Everyone moaned when Sonic and the Black Knight was announced. Then everyone groaned when some pictures were released for the game. Now everyone will bitc … wait, this doesn’t look that bad!
The game looks to be fast paced still and the sword doesn’t seem to be too gimmicky. It looks like Sonic games will continue to have some kind of gameplay gimmick and I’ll gladly take a sword gimmick over a werehog gimmick.
Side note: the song would actually be great if it didn’t have lyrics … I WANNA FLY HIGH!!!!

"High five, untill the fight is won."
No. Just...no.
And make the Black Knight say something like "It's just a flesh wound." in the final battle XD
oh shat I thought sonic the hound dog
oh poo
No thank you.
I wish the Sonic series would go back to the mediocre but fun/actually playable days with the brilliantly cheesy soundtracks. As horrific as Crush 40's music is, it's so brilliantly catchy that you just can't help but love it in it's powerballadarific way.
I mean, a chao egg had him lifting with his knees.
Sega, I want a real sonic game pls
"edgy" gimmick added? Check.
Three dimensions? Check.
Just needs the addition of another uneeded character and were all set for fail. I still think it will turn out better than unleashed though. But thats not saying much.
The sword moves just seem like an extension of Sonics normal moveset, sword slashes seem to function like the somersault, when he jumps, he uses the sword for extended range, wall jumps with a slow slide down by plunging the sword into a wall.
But really, Sonic with a SWORD? Can't wait to see the convoluted story behind that one.
Employee1: Why don't we give Sonic a sword?
Big Boss Man: K!
And... I kind of like the corny theme songs. I mean, they're ridiculously cheesy and pretty much undeniably bad, but they've got this lovable 80s sheen and misplaced sense of genuineness.
