  • Its good graphics but the game play is too..."straight forward". It's not as hard as the last 3 of the series.

  • @Mabudokai Games nowadays are getting simpler... =(

  • roflmao its basiclly the 1992 version of all levels with a superior graphic update

  • ? I think its good. at this point judgement on sonic games are soley on the individual rather then as a group.

    example:i like this game

    the person below me hates it

  • The graphics in this game are just... frikkin ugly. I hate it how they make the .. pixelated sonic 2D game, into a 3D-ish 2D game :U If you get what I mean.. xD

  • @BlakePlacebo If this game was 16-bit, Sega would be getting a lot of complaints for using outdated graphics. Might as well just release this for the Genesis, which would be fuckin' stupid on many levels.

  • absolutely necessary. welcome back

  • They should've made this game 16-bit but its ok it only needs to classic physics to be perfect and maybe add tails and metal sonic in ep2

  • now that looks like a proper sonic game. not this 3D sonic with the excessive amounts of characters and shit.

  • @QuestionableVids Actually i like more characters(if playable).adds variety.

  • 1991

    1992

    1993

    1994

    2011

    WTF o_O

  • Comment removed

  • OMG...Are we in 1995?

  • Sonic generatios is more nice than this

  • I think this game doesn't deserve all the hate. The ''fans'' complain about the physics being different, music being bad and the game being too easy. But really, they are just looking for an excuse to hate the game. Just because the game plays differently doesn't mean it's bad, and even the Classic ones were easy. For me, Sonic's fully back on track. This, Colours and Generations were great fun. It's something most fans seem to forget about: that the games actually ARE fun. Keep it up, SEGA!

  • @LittleMichaelz but it wasnt ANYTHING like the classics witch it was supposed to BE. just because it's 2D sega thinks fans will go and love it.

  • @IainStudios Well, that's what everyone said in the first place? ''3D Sonic-games suck, should've stayed 2D, bla bla.'' So SEGA made a side-scroller that was plenty of fun, and, in my opinion, did capture the spirit of the old classics a bit, but yet everyone hates it because it's not truthful enough to the original classics. They just can't be satisfied. Not a single sign of appreciation for SEGA from all the fans for at least trying to please them. All they do is whine like little babies. >.>

  • @LittleMichaelz but this is supposed to be like the genesis days. its not ANYTHING like it. the genesis era did not have homing attacks or odd glitches or all these springs to help you and give little player interactive things. it's like sonic advance 2 or sonic rush. you cant call it like the "genesis days" JUST because its 2D. the fans wanted an old-school platformer with NO HOMING ATTACK, so at least they can somplain for a GOOD REASON

  • @IainStudios Why do you feel the need to complain about everything that isn't the same as it was back in the day? It just shows fans can't be pleased. You say, because the game has its flaws, it's a terrible game. If you're a purist like that, just play the originals instead. If you look at Sonic 4 as a game that stands on its own, it may be better than you think. If it wasn't for the Homing Attack, fans would complain about the graphics not being identical. Don't deny it, you know they would.

  • @LittleMichaelz you dont get it. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE BACK IN THE DAY.

  • @IainStudios Why capitalise? As if I am blind or anything. Anyway, how can you be so sure it was supposed to be 100% identical to the Mega Drive-games? If it was, then SEGA would not have added the Homing Attack. Simple as that? They goal wasn't to make it identical. The goal was to give the fans this type of gameplay again. And I honestly don't think the Homing Attack made the gameplay different. My problem is that this game is called ''bad''. Sonic 06 is bad, not 4. See the difference?

  • @LittleMichaelz this game IS bad. its not sonic 06 bad but its not good

  • @IainStudios Well, in your opinion it's bad, but that doesn't mean others have to agree on that?

  • @LittleMichaelz why would people make excuses to hate a game? If that's the case how come there aren't hoards of people pointing out things in Sonic Generations/Colours that they don't like and saying that ruins the game?

  • its funny how innovation in todays standards means going back to the old games

  • @BullpwhoTV you say that like it's a bad thing

  • @lava172 its not that bad considering how much I love old school games but I personally like to see games move forward instead of backwards.

  • this game sucks balls and cannot be compared to the old sonic

  • i got all the chaos emeralds for this game and i must say super sonic is not fast as the super sonic in the classic sonic games series but he still can jump higher than normal but i must say why the hell sega have cut the game into episodes?

    is episode 2 is going to be a DLC or a complete new game like sonic generation?

    i spend $17 to this game already via psn.

  • @fareedbakhit I always wondered why they had to do that episode shit too. They made it only a downloadable game which pissed me off. But the Generation game looks really good, and it's on disk too.

  • @BasicallytoBasics yeah it's really dump that this game is only a soft game i still didn't like the price for it $17 for a very short sonic game maybe it's so short due to the cut in half so you play episode 1 for now and the rest in episode 2 back than they actually cut sonic 3 into two games sonic 3 and sonic & knuckles due to the limmitition of the genesis cartridge that's why sonic and knuckles became so short and now we got this but this time they cut it in half to get more money.

  • wow...good

  • good things take time...great things happen all at once

  • woow 112 vidas

  • I'll buy this if it gets released on a physical media, as a complete game.

    F*ck this chapter bullshit.

  • @godverdegodverdomme Your Not Missing Much. I Wouldn't Bother Unless Your A Retro Fan Who Wants Some Decent Nostalgia...

  • @ImmaNumber18 Well I do enjoy a good retro gaming experience, so it might actually be worth it for me.

    But I still choose to wait for a full physical release. Should that not happen, I will not buy it at all.

  • @godverdegodverdomme No One Blames You.

  • @ImmaNumber18 but it's not "decent nostalgia", sadly. The changes to the graphics ruined it for me and made it not enjoyable at all. I'd rather pop in my "Greatest Hits" game and sit back and play the real thing.

  • @airlobster I Understand To An Extent. I Still 'LIKE' The Game. And Super Sonic Is A DEFINATE Factor There...

  • @godverdegodverdomme then you're going to have to wait for a looong time. although I've heard rumours that sega is starting to work on the second episode after generations

  • @tarkeke I have plenty of patience, as long as they do it. And if they don't, well that'll be a financial loss

    on their side. Same goes for Telltale's Sam & Max series; they did chapters instead of physical release

    as one complete game. Now I still own the chapters, but they don't own my compensation for it.

  • It sucks they no longer make their own consoles.

  • Sonic 4 was fun yes its true physics are a bit weird but not even sonic 1 had perfect physics believe me i know, just go to my channel and watch my video of sonic 1 and 2 physic problems ;)

    Fan boys and classic bitches watch out because your paradise's gravity is not perfect XD

  • Eu começei com master system e depois q eu tive o mega drive eu so tinha sonic 2 e rambo 3 e entao me roubaram a fita do rambo e agora pra mim sonic 2 e o melhor

  • idk why people say sonic 4 was bad....it was great tbh felt like playing real sonic again plus it was alot harder then the old sega ones wer

  • Did they release this game? I really want to play it aahhh.

  • @TheOtherHolly It was released the last year @.@

  • @TheOtherHolly Just Download it (no pc version...at least for those who don'y know about Wii emulator XD)

  • this game costs 1,500 wii points.... yet it's shorter than snes (800) and n64 (1000) games.

  • @Bunni18337 shut up, with these retarded comments.

  • It's funny how they didn't show any parts where Sonic is moving at 2 MPH, so they skipped 75% of the game.

  • @psychoTR2 Sonic 1 and 2 had physic problems :D

  • @Nedlemousegeneration I know, but at least Sonic didn't need speed pads to go fast in 1 and 2. :D

  • @psychoTR2 well you're kinda wrong XD play sonic 2 chemical plant zone you will find them XD

  • @psychoTR2 Indeed, all he needed were levels designed for speed! Oh wait..

  • @Nedlemousegeneration It was bugged to hell, yup.

  • ah! TO MANY BLOCKS!

  • nothing happens when u pass a star post now :(

  • Sonic Generation is way better than Sonic 4, this game is a 100 years too early to compete with Sonic Generation.

  • I had real high hopes for this game, sonic generations should be great though

  • wow i am so getting this on wiiware

  • thumbs up if you miss the old classic

    instead of the new ones

  • @SonicTehEchidna I honestly don't give a damn if Sonic is 2-D, 3-D or that Isometric thing. I only care if its fun to play and sticks with what makes Sonic great. Good, fast platforming.

  • we just need a game were he can do all the shit he does in SSBB

  • Fucking shite game. Hurry up and release generations!

  • @AlexFruen You know it's people like you who constantly rush SEGA that make games like Sonic 2006 so bad. Have some damn patience.

  • Hey. i'll have you know that my dad is the head of SEGA so shut up, he'll do as i tell him.

  • @AlexFruen I find that a bit hard to beilive.

  • @AlexFruen Tell him to make Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode II

  • @AlexFruen I have patience to wait for games, Unlike your shitty patience.

  • @gunman30001 I dont think it sucks. I haven't really played it though (Dont have PS3/360) so i guess i cant tell. What was so bad about it?

  • @Ozzzie968 Sonic 2006 wasn't all that bad when you got the hang of it, but there were glitches in the game as well, however only a bit more than the Adventure series. 2006 is actually my 3rd favorite Sonic game, behind Shadow and Heroes, but it only got to be half it's potential because it was rushed.

  • @gunman30001 Now I gots to finds his comment :(

  • @gunman30001 Ikr.Now since alot of people rushed SEGA Sonic 4 has crappy psychics..

  • It's funny because the trailer looks faster than the real game, which lead me to a disappointing cry. And the homing attack too, DAMN YOU SEGA!!!

  • this sonic lost the essence!

  • Mario goes 3D = Orgasm!

    Sonic goes 3D = Vomit!!!

  • SEGA: hello and welcome to SEGGGAAA company ! what would you like?.

    me: firstly WHY THE HELL YOU FAIL ON DOING 3D SONIC GAMES!?

    SEGA: what? hey!

    me: i mean why does sonic fart when he runs and why when he runs under his body there is a circle were are his legs going around and its blurry! >:(?!

    SEGA: um the "farting" is dust from when he runs and its not a circle its his les going fast in circles and blurry makes it relistic DUH!

    me: ROFL realistic, It's better like on sonic the hedgehog 2.

  • @snakedeadly how is Sonic 4 "3D" again?

  • @DarkkirbyKRPG well caracters are 3d

  • @snakedeadly but the gameplay is still 2D, let's just say that it's 2.5D kay?

  • Where Is Episode 2 ?

  • I hate the feeling of sonic 4. He doesnt seem to have any momentum. the second you stop pressing forward, he stops moving. How can they get it that wrong? Feels nothing like the original...if aint broke, dont fix it.

  • @Shadedude100 you could say that about star wars

  • look at 0:17, 112 Lifes WTF!!! oO

  • SONIC GENERATIONS WILL FIX EVERYTHING. TAKE MY WORD.

  • @neilss1 Are you joking? Because that looks about as fast as the original sonic game to me. Not to mention the original sonics had plenty of slower moments. Seems like another excuse to nostalgically bitch. Judging by your flagrant use of the term 'retard', I can't imagine you were even born when those original games came out.

  • @ZiMZiLLA Wha- he's right. Not about the speed stuff, but by the fact that it's waaaaay too easy. the only level I died on was the final boss.

  • @RayAndFlare Yeah but is that because you're older now than you were when you played it originally as a child?

  • Comment removed

  • I say get a Wii, two 2000-point cards for the shop, and get all the original Genesis Sonics on Virtual Console.

  • whats with the weird fart cloud things behind him constantly.. To much chilli dogs if you ask me.

  • @Mrsonicdude100 lol sonic gets scared if enimies and he farts to kill them with CHILLI DOGS!

  • @Mrsonicdude100 Where do you think the torque comes from during a spin dash he can start one when standing still so don't tell me its momentum. And the air dash things you can even see them when he does one.

  • @Mrsonicdude100 It's dust. Sonic can make dust by running so fast on this game.

  • @Mrsonicdude100 No, It's Not, If Sonic Goes At Fast Speed The Ground Would Emit Smoke,

  • The best part about the whole trailer.... The funny old SEEEGGGAAAAAA sound at the beginning.

  • @cosmic93

    My favourite part by far. Maybe they've realised where they were going wrong

  • Can you get this on PC?

  • @VicSpartan17 No, which is pretty weird because they have a version for every current console and even iPads.

  • @eateroftheflame That annoying haha I don't have any of those things

  • @VicSpartan17 use a sega genesis emulator to play the originals on PC, not this version.

  • i love this game but i hate it when you go around a hoop and the whole screen flips around, i wish they hadnt done that

  • looking forward to the fans hacking this one and fixing it :3

  • I huge jump from the sonic 3 to 4.

    It's almost unbelievable.

  • keep pressing for 4 for homing attack failure

  • The gameplay is different from the classics...

    In this new game doesn't exist the inertia law O.O

    I just stopped in the wall on the first zone....

    But the game still amazing XD

  • It wont be as good unless they use the old graphics from the original sonics. they have a classic feel to it.

  • I got here by watching Mega64. I was sadly mistaken

  • Is this real? This is by far the best looking sonic series game Ive seen sense Sonic 3 & Knuckles

  • @zalxder

    I'm amazed that somebody out there is still asking that question.

    This game has been out for quite some time now.

  • @Zerobadniks i dont watch tv so i find out about things when ever... really i shoulda just looked it up but after i posted i looked it up... they have it on the PSP but not the DSi... frustrating...

  • hey, the over load of new characters on sonic was what killed it eventually. if we want the games to stop sucking, then sega will have to revert back to what made the people love it all in the first place- a little simplicity.

  • i think that the only reason this was made was to make us forget about the fan remake of sonic 1 using a freeware 3d game engine and how sega shut down the project because they were not getting money outta it

  • Oh SEGA, you sneak you. Hoping to cash in on the nostalgia factor are we? Because that's not been done with every other classic gaming franchise...

    Can't say I'm looking forward to playing this when I get around to buying it. I think riding on the back of nostalgia to reboot a downhill series isn't really fan-service. Every person who played the "old school" Sonic games knows that it's just a desperate attempt to make sure Sonic hits the ground running this time around.

  • its already comed YOU CAN PLAYZ IT NAO! W00 W00 W00 W00 W00 W00!

  • i hate the SFX in this game... and sonic is slow! -,-"

  • THIS IS HOW SONIC SHOULD PE PLAYED

  • episode 2 has tails and knuckles confirmed

  • Those graphics look the same as Sonic Heroes. -_- Pity.

  • @Blazethecat1996 I know right? Sonic was always about graphics.Hell,every game is about graphics.Jesus,LOOK AT DOS GRAFIX!!!!!! ZOMG HORIBUL,NOT PLAYING DIS GAEM.

  • @SuperAwesomeTiago Do you even know what a graphic is? Sonic is 80% about graphics. 16-BIT! The backgrounds, the themes, the enemies, the bosses. How they look is made up of graphics. The whole theme of the game is made up of graphics (and music).

    I'm sick of retards thinking Graphics = Photorealism.

    Oh and this game, Sonic 4, is fucking ugly. Some of the worst music I've ever heard in a video game. Physics work like Sonic rush.

    How comes Capcom can remake a classic yet the Sonic Team can't?

  • @DoomThroughDoom Yes,Sonic is made of graphics,but they're not everything.Gameplay is more important than graphics.

  • @SuperAwesomeTiago Gameplay is just as important as how the game looks.

    Good graphics = Consistent graphics.

  • @DoomThroughDoom Are you fucking dumb? Are the special effects going to make a game spectacular? No.It's abut GAMEPLAY.

  • @SuperAwesomeTiago When did I say special effects? I said graphics and constancy.

  • this is not classic T.T

  • when the fuck are they goin to make sonic adventure 3 if ever i mean we have wait more than a 10 years for this so where the hell is it

  • ohhhh goddd, yess he's cummming, ccccummminnnggg!!!argh! god yesssss, he cammeeeee!!! welcome back, sonic!

  • 12/12/12

    DREAMCAST 2

    It's Coming...

    See channel

  • too slow compared to the old school versions I'm sick of games companies making games easier and more accessible to retards with no skill just to make a few extra bucks

  • @neilss1 i agree

  • @neilss1 so true, it feels so clunky. and wtf is with the way he turns?

  • @neilss1

    Tell me about it. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a classic example...

  • @neilss1 True i have a ds game that is a sonic collection "sonic all the way through knuckles in sonic 2.....and i love the speed, but i cant really free run without an obstacle being in my way every 5 seconds...

  • @neilss1

    Have you even played Sonic 1?

    That game was HORRIBLY slow compared to newer 3D Sonics...

  • @Saryakan Well yea and I can tell you it was far linier than the new sonics and yes it wasnt fast, BUT you forget sonic 1 was not a sega release package, they gave AWAY sonic two with the sega games system this is what made sonic so popular and started his franchis and also if you notice this is where they added his playable super form and the ground spinning move this is why we remeber these features within sonic because the game most people played first was the fatser sonic 2 :) and tails lol

  • @neilss1 ...You're the only retard here dude... with all the shit you give SEGA! This game was for you! You made this! Just like you made 06! I swear you Classic fanboys need to leave or get over yourselves because you are just holding SEGA back. You ingrat! Tell your 12 groupies to fuck off! geez..

  • @silverjay323 13. I gave him a thumbs up too. Now I want you to kill yourself.

  • @BacktoBasics88 ...Okay then weirdo.

  • Comment removed

  • @neilss1 I agree. I remember back in the day, watching sonic go past the frame of the T.V.

  • @neilss1 It's funny because you think you're right.

  • @SpartanUnDead The fact of the matter is old school fans like me (now 22) made this franchise its money back then .Since they changed sonics gameplay there has been a more than gradual decline in his games profitability hence these remakes of the classic 2D level format. Knowledge the fuck up before trying to be a smartass, i dont think im right I am right look it up if you dont believe me.

  • @neilss1 Well, as a Sega Genesis I, II, and III owner (or Mega Drive, if you prefer), the Sonic 2 become my favorite game ever. And, looking at Sonic 4, I can't say it's "slower" than the Genesis Sonic. It's almost in the same range.

  • @SpartanUnDead man i remember when i first got the genesis i use to glitch in the 2nd act stage 1... you could end up going too fast and you end up freezing the game. sonic 2 was legendary in my book. i never got around to beating it as a kid although i did get pretty fuckin far.

  • @SpartanUnDead Well you should notice then, if its an issue with frame rates sega should of addressed this my point is mainly if your gona try and get old school fans to re invest then make it more nostalgic than discovering the old games are better

  • @neilss1 Well, you should take in count the widescreen rate of the new games, can cheat the eyes.

  • @SpartanUnDead We shoulda been on the design team for this game, seriously !!

  • @neilss1 I'd like, but I think I'm not enough for the rank :]

  • @neilss1 lol wow you're right. it does look slower. flashy though.

  • @neilss1

    1. Who cares? Sonic isn't about speed, he's about attitude. If you look

    at the commercial for Sonic 1, it barely touches on his speed..

    2. That word is offensive.

    3. Sonic 4 is a GREAT game.

  • @awesomepo22

    1. yes he is the original games creatoprs made him i quote "fast with attitude to appeal to the younger generation" and he is known as the worlds fastest hedgehog what you said there was stupid.

    2. it is offensive but thats how I talk unfortunatley for you

    3. its not the orignal (risk of sounding like an old guy) is better, if sonic generations is fast paced ya know like the 3d ones where he is blitzing through zone?? Then I will buy it

  • @awesomepo22 Get over yourself, you politically correct jackass. The fact is, Neilss had a point - the original games were ALL about speed. And your only argument against him was that it "is a great game."

  • Comment removed

  • @neilss1 Was the game too easy for you when you played it? It was plenty hard for me. And yes, I played the old ones.

  • @neilss1 Too slow? What da heck...?

  • @neilss1

    haha... agree

  • sonic 3 had the best bonus stages for emeralds

  • @go2viraj u gotta be a pro to have lots of lives like that.

  • see this video made it look like it has speed! What a lie.

  • this game blows, if you are a hardcore fan or not. Graphics are cool, the in game mechanics and physics are just disappointing. I hate the idea of locking on to targets. He's a hedgehog, not a robot!

  • Thumbs up if u want Sega to make remakes of Sonic 1, 2, and 3 with a style alot like this game.

  • @JelloOnWeb No...fuck no.The classics do not need reamkes,specially if they were superior to this game.

  • this game sucked shit. SO dissapointing after great games like Sonic and Knuckles

  • OH MYS GOD! FINALLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY! he coming! GOD! HE COMING SOON! °O°

  • 0:32 This is Sonic!

  • I reminded me of how much I loved this game in childhood :')

  • looks like the old one fukin i could play the orgnal online

  • Sonic 4 episode 1-sonic 1

    Sonic 4 episode 2-Sonic CD perhaps...

  • Episode 1? So uh, is this a remake of Sonic 1?... hmmm, oh well, atleast they didn't call it Sonic Reboot O_O

  • Right then. *Reloades shotgun* Who was it that said this game sucked?
