News Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 To Boast New Graphics, Remastered Physics
"Something about Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 is just not right," read our review of SEGA's nostalgic reboot last year
While we praised SEGA's intentions to return to Sonic's roots with the episodic Sonic The Hedgehog 4 series, we felt a little letdown by the first episode. It sure looked and sounded like a classic Sonic title, but it didn't feel...
