4 more days till Sonic 4 ep2.

Well in 4 days Sonic 4 ep2 will be released on PSN. With X-Box Live getting it a day late...

And everyone already seems to not like it. Whelp I guess it's no surprise there. And ever since the Beta was leaked on Steam for like a few hours, we've gotten a wave of gameplay vids as well as a look at Sonic 4's lock-on feature.

If you have Episodes 1 and 2 on the same device, you unlock Episode Metal. Which is basicly Metal Sonic in Episode 1 with new level layouts.

AS for the music well it's still pretty bad. And honestly I don't expect it to ever get better with future eps.

On the bright side the physics have been slightly improved... I'll still get it but mainly for Episode Metal with harder ep1 levels.

Do Sonic and Tails do that tag-in animation every time Tails helps Sonic fly?

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Seems like that animation plays whenever you perform any of the two tag actions.

[Ryong]

These tag actions seem...Weird.

Also, wonky physics still there!

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Well, I did say they were slightly better.

Which seems to be the only bright side about ep2.

Update:

Alright so I've tried out Sonic 4 ep2.


From what I've seen of the trail version.

Pro:
The level design is okay
graphics are pretty good
And the tag features are easy to use (PS3=[] / 360= B)
The Physics are improved from the first ep.
Metal Sonic as a playable character if you own ep1 and ep 2 on the same HDD
Coop mode and it's online
New bosses

Cons:
The roll physics still need some work. Since you need to jump while running then hold \/ in order to roll quickly.
Sonic's starting run is still slow. And even Metal's is slow. Meaning you have to homing attack to hit full speed quicker.
Like the first game, The levels are remakes of classic sonic stages. Mostly Sonic 2 and Sonic 3. This would be okay if Sega was open about doing this from the get go.

rating: 75/100

They've improved a bit since the first game but there's still issues with the roll physics and sonic's/metal's starting sprint being slow. Coop mode and Episode Metal is a pretty nice touch though. Hopefully they'll continue to improve the game with ep3.

i've been re playing sonic 2 and 3/K lately, and hasn't moving from a stop always been slow? You can barely run up a ledge without some decent momentum

[Kyanbu The Legend]

It's a little slower then that as in his speed build up takes a few seconds longer. For some players this is a bit annoying.

[Revising Ocelot]

Not interested in these games, but FYI it's been announced there won't be an Episode 3. Wish the same could be said for many other trilogies.

Ah I see, well it was fun to get a taste of semi-classic sonic one last time.
