Everything is just a little bit better than its predecessor. Better graphics, better level design, even slightly better bosses. You can even play as Metal Sonic in a side campaign, which I think is pretty badass.

Other than that, though, the physics are still a bit wonky (though not as atrocious as the last attempt), Tails is useless because can only fly for like 2 seconds, and the game as a whole is still inferior to the classics that “inspired” it. At this point, I think we all agree that Mania is the true Sonic 4.
