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!

@@hotfuzzpooleygaming9232 where did you get 1% at the game?
Wow the second half of this has so much going for it. It's actually really cool looking
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.
@@hotfuzzpooleygaming9232 true!
1:08:49 I love this transaction
To make it like one great adventure of sonic and tails and maybe metal sonic
Man, this game would’ve been good if they made physics a little better, not ripping off zones in obvious ways, and actually made it a continuation with more new ideas.
Or better yet, just call it Sonic the Portable for phones and tablets only.
Great to watch; thanks for sharing! 😁👍👍👍
Thanks for watching 😊
My imagination of original zones in sonic 1 2 and 3
Splash hill=green hill zone
Casino street=casino night zone
Lost labyrinth= labyrinth zone
Mad gear=metropolis zone
Egg station=death egg zone (sonic 2)
Sylvania castle:aquatic ruin zone
White park:stardust speedway zone
Oil desert:oil ocean zone
Sky fortress:sky chase and wing fortress zone
Death egg mkII:death egg zone (sonic & knuckles)
I'd say White Park is a mixture of Ice Cap & Carnival Night Zone from Sonic 3. Plus Oil Desert has some Sandopolis Zone vibes to it.
they just renamed the old zones😭
The games are not bad i just wish i could play them but i understand why the games were not reviewed with the best of fans it was not the true 4th game in the sonic name but for me sega was trying something new and different with in the time in the game release and it did two episodes and metal sonic as a playable character even if it just metal sonic in the first game stages but i still don’t mind what sega tried and it may have not worked so thats why we never got a episode 3
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.

Nostalgia

Episode 1 and 2 soundtracks are underrated
Jun Senoue gets a hard time but I do like his music despite the monotonous use of the Genesis sounds. The man has always wanted more creative freedom with the Sonic soundtrack he has been involved with over the years.
Overrated*

Is cool then a man dont Forgot About sonic 4
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.

Bro gone dream mode
Plot twist: Sonic 4 (ep 1 & 2 + ep Metal) is just Sonic, Tails, Metal and Eggman tripping heavy
56:24 what is Eggman doing it looks like he's pretending to be a fat comedian on the fish stick themed south park episode
I like Sonic 4 but the thing I don't like because when you're in the special stages it always times you
true
Fun fact: The boss music for Episode 1 is actually an unused boss theme from Sonic 3D Blast on the Genesis
I actually didn't know this! But I think it should have remained unused. The two we got for Sonic 3D on Genesis were better in my opinion.
@@hotfuzzpooleygaming9232 I agree the ones already used are good, but I think it's also a case of Sonic 4 not really replicating Genesis style music well, because I like the unused original
I like it❤
Even if Episode Metal is a mod,hack,fan game or whatever it was still nice to watch.
@mustlovecats It was official DLC that is only accessible if you have purchased both Episodes 1 and 2
@@hotfuzzpooleygaming9232 or you could get I for free from the mobile stores
@@hotfuzzpooleygaming9232 for mobile u just download ep 2 and u get ep metal for free with the actual ep 2.
It's funny that Episode lll was nerve made
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!
The games weren’t good to many

NEVER not NERVE
I wish they didn’t cancel Sonic 4 episode 3
I want the sonic 1 game so hard
Yo my subtitiels say this say god in the sega intro
I realize that Sonic 4 Episode 1 is a copy of Sonic 2 from the mega drive but Sonic 4 Episode 2, which game did they have any idea about?
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.
I don't understand how to open this episode if I have episode 1 and 2 on Xbox 360 freeboot tried pressing LB does not work I don't know what to do anymore
I managed to get 1, 2 and Metal working on Xbox One but I have forgotten exactly how I did it. Once you have the game from the store, have you clicked on manage game and apps?
no, I don't have an xbox live, I have a stitched console.
Which version of 4 is this?
The Xbox 360 version
2:34:28 wait bro what why did it look fine i thought it was going to fucking explode!
I think Episode 3 would have answered that question
Super sonic super tails and super knuckles
You can’t watch this in prison so you are not in prison 1:06

There is a typo of games as ga5mes in this video's description.
Fixed. And thank you.
@@hotfuzzpooleygaming9232
You're welcome. 😉
does getting the 7 chaos emeralds change anything?
Other than being able to turn into Super Sonic, the only thing that changes is the ending of Sonic 4 Episode 1 where you are treated to a 2 second teaser of Metal Sonic. And that's it.
💯
I literally saw you had hack. You really do run. That spike in literally touch it with your feet.
There was no hack but out of interest, where was you were referring to?
Sometimes game hit boxes aren't perfect. There are also small glitches and stuff in games. Finally sometimes games are designed to help the player a bit
Spash hill zone act 1
How he dash spin he have torch in hand
Torch supposed be of
I actually never considered that lol
super sonic vs metal sonic sky fortess zone boss
Why did you skip mad gear act 1?
I didn't skip it, I forgot to include it in the video and the video is too long to add anymore clips to it unfortunately. Mad Gear Act 1 is in Metal Sonics episode
What you playing on
This is actually on Xbox One despite being both Xbox 360 titles.
ok
I always thought that this was like a unfinished prototype or sumtin but this is a full game and a half! Maybe I'm misremembering but I thought that people made it out to be 06 esque
is this like officially unavailable to buy/play these days ??

Yes you can! As far as I am aware, it's on Game Pass and the Microsoft Store (Xbox 360)
from what I've seen [so far] it seems you forgot to put mad gear act 1 in there
I know but there's very little I can do about that now the video has been uploaded. You can cut parts of a video but you can't add stuff to it. On Metal Sonic's episode, Mad Gear Act 1 is there.
@@hotfuzzpooleygaming9232could always delete this and then re-upload the complete version if you still have all the footage somewhere.
I cant find the special stages...
special stage is you need 50 ring goal is big ring jump in

I should have gotten hit by those spikes absolutely but hitboxes aren't always perfect
@@hotfuzzpooleygaming9232 seems true
Clickbait title it says no deaths and there was so many deaths all of those poor badniks .
Hahaha I suppose that's true 😂
@@hotfuzzpooleygaming9232 think it's possible to beat sonic as a pacifist?
@AverageViewer972 That's not a bad idea! Doesn't apply to the bosses but not destroying the badniks is certainly possible on Sonic 1, 2, CD and 3 and Knuckles. Sonic 4 though.....I don't think it can be done as you need to homing attack a path of enemies in order to get over certain gaps. I don't believe it's possible in that game.
@@hotfuzzpooleygaming9232 imma go try it in sonic 1

Who
Labyrinth is the best
Yup
1:03:48 looks a bit like "Phanto Rubi"
I thought that too! Probably where they got the idea from
The correct name is "Phantom Ruby." Phanto is just the name of the masks from Super Mario Bros 2.
