I play the Sonic the hedgehog ep.1 it’s was very hard because the special stages but why in the would this game easier to beat and do a speed run?!!! When I played it it toke me 40 minutes to do the special stages was so easy!!! I like be difficulty not that hard and you can restart and few times to it again!! Just like the first one anyway the game has tails/multiplayer/Metal Sonic story?!!! / New stages that I immediately love after beating them and I like that it’s had achievement if got Game Center it’s amazing devs make the first game easier it’s so easy to beat the second one so easier to do!!!! Recommend play this!! ### 4/5 — Good just one problem *2025-06-01, version 5.0.0.1* When i tried to play the game it kept kicking me out and some times it would work but any other time nope. I would recommend this game if you are a guys who really enjoys sonic like me . ### 5/5 — BEST SONIC GAME EVER!!!!!! *2025-05-31, version 5.0.0.1* This was the first official sonic game I’ve ever played! I watched the first two movies before playing this game. The music is so good. And where is episode 3 sega???? There needs to be an episode 3!! ### 5/5 — The best modern/classic mix besides sonic generations *2025-05-22, version 4.2.1.2* This game is awesome but the ads and you should ad knuckles or a character selection ### 5/5 — This is a really good game I wish ep I could be free it’s *2025-05-16, version 4.2.1.2* It’s really fun I want an ep III ### 2/5 — Why This Game is So Hard *2025-05-15, version 4.2.1.2* I don’t know why this game is so hard and was created by Sega because I giving this 3 stars like Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1, it cost 3 dollars from this game. Bruh in Sky Fortress Zone the Zones and the bosses are so hard that l lost 6 lives and now this I can’t believe it ### 3/5 — Impressive Sort of *2025-05-10, version 4.2.1.2* Okay so if anyone has played episode one, you’d probably expect some thing just as bad but no, it actually GREATLY improves on Episode 1 (which doesn’t sound like much but is) the main issue really is that it doesn’t 100% fix a lot of the issues but definitely works on it better ### 5/5 — Five ⭐️ *2025-05-05, version 4.2.1.2* I really love Sonic Frontiers and this game and the franchise! But the final chaos emerald was to hard but I got it just buy a couple of rings. I also think that it could use a little work on the second level of episode metal and why not bring up the sequel idea plus I think it would be fun to see knuckles and even shadow and Amy again! But please make ep 1 free like this one.sega you make more sonic games for my life! ### 1/5 — td *2025-05-05, version 4.2.1.2* ITS NOT ABOUT YOUR CHARACTERS YOU DIDNT EVEN CARE WHEN SOMEONE USED YOUR CHARACTERS TO KILL OFF THE OTHERS SO WHY DO YOU CARE ABOUT A ROBLOX GAME BARELY GETTING 5k PEOPLE A DAY ## Frequently asked questions about Sonic The Hedgehog 4™ Ep.
