Seriously why. Sonic and the Black Knight was the last one and it was also the last time you could beat the final boss to a kickaas buttrock theme song. Why don't we have this anymore?
Not reeeeeally? The game is hugely oversold online, pitched as being a great story but it has maaaybe ten cutscenes tops? It is better to play than Secret Rings, but the onrails sword combat is still kind of bad. It's over in under five hours if you're good though. I think if you miss the 4kids voice cast, or more broadly when Sonic was 'cringe and anime' it might be an okay afternoon. It has less charm than Adventure 2 and less brave ambition than Shadow '05.
