SEGA unveils new Sonic game for Wii News
Wii News by Robert Purchese
SEGA has plans to release a brand new Sonic adventure exclusively for Wii in spring 2009.
It's called Sonic and the Black Knight and is part of the storybook series that started with Sonic and the Secret Rings last year.
Sonic Team is the clever-clogs behind the game. It's set Arthurian Britain where your little blue hedgehog has a sword and can become a knight - and perhaps fight a dragon and kiss humans.
It will be fast and filled with all the usual faces from the series, plus sport a similar motion-sensing control system to Secret Rings.
Other details are scarce, but hopefully it won't stray too far from the less-is-more reinterpretation that Sonic and the Secret Rings charmed us with.
That game still commands a spot in the UK all formats top 40 chart, and finished at 22 last week.

I bought Secret Rings on EG's recommendation (admittedly once it had hit the bargain bins) and it was utter shit.

Wonder if sonic will change into a few different things with different abilities, like kid chameleon

likewise, I thought the original was rubbish as well, although for me it was borrowing from a friend, so no money lost ;)

the motion sensor portion of the controls weren't the problem i had. It was having to charge jumps and release running against decades of platformer experience with a throughly opposite method. It was counter intuitive for me and always felt awkward. If this games uses the same jump mechanic I shall be giving it a miss thank you.

Secret Rings is an awful mess of a game, horrid to play. How it reviewed well I don't know.

Like others I too purchased it based on the EG review, now when I read a review I think, will it be another sonic?.
I was having fun, then I noticed I would rather play something else or make excuses than boot the sonic game so back it went. EB in Australia have a return policy where you can return it for credit in the first week no questions asked. |

I came from the dreadful 360 version of Sonic the Hedgehog to the addictive Wii version of Sonic and the Secret Rings and that game was an absolute joy to play in comparison, believe you me. The decision to make the game a Pandemonium-style 2D game in a 3D world worked well and the only gripe was the inability to turn and run the other way, instead you could only WALK backwards. Still it was a game where you had to keep moving forward so it didn't spoil the game significantly for me. Good game, probably the best Sonic since... forever really.
