Yeah me too, I think it's a scandalous rip-off, but I still want it. I imagine that's the angle SEGA are taking..

Gamesradar review is up. They were very positive about it.

Final part of the review:

PostRe: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (13/10/2010)

I'm really hoping the physics are sorted out when I try the demo. I hate that i'll buy it either way because they're putting it out as "Sonic 4". It's just copy and paste from all the other Sonic games, bosses ect.

When is the demo out?

PostRe: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (13/10/2010)

Apparently the iPhone version is essentially the one everyone played at E3, but the others are the newer build.

A means of overcoming Sonic's uncurling in the iPhone version of the game has been found by a player.

If done correctly, you'll fly up in the air in a ball. This is also good for speed runs, instead of having to use the homing attack, you can shave off a couple of seconds from your time by bouncing on enemies(like ruby once said).

Do a jump juuust as you leave the ramp or ledge. This guy in the same thread put it best:

You shouldn't have to find ways to make a game do something it should have done in the first place. Physics and homing attack be damned, uncurling is an unforgivable piece of design ineptitude that almost nobody wanted.

That's so strawberry floating dumb, I have to exploit the game to make it as it should have been?

PostRe: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (13/10/2010)

It's an absolutely horrendous outcome for people expecting and wanting a game that feels like the golden oldies. I'd love for one journo, just one, to have the balls and backbone to ask why s/he now has to exploit a game bug to play the game the way s/he wants to.

It's not strawberry floating fair.

My friend saw him in a bar after Eurogamer drinking, alone and depressed looking. I think it's because of Sonic.

Is there going to be a demo on PS3?

PostRe: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (13/10/2010)

Just read the Gamesradar review. I don't think it was ever in doubt that I'd be buying it, but looking forward to it even more now.

Is this worth getting on iPhone over 360/PS3?
