From here on out, I think anytime Sonic the Hedgehog shows up in this strip, he will be portrayed as a total dirtbag.
I know I’ll buy Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II at some point. Maybe not this week, and maybe not at full price, but it will be bought, by me, because making poor decisions with money is kind of my thing.
I downloaded the demo and gave it a spin (a-ha-ha) and you know, from the two whole minutes they allow you to play (which is probably bad sign), it didn’t seem awful and is almost certainly an improvement over Episode I, not that that requires a whole lot of doing. Tails is along for the ride this time, a-la Sonic 2, and as much as I typically dislike Sonic’s entourage of animal pals, he might be the best thing this game has going for it. You can use him as a helicopter to buzz around the level, which seems to do an okay job of breaking up the monotony of holding right on the analog stick until you run into an obstacle/die/win. But otherwise? It’s a Sonic game. The controls felt a little squirrely too, but like I said – It’s a Sonic game.
Hey.
Did you know I have a Twitter account? Well I do and you should really follow me. Now, I can’t provide you with any especially compelling reasons WHY you should follow me, but just go ahead and do that @LittleTMart and the rest of that stuff will just kind of work itself out. Pinky swear!
See you next week!
