GamePro - “…this looks and feels like a genuine Sonic game, deserving of the "4" attached to its title.”
IGN – “After an afternoon in its presence it's become seared in our conscience just like the classic levels of the early Sonics – and surely that's reason enough to have faith in Sonic the Hedgehog 4.”

Ratings and reviews

This great game was badly ported in 2010. It's pretty much been abandoned since then. What we're left with now is a monster of a port - tiny controls, low frame rate, the top and bottom of the game cut off and sound effects playing in a weird low tempo, even though the music is perfect. This is a great game on other platforms. If you try very hard to overlook this app's issues, it is possible to enjoy this.

I do not like this game, but I still think that it needs to be preserved. This version hasn't been updated since 2016, and is somewhat broken on modern Android devices. Many sound effects are low pitched, there are some graphical issues (just look at the title screen), the game is too zoomed in for modern screens (especially compared to episode 2), and the D-Pad and jump button are too small. I do not expect this game to get updated or even added to SEGA Forever, but it should at least be fixed.

This a short game with some nice visuals, an average soundtrack and decent level design. The special stages are very difficult to master due to awkward controls and the frame-rate occasionally has issues. The physics have a very momentum-less feel about them, which doesn't really feel right in a Sonic game. I can't recommend the mobile version of Sonic 4 Ep1. It's not a bad game, but there are far better 2d games out there. Better to play this game on a console.
