Destructoid's Jim Sterling gave it a 50. Meanwhile, Xbox Magazine's Dave Rudden was less harsh with a 75 for it. I don't think it needs to be said but neither Jim Sterling nor Xbox Magazine are typically viewed as the best reviewers out there. I just thought I'd pass the news along for interested parties nevertheless.

It should be noted that a 5 from Sterling is a 7.5 since he only operates in 1's, 5's and 10's so a 5 is average for him.

Already saw both of these reviews though! They got the physics right, finally but in doing so they sort of ignored the level design it seems.

True that SHINE

However, even Sonic’s long-time sidekick can’t make the smattering of water stages less frustrating, as the time limit to swim freely has seemingly shrunk while a computer-controlled Tails can actually steal your air if he’s closer than you to a bubble (despite him not needing it). With almost every other stage offering expansive levels on par with Sonic CD’s, the underwater stages become all the more exasperating.

Haha, I've always liked Tails but I think this is the first time, in 21 years, that I've wanted to strangle him. What a d***

Meanwhile minecraft gets perfect 10s. Now I'm not saying Sonic 4 is an awesome game or anything, but when you put these two side by side, it's pretty clear which one is an actual game and which is a buggy, unplayable piece of electronic filth.

Didn't Tails steal your air on Sonic 2 and 3 as well? I swore he did

Destructoid gave it an 80. Its headline was 'oh, and the physics are absolutely fine, you whiny bastards', but I can't seem to bring up the original review via Metacritic's link so I can't confirm if it was Jim Sterling or not.

Can't find one for OXM.

Yeah, actually come to think of it he probably did.

You know I don't know if you were here more than a year ago as a lurker or if you just decided to frequent a new board or I just didn't notice you posting before then but you are seriously one of the most awful people here at the moment and that's reeaaaaally hard to do. So, congrats.

DeepsPraw has already been bad.

I remember he made some post about TV Trops being awful, which isn't an unforgivable opinion, but he posted it with such over-the-top vitriol I figured he had to be trolling so I looked him up on lfaqs. He was. Ignore him.

Anyway this is bad news but I think the reviews for episode 1 were very average and I still enjoyed it, so not giving it too much attention here.

Wait that actually makes a lot of sense
