Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Ep. 1 - review

A portion of a C3 review…

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 is a good enough start to what will hopefully be a more refined and usable experience. It is better than some of the more recent games, and although has addressed some issues with the move back into 2D, still suffers from awkward and unpredictable controls. Aside from the gameplay issues, Episode 1 is worth considering - however perhaps try out a demo version (on other formats) or a friend’s copy before buying.
