Since I’ll be reviewing the iOS version of Sonic 4 Episode II later this week, I thought I’d give my opinion on the many negative reviews for the game that have hit the internet. However, if you really loathed the first episode and hate homing attacks and boosters to no end, I doubt this one will change your mind enough to warrant a purchase. Especially if you’re crazy like me and actually liked the first one. That said, I still think it’s well worth its $15 price point and most Sonic fans should be much happier with this one compared to the last. I never felt the need to spindash almost ever and that just feels odd. While the new Tails gimmick is fun and easy to use, it also cheapens the game a bit. It’s more about standard platforming and going through gimmicks than it is about a good mix of speed and platforming. I actually preferred his music in Sonic 4-1 more (except boss battles.) Also, it’s missing a lot of the “flow” of classic Sonic games. While the soundtrack by Jun Senoue seems to use a few more instruments in its chiptuning and has a more “Genesis” feel, it’s also bland and unmemorable for the most part. However, I say “most respects” because I still think there are a few elements Episode I did better. Hell, Sky Fortress is actually a better zone than the Genesis original it’s based on! The physics work great, the levels are larger, more challenging and more original, and the bosses are definitely more original and tough. This saddens me, because Episode II is an improvement over the first in most respects. Obviously this affects how the critics see the second game and they are being more aware of any flaws they see (hence, the lower scores it’s been getting). The first episode was loved by critics mainly because it was the first 2D Sonic game in HD, but it was torn apart by fans who lambasted every piece of it. On a side note, it’s sometimes fun to troll the person you’re playing with when you play as Tails occasionally I’d slam him into a fish in the water, or some spikes =)Ĭonclusion being… Sonic 4 Episode II is a really fun game, and you will enjoy it if you aren’t anal about physics.Įpisode II has a lot to deal with. Almost everything is harder, but it’s fun, since you’re playing with another human. I’ve been playing this a lot with my friend MrFranklin, and it takes practice to do good runs in co-op mode. Having the speed locked allows you to run by your partner’s side in co-op mode with little issues. Only problem with rolling is that your speed is limited, I’m guessing that’s because of the co-op mode, cause if you were in co-op and had unlocked speed, someone would be getting left behind. it’s fun! The combo moves are fun, flying is fun, most of the music is good, rolling is fun. Of course the other levels look good too, but I have a soft spot for winterish levels, so yeah…Īnyways, the gameplay… um. I love the graphics, they are so pretty… Especially the snow levels! I love to play the snow levels and just look at the background. I am happy to say that I think Sonic 4 Episode II is a really good game! I think it’s more fun than Classic Sonic in Sonic Generations, personally… When I first heard of Episode II being announced, it didn’t surprise me… but at the same time, I wasn’t all that excited. And what did the good ol’ SEGAbits staff think of the long-in-development Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II and the reception it has received so far? Read on to find out, and don’t forget to comment and leave your own thoughts on the game below! But after what felt like an eternity, the adventure can finally be continued.
