Fresh Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Gameplay Trailer Sprints Online

The first gameplay footage of SEGA’s episodic downloadable, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2, has spin-dashed online. The trailer shows Sonic and his flame furred associate, Tails, sprinting through a series of distinctly SEGA-like environments, including funfairs, ruins and snowy mountains.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 promises to pick up where its predecessor left off, with Metal Sonic forming a dastardly alliance with Dr. Eggman and generally making a nuisance of himself.

Put down those chilli-dogs, Sonic – the world needs saving... Again.

This game is going to be tight.

I'm pretty excited. I really liked Sonic 4 despite the wonky jump physics (just took a little getting used to). And any Sonic game that eschews that obnoxious faker Shadow in favor of Sonic's true rival is A-OK in my book.

Interesting choice of music for the trailer (a remix of the Main Menu music from Sonic & Sega Allstars Racing). And I gotta say, I'm impressed with the gameplay, looks eons better than the first episode.

Looks like it was worth the wait. Very excited about this. Episode 1 was not that bad.

I'm remaining skeptical. I'll probably just get it down the line when there's a bundle available with Episode I. I wonder if there'll end up being more than the two episodic entries.
