O.O
Finally back home and have Wii internet so I finally got Sonic 4. Finished it, got all the Emeralds etc.
Eww :/
At first I thought the game was terrible and awful but now its...actually, it's not great. I'd heard the physics were slightly iffy but my God - they are awful. I know I was peeved at Sonic Colours jumping and physics but after getting used to it I realised it worked really well. These physics are just yucky lol. Walking up hills? Spindashing on gravity defying curves??
Sonic's acceleration is even worse

I also don't get how a single charge on your Spindash causes you to go faster and spin for longer than when you fully charge the Spindash

His speed is also kind of rubbish unless you repeatedly Homing Attack to build up speed. Speaking of Homing Attack, it sucks in this game. It worked in the 3D games because you could see what was coming from miles off and it worked in the 2D sections of Sonic Colours because the camera was zoomed out enough for you react to when you needed to use it but in Sonic 4, it's really hard to react. The difference between a targeted Homing Attack and untargeted is really messed up too :/
Levels weren't that fun, Special Stages were nightmarish. **** those bumpers
Oh and uncurling is terrible on paper and even worse in practice. Seriously what the hell were they thinking? I've got hit so many times because of that stupid addition
It just all seemed really unpolished in comparsion to the Mega Drive games. I hope they fix it up for Episode 2
Btw, Super Sonic is the best thing in that game. I wish normal Sonic had similar physics to him. It's ironic cause Super Sonic was a bit sucky in Colours
