It was with a mixture of fear and curiosity that gave a new opportunity for Sega, this second episode of Sonic 4, especially for having been completely disillusioned with the first.
I will not "hit more on the same key," can read my review of the first episode, but let me say that Sega "heard" the fans and somehow managed to give a "gift to the thing." Not to say that this completely redeemed Ep2 Sega and Sonic 4 becomes a better game because of it. No. But we have a fun, functional and playable.
The physics has been improved, but do not expect miracles. Not having spent the physics of Sonic's classic, nope, we continue with a mix of Sonic the heavy head, a little less, but with some adjustments that will not leave us frustrated as the first episode.
The big star of the game is undoubtedly Tails, who will like Sonic 2, behind a breath of fresh air to gameplay, allowing you to use new combos and moves that help Sonic on several occasions. Back are also some elements already our acquaintances, such as the Tornado, Sonic plane, which on some levels pilotaremos and Metal Sonic, the great nemesis of Sonic from Sonic CD, entitled the "Metal Episode", four unique levels if they purchased the first game, like Lock-On technology from Sonic & Knuckles, a small but fun "nod" to the old days. connecting the history of Sonic CD Sonic 4 Eps I and II. Return are also bonus levels in "half-pipe" also in the likeness of Sonic 2 and a multiplayer mode co-op either locally or online, with options-score attack or time-attack.
Graphically, Ep.2 is much better than its predecessor, leaving out the pre-rendered scenes to make way for real-time 3D environments that facilitate the location of the characters and enemies on screen at the same time it reduces the blurr that both hinder the Ep.1. The animation has been improved by giving rise to movements softer and more fluid, unlike mechanized movements which had previously.
In short, sonic 4 Ep. II can be considered a good game, not a worthy successor of Sonic's classic, but it is still a fun game to play. I think Sega could have gone further and have adapted this new engine of the ep. 2 and applies it to Ep.1 similar to that made Metal Episode, it would bring even more value to the game and greatly improve gaming experience Ep.1 Sonic 4.
We now await the Ep.3 which must include the participation of Knuckles and hope that Sega further tune the game engine.
Sonic 4 Episode 2 will be available for X360, PS3, PC, Android and iOS this week.
