The only reason this isn't considered one of the worst games of all time is that no one's ever played it.
Bad: Episode II
they tried a bold strategy with this game. episode 1 was so bad that it actually meant people were much less harsh on its follow-up when instead of being unplayable dogshit, it was merely dogshit
Metal Sonic is back, that's cool.
sonic 4 episode 2 is at least a little bit better than the original game. i wouldn't say it's worth playing but there's some redeeming aspects to it, like the more creative level aesthetics and much, much better looking graphics on top of better sounding audio too. but the partner mechanic is overused to the point of being annoying, and none of the progress from the first episode is carried over, you only get an additional metal sonic chapter, which is pretty much as average as the base game anyways. wouldn't really recommend, considering there are better 2D sonic games on steam to be playing instead
better than episode 1
LMAAAAAAAAAO
+Tag moves are inventive and fun to use
+Boss Battles are different / fun
+Feels like it's own game
+Level design / Sound feels like proper Sonic
+Backgrounds are pretty
~Overall presentation feels psuedo HD
~Little homages to Classic Sonic
~Story is back to bare bones
-Special Stage 7 is unfair
-No real reward for Super Sonic / collectibles

It's better than episode 1 and is good looking visually but still pretty boring and lacks the flow in control of the original trilogy. If you ever wanna see sonic and tails 69 each other tho I recommend it.
evoluiu...mas ainda é triste.
suck my dick dimps
I never finished Episode I
An improvement, but is it really saying much?
Waaaay better than the first one. I haven't played a lot of 2D sonic at this point, but this is by far my favorite. It really feels like a 2D sonic, whereas Episode 1 felt like a weird, off-brand Sonic platformer. Good job Sega.
Mejora algo con la verticalidad, pero sigue siendo tan o más aburrido que el primero.
more fun
you
UGH.
the tails mechanics are overdone and not great and kinda kill the pacing of an already average sonic sequel
Played this one on my first generation IPad
don't play the first one. neither are worth it
Step up from Episode 1 but that's not saying much
Better than Episode 1. It has co-op, so if you want to share your suffering with a friend or partner, you can do that. You sadist.
Improved on the first game, really fun time
this game is genuinely one of the most patronizing video games i've ever played. it's just baffling to me that sega made this, and said to people who waited for years for a true sonic 4 and were dissapointed by ep1 and gave this. it has so little good ideas of its own, and most of the game can be played by pressing one button and that's it. my last straw was when the last special stage was genuinely giving me motion sickness and the sky fortress boss would just not fucking function, it's a terrible game and i'm so glad mania was made just to spite whatever atrocity this game is.
metal sonic remix song was only good thing here
my favorite part of this game is when the game pauses to show me a cutscene every time i press a button

well, this is something, improves the physics a lot and has a pretty solid level design, but soundtrack is...weird

Ta bueno, una lastima que cancelaran el tercer episodio :(

É melhor que o primeiro episodio mas ainda continua bem meme.
A guilty pleasure game. Although it has been superceded by Sonic Mania and the like, Sonic 4 Episode 2's new mechanics added a level of depth to the Classic Sonic formula that while not needed, added a level of enjoyment to the mix for me. The tighter, more refined controls and (in my opinion) underrated graphics and artstyle should get a bit more love than they do, but the bland level design and dying-cat-riffic soundtrack probably get all the flack they deserve.
