@RuNa:
So I've been playing Sonic 4 on my iPhone…
Yeah, SEGA doesn't get it.
Most of the complaints are valid. This game plays just like Sonic Rush. minimal movements just to get to the next bumped or speed booster, excessively long levels with minimal bad guys (3:30 minutes seem to be average) and a lot of vertical areas.
The homing move, however, was actually better than I thought. On an iphone this actually makes the game playable unlike Sonic 1 and 2 but since you don't need to use it much it doesn't get in the way. It can also be used as a speed boost in the air. Might be different on the consoles, though.
Something I found VERY stupid, though, is that you can play all the levels IN ANY ORDER! After completing the first act of the game you can play any zone and any act that you want. What's the point of that?!
Urgh, so even the level design is rush.
I thought at least that was supposed to be better, but apparently not.
Oh, and it's kinda like shooting fish in a barrel, but for anyone who wants a good laugh at sega…
