It's not a greatsword. Judging by the hilt, Excalibur (as is presented here) is a bastard sword - a sword too long to be strictly one-handed but too short to be strictly two-handed. Though that isn't very realistic as the people who designed it don't know how balancing works, why western swords have pommels, etc.

The length of the blade is that of a longsword (a strictly two-handed sword, longer than a bastard sword) but the length of the hilt is balanced for a bastard sword with a pommel but it doesn't have one. Granted, the mere fact that it's blade is straight and not stupidly wide and that it has an actually functional guard is a rarity amongst fictional swords, *caugh* Nero *caugh*. Yet they still managed to fuck it up.
