In- game screenshot of the first stage, "Splash Hill Zone"Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I is a 2. Dside- scrolling platformer reminiscent of the original Sonic games for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.[8] Players control Sonic the Hedgehog,[9] using mechanics such as the original spin dash and power- ups such as shields, invincibility and speed shoes. Sonic is also able to use a homing attack, which homes in on a targeted enemy or object. Unlike the first three classic Sonic games, after completing the first act, the player is able to freely choose which zone to play via a world map, or choose to play the zones sequentially.[1. Each of the four zones contain three acts, followed by a separate boss battle act, rather than the boss being included at the end of the third act. Each boss act is unlocked by completing all three acts in that zone. The boss battles, similar to the zones themselves, are inspired by the boss battles from older Sonic titles, although there are variations. Once all acts and boss battles within each zone are cleared, players gain access to a fifth and final zone. Special Stages in Episode I, accessed by finishing an act with at least 5. Giant Ring that appears at the end of the stage, are based on the "Special Stages" in the original Sonic the Hedgehog. The player must tilt the playing field in order to navigate Sonic through a maze within a set time limit, collecting rings to open gates and time bonuses along the way, with the goal of each stage being to collect a Chaos Emerald.[1. For the first time since Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic can transform into Super Sonic during regular levels after collecting all the Chaos Emeralds from the Special Stages, and at least 5. The game is playable in up to 1. HD on the Play. Station 3 and Xbox 3. Wii.[1. 3] The mobile versions of the game can be fully controlled with either the accelerometers or virtual buttons on the touchscreen. Certain levels also make specific use of the accelerometers.[1. Players are also able to upload their game information to online leaderboards to compare level completion times and high scores.[8]Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I is set after the events of Sonic & Knuckles (1. With the Death Egg destroyed, Sonic heads off to explore new territories alone.[1. However, antagonist Dr. Eggman has survived their last encounter, and has revisited and improved some of his creations from previous games, attempting to get rid of Sonic as the first part of his new grandiose scheme.[1. Sonic's battle with Eggman culminates with Sonic defeating Eggman in his new base, the E. G. G. Station. If all seven Chaos Emeralds are collected, a brief post- credits cutscene shows a silhouette of Metal Sonic, hinting at the next episode. Development[edit]. Concept art of Motobug, an enemy originally from the first Sonic game. The game's existence was first revealed on Game. Spot on September 9, 2. Project Needlemouse (the name was derived from Mr. Needlemouse, an early prototype of Sonic pitched to Sega by artist Naoto Ohshima). The site published a brief teaser trailer[1. Sega's Ken Balough who acknowledged that "old- school Sonic fans have long asked to see Sonic return to a more 2. D style of gameplay," stating that "Needlemouse is that critical first step that brings Sonic back to his 2. D roots."[8]The decision to create the game using a 2. D graphical style was made after considering older Sonic fans' possible reactions to the game versus those of younger players: “This is sort of recognition that Sonic is a brand that has a wide variety of fans in a wide variety of age groups. We have a fan base that's very young, and they want a little more of a Looney Tunes- ish kind of gameplay .. But we also have an older fan base who liked Sonic as he was in the Genesis days. And if we want to keep that fan base happy, we should provide games that cater to them as well. So it's more of a splitting a little bit of the brand.”— Ken Balough of Sega. On January 1. 1, 2. Sega of America began a "character countdown" on their blog, removing potential playable characters from a list, which by January 1. Sonic as the only playable character. Also revealed was concept art which showcased classic enemies from early Sonic games.[9] On February 2, Sega updated the front page of Sega of America's website with a short flash animation featuring a sample of music from the game, reminiscent of Mega Drive/Genesis sounds.[1. The game's proper title was revealed on February 4, 2. Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I, along with the debut of in- game footage.[1. The game was developed primarily by Dimps, under the direction of Sonic Team. Takashi Iizuka, who has worked on various Sonic games, notably as senior level designer for Sonic 3 & Knuckles, served as the game's producer.[7] Music and sound were composed by Jun Senoue, also a mainstay of the series, and were intended to be reminiscent of classic Genesis titles, via the use of drum samples from the original Sonic and Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and relatively lo- fisynth samples.[1. Not long after Sonic 4 was officially announced, rumors surfaced that the game was available to members of the Xbox 3. Partner. Net. On April 3, Partner. Net was shut down due to the leaks. The leaked footage led to harsh criticism of the game physics and certain level designs.[1. On May 2. 0, 2. 01. Sega announced that Sonic 4 would be available on the App Store for the i. OS, and that the game was to be moved from its original summer 2. Izuka claims that this was because although he planned for all versions to be similar, two levels that worked on i. OS did not work as well for consoles. The i. OS version retains these levels, which utilise accelerometer controls, while new levels were built for the console versions.[2. The announcement of the delay was also accompanied by an interview with Sega's Ken Balough, in which it was explained that Sega had taken note of fan reaction to the game and were incorporating that feedback into the ongoing development. Areas specifically mentioned were a reworking of the "floaty" nature of the gravity and physics, and a redesign of some levels and elements in order to accommodate more of the momentum- driven gameplay style that was a staple of earlier entries in the series.[2. Reception[edit]Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I received generally positive reviews. Aggregating review websites Game. Rankings and Metacritic gave the Wii version 7. Xbox 3. 60 version 7. Play.

UP. com's Kat Bailey gave it a B rank, praising the game's speed while criticizing some occasional poor design, such as boss battles and puzzles.[3. Game. Trailers gave it a 7. Sonic fans.[3. 7]Digital Spy gave it three out of five stars, with reviewer Liam Martin answering the question of whether or not it lived up to its hype: "Despite some issues with the size of the game and its difficulty (it's very easy), the answer is yes, but only just."[4. Eurogamer's Ellie Gibson gave it a 9/1. However, Gibson has since retracted that opinion. Talking about the game on Go 8 Bit DLC she admitted to being, "drunk on nostalgia" when reviewing it. Gibson later played the game again for the program, and admitted she was both wrong and that whenever she gives a controversial opinion on a game her critics refer to her ill- judged 9/1. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 in response. She has since apologised for her mistake and said: "I would be very grateful if the internet never mentioned it again. I've said sorry, leave it!"[4.
