Description and timestamps below:
So here we are....After completing every 2D Sonic game that I know of (including wonderful fan projects), it is finally time to cover THAT game: The infamous Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (Episode 1, 2 and Metal) that many Sonic fans nowadays shun. So it begs the question: Is the title really deserving of such treatment?
Back in 2010, Dimps (who have previously worked on the Advance games and Rush), were tasked by Sega and with assistance by Sonic Team in making "Sonic the Portable" which was a Sonic spinoff game exclusively for release on smartphone and android devices. Halfway during development, Sega decided to rename it as Sonic the Hedgehog 4, making it a multiplatform mainline Sonic installment and as a continuation of the Genesis Sonic games.
The story begins shortly after the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles (1994). Sonic the Hedgehog parts ways with his friends, Miles "Tails" Prower and Knuckles the Echidna, to explore new territories on his own. However, series antagonist Doctor Eggman-who survived his defeat in Sonic & Knuckles-resurfaces, refines some of his past robots, and initiates a plan to get rid of Sonic. While Episode I INITALLY had favorable reviews, many veterans and long term fans of the series (including myself) took issue with a lot of the games physics that were massively different and inconsistent from the classics (which this is supposed to be a sequel for).
Episode II was then announced in February 2011, promising changes to the formula to follow the Genesis games more closely. The game received mixed reviews from critics, although it was generally considered an improvement over Episode I, with praise for the game's improved physics, co-op mechanics and visuals, but criticism for it's boss fights (that drag on far too long) and laughably simple level design (in parts). Episode III was initally planned but then cancelled.
Unbeknownst to many however in 2015, Developer Christian Whitehead said that he had been offered the opportunity to develop Episode III with Sega Studios Australia before that division was shut down, and he instead worked on remasters of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 between 2012 and 2013. Whitehead would then go on to lead the development of the critically acclaimed and successful Sonic Mania in 2017 which, like Sonic 4, acts as a sequel to the Genesis Sonic games. Sonic 4 and Sonic Mania were frequently compared, with journalists and fans viewing Sonic 4 very unfavorably in contrast to Mania.
In my opinion and after playing them again, the games are not too bad and surprised me in that they were somewhat enjoyable to play. But the greatest problem that hurt these games was the title in my opinion. Being a numbered title means that game is going to be compared with the Genesis series and merchandising itself as a sequel to some of the greatest Sonic games ever made. The difference in quality between Sonic 4 and those games are plain to see.
But I think when Sonic 4 is looked at how it was initally designed to be: A spin off Sonic game to be played on smartphone devices and called Sonic the Portable, then I think the games wouldn't have had no where near the negative receptions they received. People should be glad these games exist as it reminds us how far the Sonic franchise has come in the last 10 years. This game led to the creation of Sonic Mania, which then itself inspired other great 2D Sonic fan projects. Sega I also like to think, learned a valuable lesson when trying to buy in on people's nostalgia for classic Sonic in a bad way, and have hopefully remembered why those games were the pinnacle of the series in the first place.
But Sega are still a games developer I love and have the utmost of respect for, just to make that clear and these games deserve a place in Sonic's library of games. But anyway, I did have fun playing these two games and Episode Metal again after all these years. Enjoy the playthrough!

    The 2nd half is the better of the two games in my opinion, but I think the infamous reception of the first episode was too difficult to turn around. It's a shame as I feel these games are better than most people give them credit for, providing they don't look at them as a sequel to the Mega Drive/Genesis games. The project I think needed to stay as a mobile game.

    The games aren't bad at all. What was catastrophic to the game's reception was Sega's decision to name it 'Sonic 4' If it had stayed as 'Sonic the Portable' and stayed intended as a mobile release, I think it would have been a lot better received as people wouldn't have hit out at the wildly different physics compared to the Genesis games, which this game is claiming it's a sequel to. A sequel is supposed to take everything from the previous installment and build upon the formula that initially made it successful.

    It's part of Sonic's history and legacy whether people accept it or not. I honestly don't think it's a bad game. The thing that made it 'bad' was that it labelled itself as a mainline Sonic game and as the sequel to Sonic 3, and this plays nothing like the games that came before it with its momentum based speed.

    Apparently Christian Whitehead when he was working for the Australian Sega Development group was offered the project (Episode 3). He refused as he said the previous two episodes have already strayed from the classic formula too much. This was back in 2015 and went in to develop Mania to release in 2017. And we all know how that game was received!

    Sonic 4 Episode 2 follows Sonic 2 even more closely. The inclusion of Tails, the special stages that are very similar to Sonic 2, Sylvanian Castle which is similar to Aquatic Ruin, Sky Fortress which is very similar to Wing Fortress, the Sky Chase section which is similar to Sonic 2 and also of course the Death Egg, which is introduced in Sonic 2. So yes, Episode 2 is a LOT more like Sonic 2 than Episode 1.

    The correct name is "Phantom Ruby." Phanto is just the name of the masks from Super Mario Bros 2.
