@@cosmictsylo9135 yeah, it feels like more recently sonic seems much less a hero in the way he's portrayed. Jokes are fine sometimes, even in colors it fit the tone they were going for but trying to make him act like a cartoon character doesn't work as well in the games for some reason compared to the actual cartoons like boom and prime.

Some people say this game's message is depressing. That its saying "life is short, so make the most of it while you still can." But its more than that. The message is to LIVE LIFE. Stop worrying about when it will end, because that's not what life is about. Life is about living. Its about the journey. Life is short, but that is what makes it so precious.

Merlina is that one boss in The black knight that you can beat super fast once you figure out how the Crit slash works you beat her in two rush attacks. Blaze in the IDW comics does describe Sonic as "Being free as the wind, he has no master" letting a little bit of Percival out.

Its also interesting how Sonic thematically plays the opposite role here and in Frontiers Here he is the harbinger of the end, he's fighting against Merlina's goal of trying to save the world by forcing it to never change, while in Frontiers he's fighting The End, he's trying to save the world from it's end They both share diametrically opposite messages and yet he's in-character in both of them

Like really, its like Sonic is fighting himself Just in different incarnations in both games Its also fun that in a way Sonic here is both Arthur AND Mordred, as he killed illusion Arthur and was the one choosen by the sword Lastly but not least its also fun that this game kinda predicts what would have been "gotcha!" moments from its players if it had been released without the twist at the end "So Sonic doomed Camelot right? I mean he killed King Arthur and how the story goes" "Well yeah but maybe Merlina will save it with the scabbard afterwards? Pretty sure thats what they implied, since now she has the power of immortality after Sonic gave it to her before he left" The twist both answers and destroys both of these conceptions and makes you wonder what happened afterwards where it left off

Honestly, this and Secret Rings are if anything my favorite representations of the Sonic franchise as a whole. Whenever I think of Sonic, whenever I want to try and act Sonic or something, I think back at Black Knight. This is the game that I believe solidified my love for this franchise in a way I don't think any other Sonic game could, and every time I remember it exists I am glad I have a Wii. This is peak Sonic, the story most deserving of a crown for the franchise, and fittingly, its the story where our blue blur was a king all along.

Sonic and the Black Knight is still, to this day, my number one sonic game. It portrayed Sonics character best, as well as his moral code and honor as a knight. It had one of the coolest super sonic variants, one of the best soundtracks, and probably the best story in a sonic game that I've ever played imo. Not discrediting other sonic games, this ones just my number one since my childhood.

This was my first exposure to Sonic as a character. I grew up just playing the classic Sonic games, but this was the first game I played where I got to experience Sonic as a character. I really looked up to Sonic and I agree this is the peak of his character. It's kinda sad that the next game was Colors where the writers went for a more comical approach ( I actually really liked colors) . I think sonic tackling a difference in ideals to be very compelling for him as a character.

You're right. But to be fair,whatever happened after colors wasn't colors' fault. During that time,sonic series was getting too serious so they went with a completely different direction with colors and it was a breath of fresh air. The problems started with generations where the story of the game was practically non-existent. Lost world is where they started to play things safe because they were too afraid to try something new because people just loved to hate on sonic. And don't even get me started with Forces. They didn't even try with that one. They only made this game to cater to the audience and to get satisfactory scores from the reviewers. It's the least inspiring sonic game.

On the other hand, I agree that Black Knight is among one of the best characterizations of Sonic, I loved the gameplay and the amazing story that comes with it.

This game's story had an impact on me as I moved into my teenage years and now as an adult, "Live Life" is still truly a special song to me. Thank you for this video, it perfectly sums up the thoughts I have as well.

I personally think that "With me" is a significantly better final battle theme than "7 Rings in Hand" for one simple reason: overuse. "7 Rings in Hand" is used as the title card, stage select, mission victory AND failure theme. And THEN they play it again for the final boss. To me, it just comes across as the developers reusing the song because they didn't have time to compose anything else. (Admittedly, that's probably what happened, but it still bogs down the finale a bit)

The story series and rider series were both my favorite in the entirety of the sonic franchise. I wish so desperately for them to get more sequels, but it probably wont happen since the people who gave them flak spoke so loudly, and its sad. Its sad some of the most interesting concepts and stories wont get touched on again for that reason. Its sad we wont get new interesting story books touched with the flare of one of my favorite franchises and character cast. It's sad that sonics' best rival his lovable rouge fellows probably won't show up again. It's sad that the sonic games going forward will lack this soul. Im not saying the newer games dont have it or interesting concepts, but they won't ever be this grand again, and its disheartening. Frontiers has had the best creative execution since Unleashed (imo), and while the concept of forces was good, the execution of gameplay lacked (again, imo) and boom was just a mess.. I wish i could go back in time and experience the games in which i love so much all over again for the first time, they were so special. No matter what people say, Seven rings, black knight, and riders, will be PEAK for me. For both their OSTs, story/lore, and characters, as well as the joy they brought me when i played them. I have replayed those games so many times, i am always in love, but i wish i could see another part of those creative stories again anew with new stories to tell.

So much Sonic and the Black Knight love nowadays! I’ve loved it for years now, and I’m glad it’s gotten the nostalgic treatment some stuff usually gets. Star Wars prequels? Maliciously maligned until around a decade later, and now they’re beloved. The Amazing Spider-Man movies? Now seen as a nice treat; not perfect, but Andrew Garfield’s portrayal is now beloved. Pokémon Black/White? Gen 1 hype was at its highest at the time, so a lot of hate was levied towards those games. And now they’re seen as possibly the best games in the franchise. And now we have Sonic and the Black Knight. Love to see it.

Since the year this game came out, (I was 7 years old) I always had a soft spot for this game and I genuinely don’t think a year went by where I don’t play this game at least once a year, I’m now 21 years old and I know I’ll play this game at some point

As a kid I always skipped the cut scenes because I didn't like the story book aesthetic and only finished the game because I loved sonic and thought knights were cool. I still prefer stuff like the sonic unleashed opening, but I now see how great the stories were in these games.

I think one of my biggest dreams as a Sonic fan is an Open Zone/World remake for the Storybook games. I just want to speed through a big desert and save villages from underworld monsters........ Please Sega..........

I've always adored this game ever since I played it as a kid. It's had an ENORMOUS influence on my life, and people calling Sonic having a sword stupid... Well... I think it's AWESOME, and I WILL be referencing this game and it's ideas in the upcoming Smash Bros digital comic I've been working on. 😁

I actuly rember another reviewer crisise the ending of this game. How I saw it Sonic and Merlina on the surface have the same goal. Once she starts reveling details is when Sonic realises how different their belives really are. Merleina waning the world to stop in place to try and preserve a single moment and have it go on forever. Sonic charshing every moment he lives and never stops wanting the world to move forward so he can do the same.

I love sonic and the Black Knight. It is one of my most played Wii Games (together with Wii Sports and Brawl) the music is one of the biggest Reasons. Also CGI in the Unleashed-Storybooks Era are absolutely peak. Also something I really love in this game is the moral system (with is very subtile). I still have the Sonic OST one when I work out or other things like that PS.: I miss the early 3D Sonic Era. SOnic Adventure was THE Game of my Childhood, Sonic Unleashed . made fun to play and was perfect since the changing of the playstiles. And DarkKnight: Well it is the only Sonic Game that made me cry with it's Story I enjoy these Games so much more then those new AAA Titles. I even enjoy Shadow the Hedgehog more besides it's definite Flaws. Only because I can see that the developers making them had a kind of new Idea. And I Hope Sega can see the good work what they did with these Games and not only there flaws

Dude, this is probably one of the best Sonic games. Hate me all you want, but I found the gameplay surprisingly awesome, especially late game. Wielding a sword and slashing enemies was a joy. And the story is just perfect. Largest one my hot takes ever but, it’s true. Well not better than the adventure games ;)

Story book sonic is my favorite sonic. Love Black Knight's story and characterization. Although I will mention SA1 and SA2's story are et down by the pretty awful english translation. Those game's stories are much better when played with the japanese script and japanese voice acting. Unleashed is great too as it was really when Jason Grifith finally found how he wanted to voice sonic and it's still my favorite voice sonic has besides Ryan Drummod. Knight of the Wind is still my favorite Crush 40 song
