I bought Sonic 4 EpI on the cheap the other day, been working through it just to try and fill the gap left by Generations.
My god this game is unfun. Sonic takes literally forever to gain any momentum and otherwise moves like he’s walking through treacle; his momentum just stops at anything i.e. a steep incline, jumping, a spring, taking your thumb off the thumbstick; the special stages are ridiculously difficult thanks to unfair time limits mixed with tricky obstacles (I can’t count how many times I’ve lost 10 seconds by getting stuck on a pinball bumper); and to top it off the final 3 bosses are difficult and require a level of precision the controls just don’t offer.
I’m looking forward to Episode II.
