![]() Either I am getting to old to realise what must be done in order to be victorious, or the game is getting harder, as I couldn’t even work out how to defeat the first boss without looking it up on YouTube. In classic Sonic games, it seems obvious what you must do to defeat them – hit them X amount of times, don’t hit them while Y is happening and so on. I must also mention the issues with the level designs, particularly boss battles. It wouldn't be a Sonic game without a rollercoaster level. Although this seems like a minor issue, the whole point of the modern Sonic games is to move through the levels swiftly. But on the other hand, when activating a combo, you lose the flow of movement in the game, thus losing momentum and speed. Unfortunately, these issues are still present in this game, and it can be extremely frustrating in parts.įurthermore, the combos are a great addition, bringing something new to the table. The controls can be unresponsive, and it can take a while for Sonic to get up to a decent speed. ![]() If you ever played Sonic 4.1, you will know that there were some issues with the physics in the game. Also, if you own Sonic 4.1 and buy 4.2 on the same system, you will unlock some Metal Sonic levels that explain his movement from Sonic CD to this game, with levels based on Sonic 4.1.Īlthough it is a fun game to play, there are some niggles with the execution. Eggman is the main boss in the game, but you also see the return of Metal Sonic. The stages are well designed and help bring back the magic of Sonic 2. These stages involve you riding Tornado, Tails’ airplane, and are a great change of game play from the ordinary platform levels. My favourite zone in this game is the Sky Fortress Zone – a mash up of Sky Chase and Wing Fortress Zone from Sonic 2. The final boss in the game is probably the best boss in any Sonic game so far, and is fantastically produced. You may also be pleased to know that there is a return of Eggman’s Death Egg in this game, where the final battles take place. Sonic 4.2 has four main zones, each with 3 acts and a boss: Sylvania Castle Zone, White Park Zone, Oil Desert Zone and Sky Fortress Zone. The Rolling Combo involves Sonic and Tails rolling into a large powerful ball, able to easily break through walls the Copter Combo allows Tails to carry Sonic a short distance in the air and the Submarine Combo allows Tails to carry Sonic underwater, allowing swifter movement in all directions.Įverything in this screen points to awesome sadly it isn't. However, when playing in single player mode Tails always follows Sonic around, and you can utilize his powers in the form of combos: Rolling Combo, Copter Combo & Submarine Combo. In Sonic 4.2, a second player cannot join at any time and the multiplayer is co-operative, but more on this later. In single player mode, a second player could pick up the controller and control Tails, and in multiplayer mode the two players could compete against each other in 4 different stages. If you know anything about the Sonic series, Sonic 2 was the game where Tails became a playable character. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 2 (henceforth known as Sonic 4.2) is a modern take on this classic game, continuing directly after Sonic 4.1. In fact, following the legends that are Sonic Spinball and Sonic R, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is my favourite game in the Sonic universe. It is fair to say that while I sit here in my Sonic the Hedgehog underwear, wearing a Sonic the Hedgehog t-shirt, while sat in my living room where a Sonic the Hedgehog poster is framed on the wall, that I may be a fan of the series.
