I suppose this is worth posting. Skyscraper Scamper: Now with bearable drift segments! Man, it looks almost indistinguishable from unleashed in terms of lighting and such. |

Lets see...
Dimps usual lack of attention to physics noticable in the water running segment (When Sonic jumps all momentum is completely reset)
The music is just a really bad sounding remix of Aquatic Ruin (Which already wasn't exactly a great song to begin with, IMO) EDIT: Okay I guess that isn't the real music. The music still reeks of MIDI.
The stages still appear to be prerendered garbage instead of true Polygons (The logs, folks)
Its [tornado fang]ing Aquatic Ruin. [tornado fang] Aquatic Ruin.
I would say its the Sonic Cycle all over again, but to be fair I don't think anybody was anticipating Sonic 4 E2 after E1 failed to impress.
The Special stages don't look too bad though, Tails doesn't have his movement delay from S2 anymore, and it kind of reminds me of 3D Blast's Saturn Bonus stages as opposed to Sonic 2's rendition.

Aside from the underwater segments and certain traps, Aquatic Ruin wasn't bad at all. And since it's the first zone, it's not going to be as difficult as AR was in Sonic 2. The logs aren't prerendered, if you stop the video at the right moments it's definitely polygons. And while the whole physics thing will probably never be perfect, at least they're improving from Episode 1. Also, the music does bug me. Jun can't seem to capture the catchiness and character of the Genesis-era music with these new songs. A perfect comparison is to this Stardust Speedway remix, which is used in the game but sounds so radically different from the rest of the soundtrack: |

I just hate it. I hate the music, I hate the design, I hate running along just to get hit by Grounder, and its just so [tornado fang]ing boring. Sandopolis is another one I don't like, same with Oil Ocean (But both of those are just related to Music and Layout over anything else, I really can't stand the "Egyptian" sounding music.) |

I really just dont like some of the instruments in Sonic 4. They make the music sound more annoying than it should. for example Genesis style, Splash hill dont sound that bad. But the way it sounds IN game, just sounds terrible, I really hate Sonic 4's instruments so much. |

I just completed Sonic Generations. Replayed a bit of Sonic Rush Adventure. I like Rush Adventure better.
The first few levels of Generations I liked, Green Hill, Chemical Plant, Sky Sanctuary are a few. But it went downhill from there. And the final boss was boring, not to mention they literally repeated "It's a homing attack!" 80 times over and over again. The best thing going for it is all the nostalgic music you could use during the levels.

Those are the first three levels. I personally loved Speed Highway. |

I kinda liked Crisis City classic. the music was real catchy. And theres the troll signpost.
My least favorite is Planet wisp. I have no idea how that level ended up being so annoying. It was fine in Colors.
Yeah, final boss is really bad.
Other bosses were real cool though.

^I got the 3DS version so I never encounter the "It's a homing attack" 80 times or so... plus I think the 3DS version had a much more fun battle against the Final Boss unlike the the console version I saw on YouTube.
Also, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 2 is already out? I have to check it out if that's the case!

Sonic 4: Episode 2 is out for PSN Today.
I can't pick it up yet, for obvious I-don't-have-the-PS3-where-I-am-right-now reasons.

It's a pretty good game. Not spectacular, the bosses are kinda dull sometimes, and some of the physics feel awkward after playing Generations, but overall it's better than Ep1. The last special stage is absolutely brutal.
Episode Metal ain't bad either, just really short, and surprisingly difficult.

Wasn't it the routine to make Special Stage 7 the hardest one (depends on one's viewpoint in each game)?

Well yeah, but this one spikes in difficulty a lot more than past Sonics.
No damage clearing some of the bosses was annoying, mostly cause you have to use Super Sonic wisely. But I did it, got 11 out of the 12 achievements so far. All that's left is to play a bunch of stages as Tails.

So I just got E2.
Is there some reason why Tails is apparently a [tornado fang]ing ghost? I want to do the team combos and all he does is run into me (or jump into me) and become see-through.
To think I wasted $15 bucks on this just to have THE MAIN GIMMICK completely drop out on me.

It wasn't as hard to beat it when you figured out that the rope that sticks to Sonic and Tails is also able to touch rings. Before the third part of the stage, I manage to get 480+ rings, then just pick the last 20 rings to get the emerald.  |

Vix: Still, there was far less leeway in that one than the others. Retry option helped too.
RMZX: Tails does that when you hit the call button. Which is useless in single player cause you activate a team command with Tails being anywhere on or off screen. So it sounds like your R2 or RT or whatever button might be on the fritz.

If they make an Episode 3, the special stage will either be a globe to get grab all the blue balls minus Sonic's or run down a bridge collecting rings.

I suddenly imagined that special stage on 3DS and it was somewhat glorious. |

Although Kirby IS a Lovecraftian beast who subjugates smaller nonharmful races to its enormous appetite and brings angryfaced monarchs back into their thrones, so he's probably got something there.
If that counts as a hint then a truck crashing through your wall counts as subtle.
