Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode: II

[Keychain]

I will never understand why the first one got all the shit it did.

I dunno either...
Was it the terribly off physics that wouldn't make sense in any game and were just outright annoying, the horrible and obvious DIMPS level design, the plastic and cheesy looking pre-rendered textures, the terrible shading style, the obvious rehashing of nearly every idea from the first games, the horrible meow mix music that stereotypically tries to mimmick the old FM synthesis Sonic sound and obviously failed, the unnecessary Episode separation when we have superior technology these days, the lack of more than one playable character, the shortness of the game compared to say: Sonic 3, etc.

Gee, I wonder why.

EDIT: Oh, did I mention how it hardly feels like a sequel in any way because of the constant re-used content and downgrades from the previous games?

At first you had good points, but then it turned into nothing but horrible nitpicking.

the lack of more than one playable character

You old-time Sonic fans and your complaining about too many characters in Sonic games, and rejoicing about the idea of a Sonic game only having Sonic and Robotnik.

Then you complain about Sonic being the only playable character? Just what.
