Slow-mo the Hedgehog

It's about time we get a Sonic the Hedgehog 4.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 was a game that Sonic fans waited a long time for and being a Sonic fan myself, I was pretty excited for this game. Sonic 4 is the first game in the original series since 1994's S… Read more

A disgrace to the franchise

Sorry, but this is true. There are several flaws to this title that make it undeserving of its "4" in the the title. For one, the camera is too close to Sonic. Isn't this the same problem that plagued… Read more

I really wanted to like this game

It is difficult to look at a new Sonic game and ignore all the terrible 3D efforts they made previously. Although if you choose to ignore all these 3D games it does not look too bad. All of the 2D GBA… Read more

Sonic 4 Worth Buying!

Sonic 4 Artwork If you say to someone have you ever played original Sonic the Hedgehog games, 90% of people are most likely to say they have. If you tell people that the next Sonic the Hedgehog game i… Read more

As refreshing as a dive into a pit of spikes.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1. Just saying the full name of the game has a weird feeling to it. Sonic games have been getting churned out yearly, with quality ranging from mediocre to abysmal. Dimps… Read more

Sonic's deforestation project

As the 26th Sonic game released, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 aims to numerically confuse the world. It also aims to address just about any and every complaint levied at the series since the existence of poly… Read more

The super sonicest game in the earth.

This sonic the hedgehog 4 is the best game of the franchise. Better than sonic 1, 2 and 3 put together. In this game you blast through with sonic speed through 4 levels of insane half pipes loops and… Read more

A Fan's Perspective.

It’s easy to get caught up in the zeitgeist surrounding Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 . For close to a decade now, there has been a dedicated segment of the gaming community who has pounded their fi… Read more

Sonic's back! I wish i could say it was with a Vengeance...

Robotnik (I’m going to call him that until the day i die) is back stealing animals and Sonic is back to stop him. There’s no plot, there’s no voice work, there are no annoying sidekicks, this is pure… Read more

Press Y to be mediocre!

It us no big secret that the Sonic franchise has fallen from the graces of the gaming community and has become some sort of blue, fast running joke. What use to be universal acclaim and applause has b… Read more

...But damn it if they didn't try.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 is an unusual and misshapen fever-dream. As the title screen will proudly inform you, it is the fourth Sonic the Hedgehog game, placing it chronologically after the sup… Read more

Best Sonic Game Since Sonic & Knuckles. Overpriced Though

YES!!! Finally a proper new Sonic game that’s actually, genuinely brilliant. It doesn’t start off very well, to start with it feels dodgy. Its difficult to explain but it just doesn’t feel “right” som… Read more

A Shaky Return To Form For The Hedgehog...

It has been tough times for Sonic The Hedgehog as he can never catch a break being in a good game these days. In the past decade, Sega and Sonic Team have struggled to make Sonic feel relevant by putt… Read more

Sonic 4 isn't terrible, but it's not amazing either.

A familiar sight, indeed. Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 (Yes, the fourth Sonic The Hedgehog game, at last. There have been no others. Ever.) comes at a strange and somewhat appropriate time in games… Read more

This is the real Sonic

Forget anything that has come out since the mid 90's. Except for maybe a couple competent GB titles and a DS one or two I never played, Sonic had strayed from his core 2D gameplay to confusing badly c… Read more
