Throughout the discussion post, the Reddit user explains that they are not a Sonic fan. Happy Anniversary!Ī couple weeks ago, a Reddit User under the name “ Madethis4Sonicmovie2” created a post discussing their test screening experiences on the second Sonic the Hedgehog film. SatBK is a gem and I love that the fandom is seeing it as one. It’s not perfect, especially with the gameplay, but it nails so much and proves that some games can be adored for more than just the gameplay. It’s a sleeper hit within the 30 years this franchise has been around. He himself stated that SatBK would hold surprises for Sonic fans. I was lucky enough to play SatBK a little bit before it’s release at a convention right next to Aaron Webber. Silver and my boy Jet even appear in this mode! In multiplayer, you can choose between their Arthurian versions or their original appearances. Tails and Amy also make lovely little appearances. Shadow sounds a bit different from his usual portrayal yet it some how works. I’ve gone on the record saying that I personally believe this is Sonic’s best voice ever.Īdd in the fact that Shadow, Knuckles, and Blaze are also used extremely well and are voiced pretty flawlessly. It helps by the fact that Jason Griffith gives his best performance as the Blue Blur. This incarnation of Sonic embodies every single trait that I love to see with the character. My favorite aspect of Sonic’s character is when he goes from relaxed and confident to dead serious over a dire situation.

He’s cocky and a bit carefree, but he’s still heroic. The game excels at nailing what Sonic’s character should be. The themes between Sonic and Merlina are extremely well realized and the banter with Caliburn is honestly perfect. Similarly to how Sonic ended up in the Arabian Nights, Sonic feels appropriately out of place in the tales of King Arthur. Firstly, the story is a bit silly, but it works because it leans into the strengths of the Sonic series. It can be just a bit too waggle-heavy.īut what SatBK really nailed was the story and characterization. Even so, the ranking system and combos you can do are a lot of fun and traveling through the stages as Sonic is a blast. In fact, it has some really clunky moments that don’t work well. However, I think it’s also very fair to say that the gameplay is far from perfect. The stellar graphics, excellent soundtrack, and unique stages make it really special.

I just want to say that SatBK is one of my personal favorite Sonic games.
