When Sonic and the Black Knight was announced a little while back, most people including myself we’re thinking; “WTF is Sega thinking?” Seeing Sonic running around with a giant ass sword was almost as weird as seeing him morph into a werewolf.

When the first trailer hit the web, my opinion somewhat changed. I actually thought the game had the potential of being the first good Sonic game in a long time. Although, overtime that could change — it is again a next-gen Sonic game.

However, Sega has released a batch of screens from the game and I once again have the confidence this could be good. Not only that, it appears to be one of the best looking Wii games to date.
