Yep, the robotic hedgehog makes an appearance this time around and has a few tricks up his sleeve to stop Sonic. It doesn’t help also, that he’s revived Sonic’s second nemesis, Metal Sonic to topple you in the process. As soon as it came to me and things clicked, I made quick work of Eggman and pushed forward.īy the time I reached the endgame, I really felt like Eggman had it out for me, for real this time. I literally had to close my eyes, focus (Jean-Claude Van Damme style) and remember my training.
#Sonic the hedgehog 4 episode 2 super metal sonic trial#
Even the first boss you encounter was a trial of hardship, as I desperately tried to find ways to damage Eggman and nothing was working.
The way the levels are designed and how the enemies are placed is almost guaranteed to make you slip up on several occasions.
Episode II is tough, often reminding me of my younger days of trying to complete a run of Contra (Yes, I know) The game was brutal to me at first.
One thing that I noticed while playing this game, aside from the gorgeous visuals and great level design, is the increased difficulty. Tails can also fuse with Sonic to form a Rolling combo that allows them both to dash in a given direction with great speed…faster than Sonic could do alone actually. You must tap overtime or continuously to give Tails some flight, but he will grow tired over time, so you must be a bit strategic about how far to travel given the level. With the push of a button, you can have Tails pick up Sonic, in mid-air and carry him over to another destination. Tails is not just making an appearance here for good looks though, he actually does help out Sonic in a variety of ways. His AI is honestly not as dumb as he was in Sonic 2, but you will frequently see Tails landing on spikes, falling into pits or running into enemies for almost no good reason. While I blaze from act to act in each of the five zones offered here, Tails will be seen constantly propelling towards my location with his two tails. It honestly feels good to have him back on the team, with his struggled but determined attempts at keeping up with Sonic. That’s right, Tails is back and ready to lift Sonic as far as he can to save the day. Sonic jumps into this adventure with some help this time around by way of Miles ‘Tails’. Eggman (Robotnik for those who remember well) in his continuous efforts to slow Sonic to a screeching halt and destroy him. Sonic is once again on the run to stop the evil Dr. I’m sure you can imagine how much trust I instilled on Dimps and Sonic Team to deliver a worthy sequel to Episode I and to my surprise, I was spot on! I saw it on the dashboard of my Xbox 360, confirmed my $15 purchase towards it and began downloading it immediately. Honestly, when I found out about Episode II’s release, I didn’t hesitate. With such a well done Episode I, can Sonic and team come through and deliver a sequel just as fun if not better than the previous? Meet me at the next checkpoint and find out. With such a gap, I had almost forgotten about the speedy hedgehog’s return to fame and wondered if he was ever going to defend his title as not only the fastest mascot in the industry but also as the best sequel of the franchise since (and I know fans will be gasping in disappointment here) Sonic and Knuckles. It has been quite some time since the first episode of Sonic 4 released, and revitalized the way I look at the franchise.
