WE WANTED. WE RECEIVED.

The blue blur is back at it again with a new adventure to stop the uggo with a remarkable mustache. As Sonic goes to make a visit to his developmental territory, we see some highlights of a great game.

First off, allow me to say how outstanding the previous update was. The controls are now very similar those of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2, which is what we all needed and now received. Also, THANK YOU for fixing the aspect ratio, which was about driving me to insanity. Full screen is the best experience, no matter what anyone says. I seem to really enjoy this game, though it is repetitive. Though this is just a merge of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2, this didnt affect my review. This game is still pretty addicting.

Some of the information on the one-star reviews may be accurate for some users, but I dont see a problem with other information on the reviews. Consider what is said in the reviews, but know some of what is said shall NOT be tended to.

I have to add something after collecting the 7 chaos emeralds. Though very similar to the original Sonic the Hedgehog, I love having 101% control (extra 1% because of the tilting). Well done. I see this game gives the player even more rage after running into the "!" orbs. It is better than the "GOAL" orbs at least. Now when I get 50 rings on a level and turn into Super Sonic, I see more logic behind the transformation, showing all the emeralds before switching colors. When I control Super Sonic, it doesnt remind me of an invulnerable mortal. I see a god behind Super Sonic. I have a recommendation I dont care if it is considered or not with Super Sonic. I would much rather have Sonic in the air when the transformation button can be pressed. I dont know, just my preference that may not align with others. That recommendation doesnt change my 5 out of 5 rating of this component.

My review would have been 3 stars with the last update. How can you guys increase this very review to 5 stars from the even 4 stars? I have some recommendations.

I want sensitivity increased on controls to make the game even more similar to previous games. Preferably on the pad that makes Sonic move. The button that makes Sonic jump is fixed and all good now. And the SFX is ridiculous. The music doesnt require any work. I get sick just hearing the "SE-GA" when accessing this game. When you collect a ring, the sound it makes just makes me want to delete the game. Im sure it is an easy fix, but I want my ears saved from the abomination of sound effects that make up this game. Episode II doesnt have this problem, so you have a template!

With the recommendations in mind, I will rate this game 91/100. You have me at a state of satisfactory, Sega. Im proud of what you have done here. This book cannot be judged by its cover. Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I proves Sonic can still make it in the major league after 11 years of going down the slide. This game is Segas "Oh, we cant make a good Sonic game anymore? Well I wonder how this will do. Im sure this wont be a masterpiece! ....lame-os."
