After a bafflingly terrible attempt at claiming that a low-tier mobile game was the esteemed and long awaited sequel to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sega tried to back away with their tail between their legs, admit their faults, and try and make something seriously approaching the quality of the game's alleged predecessors.
Did they succeed? No. Can you fault them for trying? Absolutely yes!

This one's actually better! Calling it Sonic 4 is still stupid, but hey, I had fun this time. I like how it highlights Sonic and Tails working together with the team up mechanic. (the 69 attack is cool)
It also looks much better than Episode 1, even if it still has that budgeted feel to it.
OST is once again dogshit sadly. Jun, just let it go man. Go back to your Sonic branded guitar.
I still wouldn't play this over something like Sonic 3 A.I.R or Adv1, but at least it feels like they were trying this time around.
If only they didn't name it Sonic 4, maybe people would go a little easier on it-- oh I just noticed those pillars in the back of the cover art are in the shape of a II. that's kinda cute
