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
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode I is a 2D side-scrolling platformer that continues the classic Sonic series. Dr. Eggman has returned with a new plan to take over the world, and Sonic must stop him by traversing through familiar locations like Splash Hill Zone and Casino Street Zone. This game brings back the classic fast-paced gameplay with new abilities such as the Homing Attack, and maintains the series' original style with its graphics and sound.
