THEY ARE LIKE 😘😘😘🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👌👌👌👌so byeeee Sega ### 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 . ### 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 ### 3/5 — It’s ok :/ *2025-05-03, version 4.2.1.2* It’s ok but, I’d say it’s not my sort of thing. At first I thought it was going to be pixelated, but, no. It’s not very entertaining for me either ### 3/5 — G’day *2025-04-14, version 4.2.1.2* My good fellows at Sega, I for one enjoy your game, however I come here with a problem. I for one can not access the extra episode inside the game known as “episode metal”, an expansion from the eyes of sonic’s robotic doppelgänger Metal Sonic. I prefer to post it here due to my personal preference to not use the help/support button because it requires me to use my real name. Have a nice day. ### 5/5 — PLEASE: this will make this game perfect *2025-03-29, version 4.2.1.2* Just add support for larger phones. And maybe settings for the touch controller ### 3/5 — This game is better than last but why old one payed? *2025-03-27, version 4.2.1.2* Please make old one free because this one is and it’s better and I would like to play old ### 4/5 — Game play *2025-03-26, version 4.2.1.2* It’s a fun game to pass the time the only nit pick I have is the spin dash it’s not that reliable. But besides that it’s a good game ### 5/5 — Better than the first. *2025-03-22, version 4.2.1.2* I like tails is in this one and the graphics are better so they don’t look like some 5 year old drawed it. ### 5/5 — The best Sonic game but take out the ads pls *2025-03-16, version 4.2.1.2* So im a 10 year old that is a big fan of Sonic.When i first start playing it was a little anoying because of the ads but when i started the levels it was so adictive. Every day i play this game in the morning before school When school dismisses i go to my house start playing all afternoon and at night.My mom thinks i should stop playing but, IT IS SO ADICTIVE I CANT STOP PLAYING! Amazing work ### 4/5 — Bro I can’t move anywhere *2025-03-14, version 4.2.1.2* Nah sega said with this one no don’t get a thumb stick bro in stead a small and finicky one ✅ approved boom now years later I know why lil my didn’t like this game much and why the fudge is the screen so small bro I playing on the handheld version of the mega drive 🫥 but it is a fun game to play though 👍 ### 5/5 — Better Than The Other Reviews Said *2025-03-12* I had this game when I was eight and it was probably the first sonic game I ever played, other reviews say stuff about the controls which I did have problems with but it didn’t stop me from 100%ing the game, and if you’re worried about it being too much like Ep I don’t worry, it’s graphics aren’t amazing but it has several improvements compared to Ep I, The only issue I’m worried about is the multiplayer function and the apple badges which don’t seem to work for me, but do mind that those aren’t that big a deal anyway, oh one more thing, ad-free is only $0.99 so you should buy it, game is pretty annoying without it but luckily most of us find a dollar on the ground once in a while, ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Hell. Just hell. *2025-04-20, version 4.2.1.2* This game is full on hell, especially cause of the ads and underwater levels. I had 6 lives as metal sonic for a level and failed. Those arrow shooters in the water levels and just hell and this game makes me paranoid to collect bubbles. People say sonic forces is worse than this, and they are wrong. The first boss is impossible. ### 1/5 — Sonic 4 ep 2 makes me feel like angry video game nerd *2025-04-19, version 4.2.1.2* This game is way to hard to control the engine is very laggy game gets choppy when you go fast which defeats the purpose of sonic speed ### 1/5 — Buggy mess… *2025-04-14, version 4.2.1.2* I only got to beat the first boss… the control sticks are too small, my finger is covering it completely! Also the bugs… I tried flying and it has a 30 second delay! ### 1/5 — **** *2025-04-12, version 4.2.1.2* **** this game ### 1/5 — This game is horrible *2025-03-31, version 4.2.1.2* It’s not as bad as episode one, but it should not be canon,The partner booze completely break the pace of the game and are horrible controls ### 1/5 — DUMB And idiotic *2025-03-29, version 4.2.1.2* On act 3 I killed one of the seals before it spawned like that frozen ball thing, but for some reason it still came dumb game ### 1/5 — Sega bass fishing when *2025-03-06, version 4.2.1.2* Port Sega bass fishing to iOS ### 1/5 — Issue *2025-03-02, version 4.2.1.2* In the settings tilt control is an option, but it is broken and I have to hold my phone vertically or it will freak out and make me run left during special stages. ### 1/5 — Fails at every turn *2025-02-23, version 4.2.1.2* I have to give this one star ⭐️ because the engine of the game is absolutely atrocious. The game is damaging you at every turn and yet, it does. Sega is constantly making these type of games just because they want money💵. I’m starting to think Nintendo makes better bad games than Sega. (please don’t get mad at me, it’s just my opinion.). I just feel like Sega games that feel more like bootlegged video games. Well, except Sonic Frontiers. That was a good one. But just like at the end of Sonic Frontiers with Sonic 4 as well, they were both rushed. And that makes me feel bad for Sega. You need to do better, man😔. Bye :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s Back!!!!! *2025-06-01, version 5.0.0.1* Yes sir!! 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!! ### 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 ### 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! ### 5/5 — Multiplayer update needed *2025-05-02, version 4.2.1.2* Please add it back or add part 3 ### 5/5 — Great and also please read. *2025-04-19, version 4.2.1.2* I love the game but just needs a few touches and fixes and make it more sonic like but other than that I just wish this is something like a thing that would be re published after better and more… …nice. Great game overall just needs a redo. If u r wondering if u should get it then yes, it’s a great game with MIND BENDINGLY GOOD music, just love the style and everything plus… (super sonic’ sin there😏😄) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-04-16, version 4.2.1.2* All you people saying this game is bad well it’s not it’s so fun and I am a big fan of sonic myself 🦔 ### 5/5 — As un juego así pero de Mario es te juego es muy bueno y as un juego de Mario así por favor *2025-04-06, version 4.2.1.2* As un juego así pero de Mario por favor ### 5/5 — Oh me forget, *2025-04-02, version 4.2.1.2* I forget how to roll and roll jump and all that can someone leave a review how to roll and roll jump?HELP PLEASE!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
