PlayDevil: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 4 Review

PlayDevil has posted a in depth review of SEGA's latest 2D platform game for Xbox Live Arcade, "Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1".

Is it the reboot that the series deserves?

Here's a snippet:

"Hitting many of the keynotes of the original games Sonic 4 Episode 1 is the first chapter in this new adventure but it feels more like a ‘best of’ compilation than a new experience. Four classic environments return (albeit under different names) with music and sound that captures the mood of the old games perfectly along with controls that feel instantly comfortable to players familiar with the series."
