Sonic rises once more like a phoenix from the ashes, returning to the 2D plane where he belongs. Sadly, a poor pricing strategy and some cheap level design make the fourth instalment a case of too little too late

You know the iconic blue hedgehog has come full circle when you hear the classic “say-ga!” as you boot up the game. I’ve been a longtime Sonic fan so imagine my dismay when I saw the venerable Sega mascot starring in fighting games and mini-game compilations while bringing in a huge array of uninteresting characters, ignoring all of the appealing aspects of the classic Sonic games.
