News Vs Old - Sonic 4 Ep 2 vs Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog easily. I much preferred the games flow and level design compared to what we got for Ep2.

[The Laird]

No contest. The originally Sonic was revolutionary.

[Eric]

While ep2 is a great improvement over ep1 in terms of graphics & psychics, it's over use of bumpers and bad level design that breaks up the flow of the level and needlessly forcing you to use gimmicky tag team moves and homing attacks. The original Sonic has far more freedom of movement and the player has complete control over Sonic and is not forced to use moves or follow bumpers should the choose not to.

Episode 2 feels older and fewer fresh ideas than the Mega Drive original!

Suprising how a game made in 1991, can be more colourful and vivid than a game made 20 years later.

I take Sonic before his growth spurt

You can tell Sonic the Hedgehog was coded and designed by masters. Not so Sonic 4. sorry.
