Sonic and The Black Night!

[Keith Justice]

Sonic still has some of the greatest theme music of all fucking time.

I swear, this would be my theme song if I had a tv show.

People are so negative...

I'm sold on this game since I READ (i.e. got informed instead of ASSUME thing) about it in Nintendo Power.

And this maks it look even better!

Sounds good but I probably wont be picking up the game. Loved the Secret Rings. But not really wanting a Sonic Slasher game.

'Cept that its not really slasher but more of 'run and slash and keep running'. In fact you get bonus for dispatching multiple enemies quickly. Only the bosses have you slow down.

I'm looking forward to the MP3 of that theme song. :thumbs:

What I think is hilarious, are the people going "It sucks because it's not like the old games!" It may be a valid complaint when you're talking about a regular Sonic game, but this is completely separate series. It would be like people hating Mario Kart because it's not like Super Mario World.

Looks pretty cool to me. Swords are always a plus.

The article also outright state what will be the role of Sonic's friends in there. They'll be an optionnal bonus. IF and only IF you want to you can play as them (Knuckles was confirmed to be dual wielding) but the story is Sonic and only Sonic from start to finish.

It also mentions a versus mode and that 'when you see sword you have certain expectations', i.e. it hints at a battle mode, which is pretty pimp if you ask me.
