So far I've been able to stick to my promise to myself that I'd play one zone only a night. I managed to get all 7 chaos emeralds before I even get to the final zone. All that's left now is to beat the game.

I'm having a ton of fun with this game :D

Been playing the ipod and ps3 versions. The game is much more forgiving on the ipod. That's nice :)

The iPhone version feels like a Saturn port to me (not saying that is a bad thing) mostly because the graphics remind me of the iPhone version of Pandemonium which itself is a Saturn game.

Ive finished the game multiple times now... It's just as fun as the classics for me.

The only problem I ever had with this game is the way the physics seem to only work when you are holding a directional button... But as soon as i was used to this which took a few minuites I've had nothing but fun with it.

The level designs are fantastic, each level has its own gimmicks, there are plenty of paths and hidden stuff.

When I get a chance I think Im going to do a write up for what I want changed and improved in Ep.2 There are quite a few things but don't get me wrong the game is a blast.

I played the Ipod version today. Sorry, but both the strange mine cart and the pinball levels are utter shit (especially the pinball). Oddly, and as people mentioned, gameplay feels a lot smoother than the console version. I would definitely prefer it if I had proper buttons to play the game.

A friend of mine, oblivious to the controversies, came to me and said "thanks for recommending me Sonic 4! I totally LOVE the minecart level (iphone)!"

After a full completion of the game I can say that I absolutely love it!
The level designs are excellent and make each and every stage unique and lots of fun. I think my favorite stage would either be Lost Labyrinth Act 2 or Mad Gear Act 1. The bosses are quite cool as well. I like how they are reminiscent of older battles, but there are enough new things to make them fresh and exciting.
Also loving the music. There are some pretty neat tunes in Episode I.
So overall I have really enjoyed Sonic 4: Episode I and I shall await very eagerly for Episode II. I'm sure it's gonna be a blast!

None of my friends play Sonic. They seem to think the new Fifa is pretty good though. So, theres that...

Actually, I didn't even tell them the game was out, they downloaded it from Xbox Live. Perhaps you need friends with eyes.

Sonic 4 is far from shit, it's a fun but has its flaws when stacked up against 1-3. You want shit Sonic games? G Sonic, Sonic Labyrinth, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic '06. Those are shit, Sonic 4 is not. :)

You know what's funny? There was a sequel in the Megadrive. Remember Sonic 3D? Yeah Sonic was much shit back then. Sonic 4 is great.

SHZ act 1: Clocked in at 0.54.62!!!

About halfway through my run, I missed a bubbles and fell to the lower part of the level. Despite this, I somehow was able to move through the bottom faster than the top! 35G is mine!
