Sonic The Hedgehog 4™ Episode I 9+

This is just a knock off of the classics like splash hill zone it’s just a copy of green hill zone and emerald hill zone and mushroom hill zone even the bosses are just stolen form sonic 1 and sonic 2 lost larbrith is just a copy of labyrinth from sonic 1 metallic madness is just the meter zone from sonic 2 lets go see. If episode 2 is any better but it’s still a copy of sonic 2 and sonic cd but with better actions the first cutscene is just a copy of the sonic 3 cutscene and the first zone is just a copy of atuic ruins zone from sonic 2 but the bosses a different but the metal sonic boss fight is a copy of the metal sonic boss fight from sonic cd but you chase and attack metal and I think the reason why there is not a episode 3 it’s because it will be just a copy of the classics soo whatever you do DONT buy episode 1 they just want money play episode 2 instead
OK DONT BUY THIS EPISODE unless they make it free and the
Sonic 4 episode 1 special stage is terrible 😣 you have to rotate the screen on ipad for no reason the sonic 1 classic special stage was way better

Don’t let the title fool you, despite how well done Sonic 1, 2, CD, 3&K were, this one only dreams to be as good as they were. First of all, the mobile version, is probably the worst version. While they did update Sonic’s model in this version, the controls and UI are horrible compared to the console variants. You can see the outline on the text saying “Please tap the screen.” This just shows how hastily slapped together this was. The game itself, yeah it’s not good. The graphics are awful, it’s not that they are using Modern Sonic, it’s the fact it all looks so glossy and had no effort put into it. Level design is ridiculously questionable. Compared to past classic sonic games, this one makes no sense! Levels go on for way too long. Also they go on for 3 acts. The themes are completely stolen and unoriginal. Splash Hill is just Green Hill from Sonic 1. Casino Street is just Casino Night from Sonic 2. Lost Labyrinth is just Labyrinth Zone from Sonic 1. And Mad Gear is just Metropolis Zone from Sonic 2! Nothing is original! Neither the bosses! They are just stolen from Sonic 1 and 2! So if you are thinking about buying this game, don’t. Skip this one, and go play Sonic Mania instead

I liked the edition of some different principles for gameplay, such as the mine cart, while still maintaining the quick response semi-linear running nature. However, the repeat boss at the end was a BIG bummer, and I got stuck on it for the longest time.

The graphics are not that great, as I think most of the 3D is pre-rendered and actually 2D. One bug in the Metropolis Zone clone where a lift showed skewed textures from the Labyrinth Zone clone seemed to enforce this.

Ep. 2 is a better game, but I think SEGA should’ve reduced some of the things they cut off, and made both Sonic 4s more of an echo of previous sonic games than a remake of them.
