Oct 26, 2010Even though Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 is a short ride, it's a fun one.
-
Oct 21, 2010Whether or not this means the triumphant return of Sonic, this game is worth your time if you can appreciate classic gameplay without the classic frustration it usually brings.
-
Oct 25, 2010The best Sonic game to come out in the past 16 years.
-
Oct 21, 2010Most importantly, it nails the fun of hitting springboards, bouncing off enemies, and defying gravity with pure speed. While hardly perfect, it's solid enough that even reviving the old "Se-ga!" before the title screen feels appropriate. After a decade of missteps, Sonic has earned it.

Oct 21, 2010Quotation forthcoming.
-
Oct 21, 2010Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 is a fairly good Sonic game that brings the franchise back to school, but several shortcomings prevent it from reaching greatness.
-
Oct 21, 2010Platformers shouldn't have half-arsed interpretations of physics. They shouldn't have a continue system which is for all intents and purposes simply an inconvenience generator. And they shouldn't have half-thought out continue systems, designed solely to annoy.
