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

Sega, if you're not going to update a game to work on newer android, don't sell it for new android... There is a myriad of issues pertaining to the quality of how the newer android versions (13+) run Sonic 4 Episode 1. Mainly, the sound effects are missing. Sound effects previously had a problem where they would sound much deeper than they should but it was better than nothing. You recently updated episode 2 but episode 1 is stuck from 8 years ago. It's a scam if you don't fix this game.

Alright at best and mediocre at worst. Has its fair share of problems, including the wonky physics, small controls, and off-pitch sound effects. It also has worse graphics than the console versions, making this one a bit more ugly. Unless you're a hardcore Sonic fan, I wouldn't exactly recommend this game for you. Just go for Sonic 1, 2 or CD instead. Sonic 4 Episode 1 is alright, but that's about it.

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.
