I'm going to throw this prediction right out there now:

Sonic and the Black Knight will end up with a 80+ review score average, sell over 100k in it's first week(worldwide), and go on to do 2 million eventually.


Might be a dumb prediction, but I have hope for it. Saving this thread for future reference, too.

Overall review score is bold. More than likely 6s and 7s for review scores. People just love to hate on Sonic so that'll continue.

Sales? I'm thinking about 1.5 million. Will do about 100k-200k in its first week and then just continue to sell like the other Sonic games.

It will have a 72 Metacritic ranking because 9 out of 10 reviewers are either Wii bias or are against Post-Genesis Sonic.

Yeah, the score part is what I thought was bold. The other stuff is pretty expected. I know a lot of people hate Sonic just for the hell of it, but I actually have some hope here.

3 million life time sales. Review scores in the 5-6 range. It will be a slow burner. 50k at launch.

Those rules mostly apply to ps360 versions. Wii ones could squeeze a 75 if Sega really tries...

I don't think It'll get that score but it should sell 2 mil.
(>'.')>

I can't speech for the whole game but Sonic Unleashed's 360 demo was almost unplayable compared to the full Wii version.  Also I talk about the 360 version of Sonic and it was GARBAGE.  The only reason I still own it is because I thought the game's attempt at a plot was FUNNY.

Never played the demo but the Sonic levels were better on the 360. There was more to them...branching paths, better camera controll due to 2 analogs...much more speed...

My gf who has a wii bought the game and had to buy the classic controller because she couldn't beat the later sonic levels with the wii mote.

She has to switch between every level...nunchuk for werehog and classic controller for sonic levels.

I just use gamecube controller for both, werehog and sonic levels. No trouble so far.

I think the ratings will be just below 80 and it will sell around 2-3m.
