Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - Episode I

I paid $2.49 for this and still feel like I got ripped off. If you want the Sonic 4 experience just play episode 2. This game has bad physics, bad graphics, and bad special stages.

I don't have anything new to add. Even if you've never played a Sonic game before, I think you'd still hate this. The controls are awful, the graphics are ugly, and the soundtrack sounds like a trashy genesis midi someone downloaded off of the internet. Play literally anything else lol

Even though this is one of the weaker entries in the mainline series, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I is pretty much just another 2D Sonic game. Even if the physics were coded properly, it still suffers from the limited screen space problem that 2D Sonic games usually do. The level design was uninspired, the bosses were recycled just to give them an extra phase, and the overall density of content left much to be desired. The Hedgehogetry Stages were the best part of the package, but even that suffered from unpolished physics, keeping it from shining as much as it could have. I get that the whole point of the game was to essentially be a long-awaited sequel that returned the franchise to its roots, but isn't a few lazy remakes of a levels from Sonic 1 and 2 with new names kind of a stretch? Even as someone who fell out of the series after being such a massive fan of it for many years, I can see why this fell from grace shortly after a much better game came out in between episodes. Consider this one of the very few instances where the fans and I actually had a similar experience regarding the test of time for a game... minus the "forgetting about the initial positive reception" part.

Bought this expecting a very basic and unimpressive platformer that might potentially just be excessively hated (I really wanted to play this as a kid on Wiiware), yet this ended up probably one of the worst games I've ever played LMAO. That'll teach me for being a contrarian dunce. The title screen looks ridiculously cheap (now i'm not one to bother whining about a title screen, but c'mon, this one is bordeline wimpy), the controls are sluggish, the levels are uncreative (seriously, the gimmick of the casino level is cards (that gave me like 30 lives in one level without trying hahaha) and.. colored ice cubes?? idk man), the game is hilariously short, the physics are screwed up, Eggman moves like he has a stick up his bum. The game doesn't even close itself properly on Steam! In addition, you'd think Sega didn't know how a ball functions in real life with how terrible the special stage physics are. The most infamous levels are readapted (labyrinth zone, metropolis), there's a dark section, a minecart section, a DARK MINECART section, oulala! Yeah, we're going there! And believe it or not, we're also going down Dimp's famously abundant bottomless pits™, just like good old Advance 2!! Apparently, Jun Senoue made the music, and he is known for being a pretty great sound producer-- but here, I don't know if he had a vendetta against SEGA (was his paycheck a sandwich or something?) because it all sounds just so terrible, it's not even close to the other games, only rivaled by maybe Sonic Chronicles. I'm certain I composed atleast one better song in my life than everything in this OST and it ain't my job. Listen, I get it, it's fun to experience all kind of games and make your opinion, but don't buy this. Not on a sale, not for the joke, not even for Eggman with a stick up his bum. I'm sure you can do that part yourself for much cheaper, too.

pior coisa que ja joguei na minha vida

They lobotomized Sonic and shaved his fur off to replace it with shiny blue paint. They made spin dashing and rolling into a ball somehow worse. The music, on paper, is good, but the soundfont did not cook.

es bueno
