Sonic and the Black Knight, a game that failed badly.

According to my friend, while in this current Comp. Media class of mine Sonic & the Black Knight sucked.
Heres what IGN said about the game:

Presentation: 8.5
Slick interface, crisp cut-scenes, online trading system and leader boards. In-game graphics look good. Dialog is too campy.

Graphics: 8.5
Really pretty. Varied leveled designs come to life with good art and great effects.

Sound: 7.5
There's a lot of voice work and music and a good chunk of it is over_the_top campy.

Gameplay: 3.0
Possibly designed by monkeys. Everything you've ever liked about Sonic Games - speed, great level designs -- is gone. Instead, you will crawl through stages and fight enemy after enemy, with waggle.

Lasting Appeal: 3.0
You can beat the primary single-player mode in a few hours and then you'll unlock some extra playable characters. But there's no part in going back unless you like torturing yourself.

Overall: 3.9/Bad
(Out of 10/Not an average)




Several comments include:

Dillo64, "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA... HA HA HA HA HA... *hangs self*"

Venom1281, " WOAH. That's an impressive score."

Adfeathers, "For the love of God, can we just end ours and Sonic's misery already and put a bullet in his head?"


BillyChicago, " This might be one of my favorite reviews by Matt. One of my favorite quotes: "This is the backbone of the offensively awful design template that is a succubus, perpetually draining fun away from the experience." Brilliant"

Sergotmatico, "Please please please just put this dying dog down already Sega. Sometimes you just have to know that it's over and just let go."

Chronodestroyer, "Either do Sonic right or kill him (and perhaps yourself as well), Sega. You may not realize this, but with each terrible Sonic game made, you kill off a bit of our childhood everytime. So, please, stop it."




My friend says, "Go out and buy this game." Finished with a slight chuckle, (But hes serious.)

I lost allot of faith in sonic games after Sonic Riders, and recently "Sonic Unleashed".

I agree with the last two comments from IGN you pulled though.
I personally also believe everyone about sonic Sega has killed over time. Between Sonic and Mario I think both gaming companies, Nintendo & Sega, should say farewell to those two and work on developing new age characters.

What I personally feel is that they are only doing it to further make money where some of these ideas they throw into the Sonic legacy, could be easily amazing towards a brand new one instead of ruining a classic.

Good post, TM!
The last good Sonic game made imo was Sonic Heroes, you had teams, different styles to race, fight, etc, it was pretty fun.
Sonic heroes was horrible.

The games "speed" element should be based off of momentum. Not this "instantly fast crap". The classic sonic games were about trying to be fast and meanwhile avoid all of the stages obstacles and traps.

They are ruining his image in more ways than one. Out of all of this, his only good return was Sonic Chronicles (The RPG). Sega needs to put it into gear, bring back classic Sonic action, and for gods sake:

Bring back the Chao Garden.

Money is a bad thing to design by?
