First off, I've been a longtime Sonic fan and are actually able to say that I really like this game.Some will complain about the inclusion of Sonic having a sword but I found it to be a unique addition. The control scheme for this game is pulled off wonderfully; and nothing feels forced or too difficult.Anyway, Wii's not known to deliver graphics most of the time (with a few exceptions), but I was surprised by the graphics in this game. Considering that it's not an HD game, but it pulls off some great effects. It's colorful but at the same time the color scheme is "soft" rather than bleeding or too much. The graphics are sharp and crisp. It just looks fantastic.If I were to compare this game's graphics to any Sonic game, I'd say it's in the same league as Sonic Unleashed. (although not as high res considering I own the 360 version)The control is a refreshing experience. I was really disappointed with the control scheme that "Sonic and the Secret Rings" featured (because it was pseudo-gyroscopic control that reacted to the Wiimote's tilting)), but Sonic and the Black Knight controls with the Nunchuck and Wii-mote. The Nunchuck's analog stick moves Sonic, Z pulls off some blocking move, A makes sonic jump, B pulls off a Soul Surge attack and swinging the Wii mote will make Sonic swing his sword or pull off combos. (which are both ground and aerial)The sword utilizes "waggle" so feel free to not worry about precision. Bottom line, if you swing the wiimote, sonic will slash an opponent. With that said, some parts of this game requires some timing; which will require you to wait until prompted before taking a swing.The sound in this game was a mixed bag. On one hand, the sound effects are exactly what I'd expect and the voice acting is pretty good; but the music was lacking. Normally, I'd at least compliment a sonic game on it's music (such memorable tunes like Green Hill Zone, Mushroom Zone, the entire soundtrack of Sonic adventure and so on), but the problem with the soundtrack in SATBK is that it's generic and mostly forgettable; which is a problem with most games nowadays.Now onto the gameplay-Sonic and the Black Knight is an on-rails adventure game. Meaning that while you have freedom of movement, you're forced to play one linear path of continuously going forward. If you even try walking backwards, sonic will not turn around. Instead, he will walk in reverse. But fret not, Sonic and The Black Knight offers a pretty decent story and gameplay worth playing. You're also given the ability to revisit any level you've beaten at any time you want.There are alot of levels. Most are short and sweet; while others add a little more. There are boss battles which will require some timing or all out hack and slashing elements, but if one thing's for certain, Sonic and the black knight continues the traditional gameplay we've all come to expect from Sega- which narrows down to replay value and mastering levels for an even higher score than previously earned.The core of it's gameplay relies on using Sonic's sword (Excalibur) and hack and slashing all whilst rushing to a goal. Everything is timed, but you don't have to rush to the goal. However, making it to a goal faster rewards you with a better ranking.Overall, if you're looking for a Sonic game that offers a unique experience for the Wii, with smooth control and great graphics, I highly recommend this as a purchase. The replay value, graphics, the control and it's unique "wii only" gameplay warrants this as a must get game.I bought it used for about 20 bucks. Was in perfect almost unused condition. No damage to case, still had the booklet, disc had no scratches. Works perfectly.My boyfriend and I have made it our mission to play every stupid Sonic game we can get our hands on and this one does not disappoint. The dichotomy of the fiddle music and the butt rock. The beloved cast in medieval cosplay. The chili dogs. CHILI DOGS. This game is way more entertaining than it has any right to be. It has filled an emptiness in me. It has buttered my biscuit. It has made this ever-expanding void called life significantly easier to endure. What a gift.As a video game connoisseur, I give it a 3/10 for a profoundly confusing interface and batshit plot. But as a human being? 10/10 for the life it has bestowed upon us. Thank you, Sonic.Oh yeah, the disc worked too, arrived on time and in perfect condition. Thnx!!I bought this for my son. Usually, I don't have the time or the patience to write impartial review. However this game was described as "In good condition". The game was almost mint condition! I think that I gained more in this transaction than the seller. I would recommend them anytime. Thanks! You made a 9 y boy very happy in this time of despair.This one seemed a little easier than some of the other Sonic Wii games and the story line like "Sonic and the Secret Rings" was very unique compared to other Sonic games.Disc came really dusty and dirty so that was a little offputting but other than that it was fine.Although I in fact enjoyed this game when I first got it... I was a bit puzzled with the negative reviews. Over a bit more time of playing... I noticed how some people are frustrated with the game. Anyways.. just recently I was watching my younger cousin play the game that I gave him.. And he actually spent hours on end until he reached the final boss! Overall.. I wouldn't say the game is as bad as some make it out to be... But be warned: if you only want to play a traditional sonic game... Do not buy this.Its a slow paced game with no lag the Time aprox 3 to 5 Hours.Button delay has vanish this time around I dont care for the story its more of a Saturday morning cartoon story is not as Advance and deep as Sonic Adventures 2 or Sonic the hedgehog (2006) witch is fine I loved the RPG style and direction the Sonic and the secret rings was going. so control Vs RPG mechanic I'll go with RPG Mechanic I do think you should pick this up if your a Sonic fan tho its a Allright game no where near The GENESIS Trilogy because those games are not a waste of your hard time and cash.Didn't work, scratch, disappointed little boyPleased with purchaseA great game no problems thank you sega.Arrived fast into my mailbox. The packaging was torn, but I don't know if it's because of the carrier or customs. Works without an issue, and manual is still intact.parfait pour les petits enfants
