Played for over 30 hours and broke my keyboard in the process. Highly recommend.

when you get 7 emarlds it's cool

WAY better than Episode I. If you like the 2D Sonic games, I can safely recommend this. This is far from amazing like the Genesis games and Mania are, but it's not trying to be like those games, it has unique concepts enough to give it its own identity, if this game didn't have Sonic 4 in the name I believe the fanbase would have praised the hell out of this game. Also the special stages are REALLY good, one of my favs in the series.

7/10, skip Ep 1 and just play this if you want the Sonic 4 experience.
