Got 50'67 on SH Act 1. Speed isn't a reward for momentum, it's a reward for skill.
Surprised at all the homing attack fans, but I agree. It's a good addition.
Bonus levels hunh? My favorite is Saturn 3-D Blast followed by Sonic Rush and the 3 "non-spheres" bonus levels in Sonic 3. I did like the bonus levels in this game. They were very challenging but not impossible.
<_<
>_>
I think Sonic 4 is better than Sonic CD. "Runs like hell again" Wooop!!Woopwoopwoop!

agreed, saturn 3d blast was the best of all the special stages... was the only bit developed by sonic team I believe, the rest of the game was rubbish

Given the phyics system, I feel like the homing attack works really well.

Lately i've had problems with xbox.com, right now the demo tells me to enter a code, and sometimes my ability to buy stuff is ignored.HadesGigas said:

firefox and chrome doing the same problem for me, most likely a UK region thing, same shit happened with monday night combat the demo was up late and then unable to buy it until about 4 hours later, shitty service.HadesGigas said:
Jesus christ, they couldn't even give us two acts for a trial? -____-
Graphics are nice, physics are shit. I also don't like how you don't have to use the homing attack, but it is definitely encouraged.
Also, it seems to be a big ass hold right fest, at least that act did.

Well it is act 1 of the first zone, pretty expected to be simple and easy. They probably should have thrown in an act from a different world, so you'd have more than like 1-3 minutes of game to try.

What the? The graphics are a little different from the PS3 demo. He's super shiny here!! Too damn shiny! Lemme run the PS3 demo and check............
...........
Yup. He's shinier alright. Got them on the same TV HDMI and 1080P. Colors are a little better on PS3 version as well. Odd.
Sonic 4 360. Shiny edition.:lol

To be fair, and this is coming from me, green hill zone 1 was also a hold right fest though you did have to jump at least twiceStat Flow said:
The trial might have been better giving one of the middle acts if it's too simple, sega don't want ot scare too many people away giving you labyrinth act 2 in the trial :lol

So is it worth the money or avoid like the plague?

The difference in shine between the PS3 demo and 360 demo is pretty noticeable. Metal Sonic didn't have this much shine!! :lol
kyo_daikun said:
Maybe when it's on sale for 400 MSP. That's the impression I got from the trial. I feel like it could be worth it, but they did a shitty job on trial selection, especially for new people. No boss, a simple (TOO simple) ass 1 minute level, not more than that. Yeah, not a good job.

Trial downloaded, I feel so dirty I need a bath.

Not good.
Will wait for a deal on the game.

Keep in mind that with the current spend 2400 points get 800 back deal, if you get another 1200 point game this month (And there seems to be some good ones coming like Super Meat Boy and Costume Quest) you will effectively be getting Sonic 4 for 400 points when you get your 800 back. That's making me consider it right now, but I haven't had a chance to download the trial yet so I'll have to see how that goes.Stat Flow said:

When does Sony update the EU PSN store? Sonic 4 still isn't up here.

Splash Hill was underwhelming and Casino Street was outright frustrating (fell in to the same bottomless pit seven times in a row, but that's okay, the game gave me nearly 30 free 1ups in Act 2 alone!).
Moving on to Lost Labyrinth now.

Speed shoes = glue shoes, you can WALK up huge walls and keep on accelerating.
Normal sonic can walk around a loop with only about 1.5 sonic lenghs run up before the slope starts.
There is a trick to stick to every vertical wall as long as it has grass on it, must be a collision thing as walls will always drop you off at 0 speed.
sonic's air momentum and rolling is beyond fucked, it's fucking atrocious!
Game looks smooth in 1080p but the visuals still have a amateur 3dsmax feel to it all, shitty lighting on everything.
Game is just bad, the trial just shows me exactly what I know already, a dimps engine not suitable for classic gameplay and which did not need homing attacks at all if they actually thought about level design and classic gameplay. fuck you dimps and sega you blew your last chance with me, don't call this cess pool sonic game a direct sequel to sonic & knuckles if you can't fucking deliver.

I had to log into my US gamertag because the UK marketplace has been shit this year for updating on time.NTom64 said:

You have no idea how frustrating it is to be launched off a powerful spring and have Sonic stop flat in mid air because you weren't holding the direction you were launched in. I've had it happen several times and it's even gotten me killed.
Despite all of the hullaballoo before release I figured I would at least be able to enjoy the game but I was ready to call it quits for the night at Casino Street.

Oh yes, can't forget frantically trying to escape the mega-mack on the moving platforms in Chemical Plant. Metropolis and Wing Fortress bosses were pretty challenging too. But I hated Metropolis and the exploding starfish badniks and block them out of memory as much as possible.Stat Flow said:

I only have the trial but I can see what you mean, first 10 or so springs I hit in the trial I naturally didn't hold right straight away, same with rolling off a ledge sonic will suddenly drop down like you pressed B in sonic adventure.Sega1991 said:

His Xbox Live profile bio proclaims that he is a male model and has a message akin to "Yeah, I'm a Sonic fan. So what? Fuck the haters!"
He's also had 1000/1000 points in Sonic 4 for months now. Combined with shit like this:
It's shocking he hasn't been completely banned from XBL by now. I don't think Sega cares enough about any of their leaderboards to do anything about the guy.

I miss the yellow/red springs from the older sonic games, one generic red bumper doesn't cut it for variety.
I also miss items and springs hidden in trees, in splash hill zone you never go BEHIND any of the palm trees, always in front of them which makes them all feel so flat.
