Review Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 (PlayStation 3)
Blue streak
The backlash against Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I must have hit SEGA hard. Here was a game everyone said they wanted — a high-definition return to Sonic's 2D roots, and while it was a decent game on its own merit it didn't feel like a true continuation of those classic 16-bit adventures. It was almost like an athlete coming out of...

Getting it right
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 was not a bad game by any means, but it just didn’t feel right. Over the years, the Sonic series has developed a distinctive “feel” which was completely missing in SEGA’s episodic debut. Thankfully, the Japanese publisher is not planning on making the same mistake twice. Speaking with...

This looks great! I'm glad they actually put some NEW stuff in it! When they make Episode III they need to bring back the Super Emeralds. I REALLY hope this gets released for either 3DS,Vita or Wii U because when the Wii U comes out I'm gonna sell my Xbox 360.
I played the demo on my Xbox 360. It is fun. Sonic now has the homing attack and Sega thought of creative ideas with Sonic and Tails working together. (The double spin dash was nifty.) Though what was plain wrong is that the demo only lasted 2 minutes.
