Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1

Sonic 4: Episode 1 Hits The Casino Streets

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 is shaping up as a return to form for the old blue streak and as this new trailer clearly shows, with its own version of Sonic 2's classic, gaudy Casino Nights stage. In fact, it looks almost identical with funky fruit machines and giant springs straight out of the old school 1992 Mega Drive game. That's a Genesis to our American friends.

Sonic 4's Casino Streets Zone is a garish, neon treat for the eyes, but most importantly it looks like Sonic the Hedgehog, the way he's meant to be. Ultra fast and 2D.

Episode 1 of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is coming to PSN later this year. Take a look at the funky, colourful trailer right here.

Sonic isn't meant to be ultra fast. See Sonic Advance 2 and Sonic Rush which were both ultra fast and were also both nightmares.

If anyone remembers playing the Genesis games, Sonic wasn't actually all that fast.

I loved this level. I used to run low on the timer because I kept trying to get a jackpot in the slot machine thingies.

Seems like they pretty much copy/pasta'd the casino level from Sonic 2 and added a few things like the cards... still looks fun though. Wish they'd set a release date already; I doubt a game like this would take that long to make these days.

i was actually excited for this when i first heard about it, but with every trailer i see i feel more disappointed in the looks of it. I wish they would of done something retro looking (16bit? ._.) but with modern graphical polish(like the scott pilgrim game) but none the less i`ll probably still buy it because im a fan of the old sonic games
