Sonic the hedgehog 4 Part 2 review

To bad, I hoped they learnt from their faults in Episode 1

ArchoNils2

according to the ign opinion they did fix what was wrong with 1 physics and said the game works great. However the review sounded kinda retarted since they said even though its fixed you just feel like your playing sonic and thats wasint enough for them. THey said some magic was missing that was never explained in the review. Dam thing just made bang my head against the wall.

Good thing reviewer's opinions don't mean sh!t, pretty much guaranteed to sell well like episode 1.

Personally I think it's the best sonic game since 2 on the genesis.

Only bad thing is that for some dipsh!tted reason they didn't use the generations engine, so it literally just upscales 720p on pc, jaggies and all.

you have to be kidding me. elemental forcefields >>> homing attack.

The carnival zone is an obligatory -20 to sonic 3's score.

If you liked the Adventure games, then there's no reason to give Generations the shaft when it's far superior in gameplay, level layout and design, camera angles, and music.

Oh the Sonic haters never cease to make me laugh. The idiocy is truly astounding.

But anyway, I'm kinda glad this game is actually getting the reviews it deserves unlike Episode 1. Maybe next time Sega will actually put some effort in to the next 2D Sonic. So many critics were fooled by the "2D Sonic must be good. 3D Sonic bad." mentality when reviewing Episode 1. It astounds me that Ep1 actually had a smiliar metascore to the fantastic Sonic Colours. In fact the Wii version has a higher metacore! It was mediocre at best, but now it seems the critics are actually opening their eyes and seeing Sonic 4 for what it is. Kinda like how when the Sonic Adventure games first came out the critics were blinded by "ZOMG Sonic in 3D!" when the games were actually mediocre at best, but when they were re-released on Gamecube critics actually opened their eyes.

Oh, and as usual I'm agreeing with Renegade Fury in a Sonic discussion. Generations is waaaaaaaaay better than both SA games. Oh nostalgia, how you do blind so many people. Sigh.

I despised all the 3d chase parts of the levels. So to me 1/3 of the game is trash.

A lot of the 2d levels modeled after old 3d levels weren't that great either.

[QUOTE="mitu123"] I enjoyed Generations far more than this.

Didn't read any reviews for it, but the only problem I had with it was the engine's inability to render natively at 1080p and use anti-aliasing.

[QUOTE="Renegade_Fury"]

[QUOTE="princemarth23"]

Even the "good" Sonic games these days are meh. I thought Generations was a passable platformer at best. It's really such a shame, considering how much I love the old Sonic games and even liked Adventure 1 and 2 quite a bit.

i've hated every single 3d sonic game apart from generations.

Generations honestly nailed it when it came to being a sonic game.

[QUOTE="mitu123"] But it had less problems than Sonic 4 Episode II!

Only issue I had was one underwater section with those robots that make impassable frozen barriers.

I don't even know how I beat some of the 3d chase stages/bosses in generations.

I didn't say it was hard, just that I had no f'ing clue what I did to beat them.

The last boss especially sticks out. Beat him first try, took something like 15 minutes.

No idea how I did it.

I was expecting a 5.0 to be honest. I havent heard many good things about this one. Shame.

I also died more in Sonic 4 Episode 2 than Generations as well.

Renegade_Fury

Well it's an anniversary game so of course the music is just remixes, and the stages even if they are based off old ones, are designed and play completely differently. If you think the only thing the Adventure games have wrong is the camera angles, you are blinded with nostalgia. It's slow, clunky, and broken with characters falling off the screen to their deaths. Then on top of it, there are needless fetch quest and shooting levels which have nothing to do with Sonic. Generations is fast and seamless, which is a far cry from the relic that the Adventure games are.

[QUOTE="AsadMahdi59"]

meh, wasn't really expecting much

as for generations vs adventure, I'm with shockwave. I prefer the sonic/shadow levels from SA2B to the 3d levels of generation and even the 2d ones, and it's not nostalgia because the sonic/shadow levels hold up well to this day. plus it has the chao garden. however the shooting and treasure hunting is pretty weak

Now SA1 seems pretty terrible based on the xbl demo.

Renegade_Fury

Then you're crazy as him. I just played Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 literally after I just posted that along with some other Genesis and Dreamcast games. They're both utter jittery **** The slightest touch on the analog and you die. All the love for those games lie in the atmosphere and nostalgia because the gameplay is unbelievably crappy.

well i also went back and replayed some SA2 after i made my post. and saying it holds up well to this day was something of an overstatement but i still don't think generations is better, and i would like to see them go the adventure route again, just fine tune the controls and camera.

I can't for the life of me understand why anybody would want the overworlds and clunky non-Sonic gameplay modes again.

I thought this Sonic 4 episode looked better than the first (just because it looked a tiny bit fresher) but not much. These episodes still strike me as generic and perfunctory. Unlike Colors (and Generations from what I can tell), it doesn't seem like any real passion has gone into these projects.

How about they just finish Sonic 4 and put it on a nice retail box. Might actually sell more.Shockwave-DASH
