I expected a game on par with the 2nd game in the series. What do I get? INCREDIBLY slow speeds, shit graphics (sonic's colours are way off) and some of the worst music ever made in the history of gaming.
Don't even get the trial. IT'S AWFUL.
I haven't tried it yet, don't know if I will do it when you said that.
EDIT: It has 84 on Metacritic, so it's actually good?

do what
Trying sonic 4, durr.
Well, we know now that sonic will forever never be what it was back in the early 90s. Time to move on to the modern video gaming where everything is over the shoulder shooters and only last 6 hours long.
Sonic has been dead for years. Sega are trying their best to keep on the Gaming market map, it does not bode well for them.
To be honest, they should've abandoned the Sonic series 9 years ago. And focus on the rest of their games that were cult classics like Jet Grind Radio, Shenmue, and the rest of the Sega Arcade games.
The music truly is terrible.
Nothing compared to

Well, I guess that's that. Sega is now 100% dead for me.

Oh god this!
Let me be the first person here to say he enjoyed the trial. That said, the only issues I had was the floaty spin controls and the average music.
I tried the demo a little while ago, and I wasn't very pleased with it. Everything felt sluggish, Sonic's animations were horrible...and the music was pretty bad. I think I'll pass on this one.
The speed was meant to resemble Sonic 1
To be honest i loved the game.
i have the iphone version though so i can't say the same for the console versions

Last time I checked Sonic 1 was faster. YOU CAN'T MAKE A GAME ABOUT BEING FAST IF YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HITTING WALLS AND ENEMIES EVERY 5 SECONDS.

I remember it being like that in Sonic 1. Is it worse in this game?
It's like the sonic 1 Fast, but sometimes there's obsticales and stuff in your way
Jesus, are you Sonic fans never satisfied?
"omg they should just make a 2D sonic! these 3D ones suck dick nipples!"
"Wish granted!"
"omg it not 100% like the first ones! you lose good day sir!"
I'm obviously generalizing but still, almost every time new sonic game is released everyone bitches and complains about how it sucks and they should make a 2D one. Then when they do make a 2D one everyone still fucking complains, I mean what the fuck? This isn't the 90's, you have to expect things to be different.
The game is good. Sure the animation is choppy but remember. Sonic is NOT ALWAYS ABOUT SPEED.
Plus I myself found major improvements seen in Sonic 4.
There are far less bottomless pit in this game.
The bosses are tough only for the first few tries until you figure out the weakness.
There are completely no QUICKTIME EVENTS.
Sonic is the only playable character.
Sonic speed isn't too fast nor too slow.
The homing attack makes it easier to kill.
Plus spin dash is back

What? I'm pretty sure that was the only thing he was about.
Oh did I mention, there are no new characters at all

No, the homing attack makes the game easy mode.
The homing attack was added in in the 3D games because it made it possible to hit enemies in 3D, which was hard when going fast. In 2D, that's not needed, as you don't have that third dimension to complicate it.
Idiotic choice, shouldn't be in the game.
I hear it's not bad at all, actually:

Mostly people who say it suck are purists, which suck so why bother listening to them.
I'm a huge fan of sonic, and it looks like fun. I'll have to try the trial out.
Whine whine whine, baww baww baww.
Just leave sonic alone already.
I wish Sonic got burned by Eggman/Robotnik and had to go back to his 90s look. That would be a small step ahead.
I dare you to play Sonic 4 without the homing attack and see if you could progress in the entire level. The homing attack in this game is very important. Without it, you can't get far.
Example flying enemies
i thought this game was alot of fun, and every review i've seen has been really positive.
hey guys, obviously this game sucks because it has a few flaws.
dont buy it ever, nor even try it for yourself since my opinion is yours aswell.
sonic is dead to me. and the fanbase is full of monsters with sonic stuff all over their rooms.
theres even some guy who made the top 10 hottest female sonic characters.
rest assured. dead franchise + army of hedgehog fetish fanatics = my early childhood ruined
