It didn't help that the game came out around four years after the critically panned Shadow the Hedgehog, where Shadow used all sorts of weaponry. Audience-Alienating Premise: While it likely isn't the only reason the game didn't sell well, there was a lot of wariness around the very concept of Sonic wielding a sword.Note that only the Lady of the Lake, who is not part of King Arthur's court, is the only one who even thinks of how knights should treat commoners and innocents. Alternative Character Interpretation: Merlina and the knights of the round table, despite their various noble motives, are all capable of being interpreted as out-of-touch courtiers whose concerns with ethics are more about propriety than any actual virtue.No Wii collection is complete without this outstanding video game.
