Hardgamer: 8/10 for SBK

Tristan Oliver | March 27, 2009

blackknightTranslated from Portuguese: “What Elegance, Sir Sonic!”

For those looking to stray away from all the negativity surrounding Sonic and the Black Knight, we managed to find some good news with the help of TSSZ News reader BlackHawkOmega.

Brazilian gaming site Hardgamer gave the Wii title an 8 out of 10 overall, with very high marks across the board in subcategories, including a 9 out of 10 in the “Fun” category.  Hardgamer is one of Brazil’s premier gaming sites.

It’s a bit hard to publish an excerpt here, but we can offer a link to this loose translation of the review.  All in all, Hardgamer praised the game’s mix of visuals and sound, and they allude to the prospect of many hours being spent on the title with respect to the extras it contains–especially if you’re a Sonic fan.

    This is a very fair review. Even if I’m the last one who should say this I say it: 9 is too high. I give it 8/10 and I want give it more than that.
    But I’m glad that someone dosen’t compare this with the old games whole the times as many of the other does(95 % of the reviwers).
    Their job is to review the game it self not compare the older/previus games. But I would be like that too if Sonic begun too run slow, no homing attack and all that. But you have all this basic elements and some new.
    All of you can say what the hell you want to say but this game is defently worth 8 and 9 if you want to.
    I like it.

    Good review! They are clever in Brazil.

  11. serpx on March 27th, 2009 12.49 pm

    Complete bull.

  12. Sonicophage on March 27th, 2009 1.34 pm

    @Steve and Serpx
    So they like it more than you do, big whoop.

    Their multiplayer score is a little high, but otherwise I agree with this review.

  14. TailstheHedgehog on March 28th, 2009 1.34 am

    @Osnic: yeah, I’m in agreement; it seems all critics need to remind us of the horrors of 06 for a weird reason and then compare it to the ‘glory days’ and then throw in whatver sonic game and decide where it fits between those two. I
    m not sure if this formula is either good or bad or just plain ‘0.o’ but I do think that critics should take the franchise for what it is and not what it used to be.
    What is it?
    Not completely 2D, small straightforward storyline and with three characters to fill the screen.
    But yeah, now I”m ranting.

    Not a bad review!!! Jolly good ;) !

    Finally – a site that gives the game a review it deserves.
