Sonic 4 Episode 1 comes out today!

[BluRay2344]

anyone planning on buying this game?

[Snake_XRS]

how much will it go for?

[king_patrick_7]

i think its $14.99

So far has gotten pretty good reviews

[BlackMamba]

might pick it up, but I am more excited for X-Men (the Arcade Game) coming to PSN! Spent way too many quarters on that game back in the day.

I'm conflicted...really the only thing holding me back is the price point. It's so much .

Downloading the demo now though. May have to make it last.

(Will be buying this eventually no matter what though!)

Bought it.
So far it's worth the money. I have no complaints with the controls or other annoyances others are saying. This feels like a true 2D Sonic game.
Wish there was an HD version of SonicCD

How long is this game? It's more then just one level/episode, right?

yes, that'd be an expensive demo!

Graphics look pretty awesome too. You know, with all the visual processing power in these videogame systems, the games that have impressed me most are actually the 2D ones that brings back the old school. Sure, MGS4, Uncharted 2, and Killzone 2 raised the bar, but most 3D games look generic and uninspired. 2D games like Limbo, KoFXII, Shank, Critter Crunch, Swords & Soldiers really show what the hardware can do... probably because they're not confined to some overused engine.

Part of me really wants this, but at the same time, the price is insane. $14.99 for one "Episode". Isn't there supposed to be something like 4 episodes total? So, when all is said and done, this will be a $60 game. Kind of a lot for a throwback to an old school style of gaming that should be pretty basic to program by today's standards.

I'd actually prefer if they just released the entire game on a disc for $60. While still a lot, If I'm going to pay that much for the game either way, then just give it to me in full up-front in a hard media format.

Odds are I will still end up buying it in the relatively near future, but I'm not happy about how it is being handled.

I think "episode" is a misnomer. Just think of Fellowship of the Ring as one "episode" of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and it doesn't seem to bad.

Would you say it's as long as Sonic 1 or Sonic 2?

oh, I don't know. Sorry. Also, to be completely honest, I never beat Sonic 1 or Sonic 2 even though I played both a good amount back in the day at my friend's house (I had an SNES and he had a Genesis)
