Gameplay for Sonic and the Black Knight differs from traditional games in the Sonic series by mixing in the new element of swordplay, along with the traditional Sonic platforming and speed. Swordplay is implemented through the Wii Remote. Players will no longer control Sonic's movement on rails as the team say they have learned from the biggest criticisms about it. The gameplay will mainly be 3D, but occasionally the camera will shift to a side-scrolling perspective for traditional 2D gameplay.
Swordplay will be implemented so that players can slice through enemies without slowing down,[4] but when faced with more formidable enemies, players will engage in advanced swordplay, able to thrust, parry, and perform other maneuvers.[4] The sword will not be used just for combat; players may thrust it through a wall while falling to slow their descent.

I don't know what it is about Sonic, no matter how many times he fails I just can't help but get my hopes up for the next one.
BTW here's an even better trailer

Sonic is not the prince of Persia.

This looks way more Sonic than I expected. I'll think about it, Sega.

So, now when Sonic spins, he spins a sword, too. Also, a swordplay minigame.
I paid $10 for Sonic and the Secret Rings and felt ripped-off. No thanks, Sega.
Sonic Rush Adventure still looks tempting, though.

The trailer looks better than I expected, but I was fooled by Secret Rings as well. If anything, like Unleashed, I'll give this a rental and hope for the best.
