It's Faithful, Nostalgic, though a bit short. Sonic 4 is superb, and was well worth the 1200 microsoft points.
PROS: Spectacular Levels that will just throw you back from the older games. Super-Nostalgic. Faithful to the older games. Music is blast listening to.
CONS: It's Short.
I download it, then play it, i get not only the Sega Logo, but i get the "SEGA!!" chorus. Then i get the Sonic Team logo, and then... Welcome back, my man!
The game is faithful from the 4 original Genesis games 1,2,3, and Knuckles. Of course, you can't really top Those classics, exception: Sonic Adventure.
The graphics are quite good, and the music, is a blast to listen to. It just shows you that Sonic is still around, and is coming back, with a vengence.
One huge downside, that it's short, really short. Around 3 hours. But look at the title "Sonic the Hedgehog 4: EPISODE 1" All right a series! Can't wait for Episode 2, when ever that'll come out.
It's Nostalgic all the way, from the title screen to the end of the game. How Gamespot gave this 6.5 i 'll have no idea. Has Gamespot turn into the Sonic Police. Did they get blown up by a Sonic Boom by Sonic, and are pissed at Sonic for nearly killing them. Whats wrong with you, Gamespot!? I mean the game is Faithful, Nostalgic, even though it's short. Sonic 4 is superb, and was well worth the 1200 microsoft points.
