    It’s going to need to become more than a sum of its parts if it wants to compete in this modern gaming era though.

    Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II is a solid though unremarkable continuation of the long-running formula.

    Apart from a couple of nuances it's a collage of elements as old as Sega itself. [August 2012, p.82]

    "Just another Sonic game" is the best description of Episode 2. A colorful, but flavorless platformer.

    Play never feels fluid, a problem compounded by the horrible, poorly ported PC controls. [Sept 2012, p.61]

    This game is great and improves greatly on Episode 1. Better graphics, better physics, and multiplayer which can be very addicting. Only realThis game is great and improves greatly on Episode 1. Better graphics, better physics, and multiplayer which can be very addicting. Only real flaw in this game is the pointless collecting of red rings. At least in Sonic Generations we were awarded something like abilities or music. In this its just for an achievement. But this doesn't affect my over all view of the game since it isn't that big of a deal. The multiplayer as I said is really fun. The addition of the partner system makes going through the levels with a friend a different experience than playing solo. Granted this only proves true if you play with someone who knows how to play, but I am not gonna put the game down because of a bad teammate. In my opinion this is a game any sonic fan should buy.… Expand

But besides the jump physics andIt's certainly an improvement over the atrocious Episode 1, that's for sure. It's actually playable. But besides the jump physics and uncurling, as well as new graphics and a pretty cool tails coop gimmick, nothing has changed. Music still sucks, the level design is average, and overall it's just an average platformer. That's not to say I didn't have fun, though.… Expand

    I really, really despise this game. It takes Sonic 4 episode 1, a okay game, and completely ruins it. Most levels are completely automatedI really, really despise this game. It takes Sonic 4 episode 1, a okay game, and completely ruins it. Most levels are completely automated with boost pads and springs, the music is god awful, and the overall level design just sucks. Apart from Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic and the Secret Rings, this is the only Sonic title I have never went out of my way to complete. Episode 1 is 100x better than this game.… Expand
