I think its kinda inane how people left and right criticize the game as an unworthy sequal to the Genesis games just because its not exactly like them. Well, why should it be? All the Genesis games were different and yet everyone loved them, so why can't Sonic 4 be allowed to do its own thing? True, I never played Sonic 4, but still. I think we should wait until Episode 2 comes out. I think the key thing most people are missing is that the episodes are not the complete Sonic 4 game, they're only parts of it, and I think it'd be fair to judge the entire package when it comes out and decide then whether or not they're a decent follow-up to the Genesis titles.
