1. Introduction I decided to play the so called Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - Episode I, the game that practically everyone who likes this franchise speaks ill of—even though I was already aware of that fact. Personally, I’ve never played it and have looked up very little about it online. And you know how the internet works, right? It exaggerates everything for the sake of comedy until that opinion becomes the...

it's just mid also the Achievement "Enemy Hunter" had to be one of the worst achievements i have ever done, not because it's hard skillfully but it's just a insanely boring and massive waste of time.

This game is overhated. It controls very nicely, looks pretty good, its well optimized, and is generally fun to play. However it does have its faults. The game is short, you can choose where in the game you want to start from which might be a turn on for some people but not me, and theres an exit prompt and you have to configure your own controls and settings. Long story short if steam had a mixed review option this...

I don't care what over people say. This is a great game to just pick up and play.

This game is painful to play, The level design sucks, The momentum of sonic is terrible and same with control, Boss level design is boring and hard, Don't try this game unless if you really want to.

I hate this game. I always heard people say this game sucks and I agree lolol ! Its not very smooth and it took foreverrr to get the game to even open but when I got it running there hasn't been any problems since thankfully but it still wasn't a very good first impression of the game lol.. The stages/levels I hate them so bad they're just not fun I'm so frustrated playing this I am not excited to play episode 2 cos...

the fact that you need install java just for the launcher to work, even though the game doesnt even use it, is crazy... oh yeah, the game sucks btw lol, its better buying it on sale or just getting episode 2, which is better than this and youre actually not missing much if you dont play this one anyway.

Now there's a lot of people saying this game is terrible, think negative and it'll be negative. beat the game in about 3 1/2 hours, loved the level design and music, everything felt smooth except for initial acceleration. Too bad i suck, couldnt get the last chaos emerald, but overall a really good sonic game, i like how damn fun the levels were. For my bros on linux like me, you have to download the .exe launcher...

THIS IS A TERRIBLE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GAME AND I DONT LIKE IT. this game is definitely not the worst game in history as some say. It is fun to play at times but it is not a very good game at all. The game is a big copy of the sonic 1991 but WORSE. there are very unfair physic problems where if you are even remotely close to a smashing object you get smashed anyways. and the boss battles are very repetitive and stupid. The boss...
