Although I only really played the multi player, pretty much watch my siblings do the rest, I did try a few levels, and yes, the formula is different.

But I don't really mind it.

Other than the Sonic X references. (which were really cool)

I thought it was really fun.

I mean, you can rescue villagers and stuff, there are plenty of enemies, and hey! (unlike Twilight Princess) You'll actually get punished for taking damage!

We get Knuckles back in the Game, YEAH

and Shadow

and Blaze!

alternate swords, and all sorts of goodies. The boss fights were pretty good to, I personally really enjoyed Lancelot's return.

It seems to me that people just can't get over the fact that Sonic is using a sword.

Okay, yeah, I know, but it's a spin off title, not like Xbox360 Sonic Unleashed, you know? :3

I think that it was great, we need more Sonic games like this. I mean, they paid attention to detail, and didn't release something buggy, true, the graphics were so grand, but it PLAYS well. That's what we really need, not shiny graphics with a buggy game. + Kind Aurther was a great villain with an awesome voice. You've got to love im. Especially in multi player, (taunting enemies, and hitting foes BEHIND you!)

So, what say you?

Well its different in a way, but I do like it as I have it. I mean you get to see the others. Amy isn't chasing sonic which was not normal so...you can like pint point out some things like that. I also liked how they had the others, as you said such as blaze and shadow in it. ^-^

I agree, the game gets way too much hate, I didn't mind Sonic using a sword at all, I mean he is in King Arthur's world what else is he supposed to do?? At least he has a reason for using one, unlike Shadow who just picks up a gun and starts shooting stuff? You know what, lets NOT get into that game. However I am going to have to disagree with you on a few things, saying the game plays well, and it isn't buggy.... Well I wouldn't say that, the game does play well for the most part, there are however some glaring issues. For instance Sonic's control can be less then perfect, so many times no matter how careful I was Sonic would just not respond to the brake button and would just careen off the cliff or I would try to jump to be a bit more slow and precise but as soon as I hit the ground Sonic would automatically return to top speed causing me to react prematurely and fall off the cliff, I found this especially annoying when rail grinding, trying to jump off the rail or jumping from rail to rail could be nerve wrecking since Sonic's turning from left to right can be very stiff and hard to control.


The sword controls almost perfectly... ALMOST. The buzz saw attack is perfect shaking the Wii Remote and it reacts exactly when I do, however Sonic's regular attack on the ground is a bit off, he doesn't attack until like 1 or 2 seconds after I shake the Wii Remote, meaning I have to pre time my swings, leading to some cheap deaths. Other then that I do greatly enjoy the game, the problems I do have with it I just put up with and I enjoy what is given to me, the graphics look amazing, the soundtrack OH THE SOUNDTRACK IS GODLY. I mean we get like 4 or 5 Crush 40 songs I mean the game gets brownie points for that alone, the story was actually quite good with a good lesson, the only problem I really have is with some of the controls, but I simply look past those. Yes this game is different, but that is NOT a bad thing, different can be a very good thing, and I think that is why most people don't like Sonic games today, Sega is always doing things differently, they don't stick with the same formula for very long, even when it is popular, the boost gameplay found in Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations were very well received however look what they did with Sonic Lost World, they completely tossed it aside and tried something new. I don't care how different a game compared to its other games for the most part, as long as the game is fun and stays somewhat true to its original roots,( in Sonics case going fast which you do in the game ) I will still play.

I enjoyed the game mostly. they were a few times the controls didn't work but they were few and far between. I thought seeing Sonic with a sword was a cool concept.

solidx123456 :

Yes, the music was epic! I have the whole soundtrack, and Crush 40?! YEAH MAN!

I think that this game was for the real sonic fans of adventure, and adventure 2, and you're right, different can be good, you just have to stick to youre core. In fact, I'm glad Sonic is different each time. I mean, hey, look at Zelda

Same locations, same villain, same princess, almost same dungeons.

Each game is only like, 17% different to the last.

Sonic actually mixes it up, by adding new villians, (Chaos, King Aurther, Mephiles, Black Doom,)

New characters, New places and a new story.

Zelda I don't play anymore cause it is pretty much all the same. Puh lease Nintendo! Do something like MM and stretch out a bit!

How bout fighting a dragon in a field, with Hylian soldiers? Or making some Darknut character playable with his own story? Like sonic adventure?

Oh well.

But you're right solid, I couldn't agree more with you, thanks for the long thoughtful post.





I want to do a black knight RP using seedrians.

I haven't played it, but from what I've seen and from playing Sonic and The Secret Rings, it looks SUPER fun and I really want to play it for myself. It just seems like a really cool concept. I think this might be a pretty good game.

If I ever got my hands on it, I totally would try it out. Even though it got much hate.
