Is that you who did the review? It's pretty decent.

I downloaded the demo and thought much the same; fun (it really is fun), looks GREAT, but just does not feel like the Genesis/Mega Drive games. Sega really needed to make Sonic 4 feel like Sonic 1-3/K, but they did not do it.

Yea it is me, I have a few videos up now (Sonic 4 makes my tenth actually), I have really been enjoying venting about my thoughts on games and what not. Cheers.

Yea, I hope they find some magic for episode 2, because if its more of the same (rehashed but with a worse engine) there will be little hope for the series being credible again.

Haha, I am planning on doing a Daytona USA review whenever I can get my friend to come with me to the arcade and record a bit, but summers coming fast in AUS and arcades are yuck in the heat.

Saturn games are not very common here is AUS so its rare that I come across any, for reviews I only use real games on real hardware, so might be awhile until my next Saturn video (despite loving the system so much).

Liked the review, good job. However for future i reccomend that when you record your voice you stay a little further from the mike, it will make it sound far more proffesional. Also whilst short is sweet, long is legendary and there was far more i wanted to know about the game when you ended the review.

Keep it up!

Cheers for the input.

I just jot down things I think while I am playing the game and then try to condense and talk about it without including bullshit, I myself, wouldnt care about.

As for the mic issue, I am using really cheap equipment (A few members know I am currently under financial strain) its not a matter of being further away, I plan to do some upgrades in the future (to both video and audio).

It's odd how many companies (and indy devs) I think could have done a better job than Sega did with Ep1, so average. Hopefully Ep2 picks up the slack.
