I would give Sonic the Hedgehog 4 a solid “Okay” rating. It was fun, but if you’ve played Sonic the Hedgehog 2, then you’ve already played 75% of Sonic the Hedgehog 4, since it is basically a re-hashing of the former, but with better graphics and slower hedgehogs.
Mike Hayes, President of Sega of America and Europe, realizes the fourth installment had its share of hiccups. Hayes stated, “I know there were some quality issues that we had there that we’ve taken on board and there will be further episodes following up on that. I think the next one’s excellent. I think that’s going to overcome some of the issues that we had on the first one.”
Hayes did not give any information detailing Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2, nor was a release window provided.
