Digital Chumps: Sonic & The Black Knight Review

Eric Layman: "I thought maybe I wasn't getting it and this wasn't appealing to me simply because I am 25 years old and Sonic should no longer be "for me." But then I remembered playing 2D Sonic when I was eight years old, not caring about the lack of any sort of narrative (I used my imagination to fill in the blanks), and having an absolute blast with all the different levels. Kids today might enjoy the injection of a story, but they shouldn't be subjected to repetitious mechanics and unresponsive controls. Poor design is poor design, regardless of the intended age of the consumer."
