  Oh God, what else can they do to that poor little hedgehog. Can't Sega just let him die in peace?

  It could surprise us and be half decent, but I doubt it. How the hell are they going to combine speed and swordplay in the same sections anyway? It's going to be more like flailing madly and anything else.

  It's a sequel to Secret Rings and so it'll most definitely keep the same style of level transaction that was employed there. The sword only comes into it because of the setting which is an Arthurian medieval setting in this game. Don't know if the sword is actually getting used in game but if it is it's only being used for attacks so it shouldn't detract away from the gameplay set out in Secret Rings.
