You still lose momentum when you stop holding a direction, running is still better than rolling around, you’ll still get the same height off a spring on the first jump as you do on your fifth consecutive one, and there’s a really weird physics glitch underwater where hitting anything will make you bounce much higher as if you hit the top of it. They’re not completely broken, and the game is playable, but again it doesn’t play like the Mega Drive games. What matters isn’t what it’s called, but rather what it’s like, and after the generally unpopular Episode I, it’s safe to say not a lot has changed. Which is unsurprising, as it’s made by Dimps, the same people who made the Sonic Advance series, and had this been called Sonic Advance 4, it might’ve attracted a lot less detractors for it.īut let’s not get too into slagging it off just for its name.
Yes, there are moments where, if you’re watching someone else play, it looks a bit like one, but it isn’t. It does not play like any of the previous Sonic the Hedgehog games. The other thing wrong with this is the fundamental one. There is zero connection between Episode I and Episode II, the Chaos Emeralds you collect in I has no bearing in II, the 99 plus lives you grinded in Casino Street Act 2 don’t carry over, you can’t even play directly from the last act of Episode I into the start of Episode II, having instead to quit the game, and boot up the other one. Firstly, it’s quite clearly not episodic. Now we have its direct continuation, Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode IIĪlmost immediately, there are two things wrong with that title. Hence we got the episodic Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I. Then Sega, realising that they have fans who would love some nostalgia, decided to make a direct sequel.
It’s by a wide margin considered the best Sonic game ever made, with near faultless playability, music, graphics (both for its day, and even now they stand the test of time), storytelling and execution.
