Should I get Sonic & The Black Knight?

Here's the reason why everybody always says Sonic is about speed. Because for the most part everytime Sega has tried to add other elements they have failed. People like me who were annoyed at the warehog levels mostly didn't have a problem with the concept. It was the execution where Sega let us down. If it had been like a Sega God of War I think people would have been far nicer.

Sadly the same problem applies to Black Knight, there is no problem with Sonic having a sword, if it is done right. Sadly it isn't. The video, while pretty flambaitish does point out how poorly this game is put together by completing a level by pushing forward and waggling.

I've always been a Sega guy from the late 80's but I think right now what Sonic needs is a serious reboot. Perhaps letting this game fail will get Sega to try and make a real heir to the franchise instead of endless gimmicks who hype dies the second people actually play them.
