Wii)
Hardly the stuff of legend.
Describing Sonic’s early career to young gamers is like discussing dinosaurs, it’s been so long since he was the golden boy of video games whose cheeky blue mug was a bringer of joy in the early Nineties. Since then each new game is touted as a “return to form”, with the Wii’s Sonic and the Secret Rings being...

Still meaning to try this. I doubt it'll surpass SatSR since that game was/is really good.
I used to have this game. Its not as bad as the reviewers make out; but the sword play really slows down your momentum. Very un-Sonic in that respect. My lad and I still enjoyed it up to a point and put in a fair few hours before selling it on in the pre-Xmas cul. Not as good as Secret Rings imho.
Sonic Unleashed's Warehog stages are funner than this entire game.
This game looks awesome!!! I'm definitely getting this game on Wii
this game is fun but really hard i can't beat the final boss
The final boss is EASY!!! Wait, are you talking about Arthur (the second time you fight him) or Merlina? Either way, they're both pretty easy but Arthur is harder than Merlina tbh.
Sonic and the Secret Rings sucked imo. The controls are SO hard to get used to!
Black Knight, however, is GREAT! No, scratch that, AWESOME!!! The graphics are so detailed and beautiful, the music is great (what else can you expect from a Sonic game, am I right? Sonic has ALWAYS had great music except the theme song for Secret Rings. Sounds a bit lame imo). The plot is nicely done with a great twist on the original Arthurian legend.
I JUST LOVE THIS GAME!!!
Pretty fun game, combat is the fastest it's ever been in a Sonic game. Unsure of what the review is on about as there are several different moves to execute by tilting the stick or jumping as you swing.
Compared to Sonic and the Secret Rings, I would say this game has done massive improvements over its similar play style in my opinion. Already it was a smart move to include Wii Remote and Nunchuck. I also think the Story is great. The multiplayer mode is pretty dope with its assortment of mini-games, though it could be better.
However, its got its own problems as you still have to do particular Side Quests in order to progress (Not saying thats bad, some are necessary for the story, but some not so much), the Sword combat while appreciated slows you down as opposed to being able to slash through enemies with relative ease (This ESPECIALLY shows when you play as Lancelot, Gawain, and Percival. Percival being the worst of the bunch, I couldn't even get past her darned level so I had to switch to Sonic), some levels are legitimately too difficult for their own good, and so on.
But in my personal opinion if you get behind its flaws, its a pretty good Sonic Game.
