Comments on Sonic 4™ Episode I for Android

★★★★★ I always love sonic. Sonic 4 was the first sonic gamr I've played it's amazing burt I wished they did something new not og but it's self was still ok. I wish it was free but still a good game

★★★★★ Sonic's good and all but this is good to, but it's kinda bad but sega still made the effort to make the game 🎮 😅 so it's still good-looking as a 🎮 do there you go Sega still looking forward to the future

★★★★★ The game is awesome. But the sound effects are missing I can't hear the rings or pretty much anything even if the sound effects are on 100%.please fix this

★★★★★ Get my YouTube channel this gate is the best game ever Sonic the hedgehog 4 if I not write if not just give my YouTube channels down My Roblox server it is there's Roblox is trying to get more awesome it will be back soon Roblox

★★☆☆☆ The graphics are great, but enemies keep getting in my way I lose so many rings like I just started the game and when I reach a slope with enemies I lose rings 1 Star the controls are bad and sonic runs stupid in this game I like what they did with the sequel.

★★☆☆☆ Sega, if you're not going to update a game to work on newer android, don't sell it for new android... There is a myriad of issues pertaining to the quality of how the newer android versions (13+) run Sonic 4 Episode 1. Mainly, the sound effects are missing. Sound effects previously had a problem where they would sound much deeper than they should, but it was better than nothing. You recently updated episode 2 but episode 1 is stuck from 8 years ago. It's a scam if you don't fix this game.

★★☆☆☆ The cart won was so fast and fun and supersonic still has 50 rings to activate it not 100 chaos stages give you 1:30 seconds so u get extra 7 rings on last chaos emeralds with about 10 more seconds left I love that there are all bosses with an actual death egg and how the bosses get harder each almost defeat becuse it's fun I love having to play as actually supersonic but sonic cd don't I love actually retracing stages we're I almost hit the goal, but I have to hit pause fast that's how I got al

★★☆☆☆ It must be forgotten about and destroyed Do not Waste Your Money Go Get Sonic Mania

GamePro - “…this looks and feels like a genuine Sonic game, deserving of the "4" attached to its title.”
IGN – “After an afternoon in its presence it's become seared in our conscience just like the classic levels of the early Sonics – and surely that's reason enough to have faith in Sonic the Hedgehog 4.”
