Oh man...the cycle continues. Why am I looking forward to this game??? Glad to hear about the new composer. The music (theme anyway) is leagues better than the Secret Rings theme.

I wish that SEGA or someone would create a homeworld for Sonic. I don't mean an earthlike place, but a weird looking world with only critters. Like Mario has the Mushroom Kingdom/World, I think Sonic needs to get the heck off of Earth. Also...Tails needs to ditch the mechs and fight with his Tail God of War style. I actually like multiple playable characters, just not too many ridiculous ones like Ester the Bandersnatch or Shakira the hummingbird...or whatever other ridiculous animals they can find in a dictionary. It took me long enough to find out what a freaking echidna was.

Who the heck's brilliant idea was it to put Tails in a freaking Mech anyway?

Get Sonic off of Earth, and Earth-like planets. Sonic is not Mega Man.

I thought Sonic lived on Mobius. Was that just the cartoon?

It was in the US games too AFAIK but not in the japanese ones. If you think the bad guy should be called Robotnik instead of Eggman then you probably should think of the planet as Mobius too.

The series has been on a downturn since they made Robotnik (back) into Eggman here in the states. It's probably a complete coincidence, but that was the demarcation for me.

Not saying it deserves its success, but Secret Rings did show a direction MORE PROMISING AND MORE INTERESTING than any of Sonic's previous 3D games to date. I want to see Black Knight deliver.

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #106 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:34:58 PM »

This will be playable at the New York Comic-Con. I'm anxious to see if its good (damn Sonic cycle...).
Secrets Rings wasn't amazing but it was a helluva lot better than Unleashed.

Peachylala · « **Reply #107 on:** January 28, 2009, 08:04:24 PM »

As long as they get rid of the unneeded crap, it might deliver. Not holding my breath though.

Yes!

"Secret Rings" was such a good game and highly underrated.

It appears Sega is sending this one out to die (save for its UNRIVALED STAR POWER).

About zero new media on the title coming out of Sega of America despite its release next week. Sega's been focusing heavily on its non-casual titles for grown-ups.

A good sign that Sega's planning significant marketing support for The Conduit?

There is a video on the Nintendo channel.
I'm going to try and get this.I am going to play it at a friends house.

Sega said the Werehog was going to return.

haha, Sega just trolled its entire fanbase.

Has anybody gotten this game?

Djunknown · « **Reply #115 on:** March 03, 2009, 11:18:17 PM »

I made a stop at Best Buy, Gamestop and Target. All of them said they'll have it by tomorrow afternoon. I doubt they'll fly off the shelves... unless the Sonic faithful are forgiving more numerous than I thought.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #116 on:** March 04, 2009, 12:01:38 AM »

Well, IGN's review is in. 3.9 overall.

I would wait for more reviews, though. This was written by Matt, the same Matt who trashed Wii Music. Apparently, the review even has spelling errors, making it look like this was written out of sheer annoyance. Plus, Matt REALLY hates waggle, or anything that uses motion control.

Not to mention that in other impressions they say you can avoid combat and focus on speed (which uses the same techniques as in "Secret Rings").

So again, more reviews should be read.

Yowza. I'm not one to put my trust into scores, but even that has to give me pause.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #118 on:** March 04, 2009, 12:23:11 AM »

I admit, if the review was done by someone else I would be concerned. But since it was Matt I am taking it with a grain of salt.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #119 on:** March 04, 2009, 12:26:41 AM »

Well Nintendo Power gave it a 8/10.
The only thing I saw in the NP review that was bad was that the the standard sword attacks didn't chain together smoothly.Other than that the combat worked well.
The other thing was the length of the main game.But there is lots of missions,unlocking characters,improving mission rankings.In addition to that there is ranked online contests and Multiplayer versus bouts.

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #120 on:** March 04, 2009, 12:36:03 AM »

I'm still holding out for a review copy, (Plz Sega. I might not give it a 4.0 like I did Sonic Unleashed) but I'm getting sucked in by the Sonic cycle again. Also, I really enjoyed Secret Rings.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #121 on:** March 04, 2009, 02:21:13 AM »

This game is looking great.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #122 on:** March 04, 2009, 02:25:04 AM »

You know what? Blame this on the Sonic cycle, but I feel Black Knight will be a better game than "Unleahed" and even "Secret Rings".

When I first saw the trailer for the werehog stages I knew it would have problems. Its a platforming beat em up, and those barely work.

Yet, I see "Black Knight" footage and think the combat will not be an issue. It looks as if Sonic keeps running and dispatches baddies in one hit. "Unleashed" forced you into battles by stopping the game and creating barriers, forcing you to stop and beat every baddie. And they don't go down in one hit.

Once again, Black Knight seems to do this much better with battles being fast.

Of course it might be different in the final game. But the Comic Con impressions and the impressions make the game look like an overall solid effort.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #123 on:** March 04, 2009, 02:35:20 AM »

Yeah I get the same impression Pap.
The combat,I've seen, have been quick.Of course if you don't feel like fighting you could just speed through the levels.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #124 on:** March 04, 2009, 10:52:39 AM »

The problem I have with Matt's review is he doesn't state if the game is better or worse then Secret Rings. Yeah he says that Unleashed is a better game, but Black Knight isn't the sequel to Unleashed, it's the sequel to Secret Rings. If the game is worse then Secret Rings, then he should state why it's worse. Instead he doesn't even mention any difference in the 2 games, and just says the game sucks and that's it.

If your going to review a sequel to a game, say how it compares to the other. If there's something Black Knight does that's better or worse then Secret Rings, then say it so people who might have liked or hated Secret Rings, can make a good informed decision.

I was one of the people who was on the fence when it came to Secret Rings. There's was some things I liked about it, others I hated. If Black Knight improves on the area's I hated, then I might purchase the game. But if it failed to improve or made things even worse, then I'll pass. This is what I wanted to know, and Matt failed to inform, which is the whole point of reviews in the first place.
