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

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 broken on modern Android device. 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.

Deserves an update. This game is actually really fun and good for daily runs. I thought it was going to be middling, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I only took off 1 star because it's outdated. It runs at a low fps, sonics model is always smiling, and the graphics/music is too compressed. Other than that though, the game is very fun.

It's already a mediocre game on console, but that feeling is further amplified in this mobile port. The touch controls are clunky, there's a little screen crunch, all of the sound effects are lower pitched, which sounds wrong, and you're forced to use tilt controls in the special stages, making already challenging stages almost impossible. If you're gonna play this game, stick with the console version, preferably the PS3 or Wii versions where the shading isn't overdone.
