I am concerned with the state of the human race for this game having mostly positive reviews. This game was abhorrent. Some of the worst level design in a 2D space honestly. The game looks visually appealing, but underneath all the pretty graphics is a pile of trash with design that blindsides you so often, and boss fights that involve SO MUCH waiting around. Sonic Superstars got all of its bad design choices from this game right here.

While this game is a step up from Episode 1 in terms of quality, the majority of issues in that first game remain at large. This game does allow you to retry Special Stages to avoid replaying a level just to access them again which is much more lenient than Episode 1 where you have to replay a stage just to try again, but the level design is still bad, the soundtrack is still a huge downgrade from every other mainline entry, and its just incredibly under-baked overall.

The best part about this game is the Episode Metal DLC that lets you play as Metal Sonic in a prologue to the game, as well as establishing how Metal Sonic came back after the events of Sonic CD and Little Planet. It's just a shame you can't play the whole game as him AND you have to beat the campaign to even unlock it. Unlocking DLC after you beat the game, crazy.

As a kid I really wanted to see Episode 3 get made, but after playing and beating these games with all 7 Chaos Emeralds (each), I think it's for the best we leave this one behind.

A 5% improvement on the last game. Which is to say, this is an embarrassing release. It has the worst Metal sonic fight in the company's history. A few decently executed levels does not make up for a massive low point in Sonic's career. And that's a career full of low points.

After playing Sonic 4: Episode I, I thought Sonic 4: Episode II would also be a disaster. Well, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. The game still has some bad controls, but they’re not as awful as in Episode I.
The graphics got a huge upgrade, Sonic and the other models don’t look shiny anymore. In this one, they actually look quite nice. The bonus stages to collect the Chaos Emeralds are also much better.
As for the buddy mechanic (where Tails picks you up or you do a fast roll together—I don’t know the exact names), I found them pretty meh. Not very impressed by the idea, and they get quite tiring after using them so many times. After all, the classic games didn’t need any of this to be fun!
The stage design is a bit better than Episode I, but nothing grand. The homing attack does feel more responsive, which is an improvement.
Overall, it’s not terrible like the first episode, but it’s also not good. It’s just very MID.
5/10 is all I could give this game.

the first half of the game is actually pretty good. i particularly like the more original level themes, and the moves you can do with tails.
the second half is awful. oil desert has level design on par with labyrinth zone and hilariously bad music. sky fortress starts with a pale imitation of sky chase that takes far too long to complete, then has a pretty good imitation of another level, then ends with another awful level. death egg mk. ii (wasnt there already a death egg 2 in sonic the fighters?) has some pretty decent level deisgn but also has three terrible boss fights, the last of which made me rage quit.
getting into the special stages is way more of a pain in the ass than it needs to be. you still need to jump into a giant ring at the end of the level (despite how much this game is aping sonic 2), and actually getting into the ring once it's there is way harder than it needs to be. there was a time when sonic's model was literally clipping into the ring's model (i was literally more inside the ring than the normal way one can be inside a ring) and it didnt count.
this game isnt as bad as episode 1 but it still fucking sucks. if you're gonna play this game at all, a: wait for it to go on sale and b: stop playing after white park

Better physics, more original level themes and bosses, the addition of Tails as a partner character, and less whiny instrumentation in the soundtrack all make this game a marked improvement over Episode I. I'd still recommend you wait for a sale before getting it, but it is overall still a fun, serviceable entry in the 2D Sonic series.

I definitely think this game is better than Episode 1, which was one of the worst feeling 2D platformers I had ever played. This is just an okay 2D Sonic game. Its levels are fine, its music is whatever. I do actually like the buddy moves you can do with Tails, but it's not enough to save the experience. It's better than Episode 1, but it's still not great, and your money is better spent elsewhere.

Oh and you also get “Episode Metal” if the game detects save date from Episode 1. It’s 4 Sonic 4 Episode 1 levels, but now you play as Metal Sonic, who is just a re-skinned Sonic with no unique skills. It's not worth it; if you want to play as Metal Sonic, just mod one of the other Sonic games.

It's an "okay" Sonic game - much better than the Episode I for sure.
The musics are disapointing. I appreciate that they introduce new mechanics in this game with the "combos" between Sonic and Tails: refreshing!

Even if this game is an improvement over Episode I, that's not saying much since the damage is done. But hey, at least the graphics are far better.

The physics are still cumbersome, and the game is a continuation of nostalgia bait. Especially when the levels are from Sonic 2, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles, except in a poorly-designed format.
Sylvania Castle is Aquatic Ruin with Marble Garden elements,
White Park mixes Carnival Night and Ice Cap,
Oil Desert is if Oil Ocean and Sandopolis were fused together,
Sky Fortress combines Sky Chase, Wing Fortress, and even with Flying Battery elements.
And Death Egg Mk II is literally another Death Egg, yet shorter than the previous zones. There's varying gravity and Metal Sonic in one act, and the final boss in the next.
You cannot forget about how the Special Stages are like Sonic 2's half pipe, but suffers from the exact same problems.
But at least the bosses are more original.

As Tails returns as a sidekick, his controls and mechanics are a bit off, especially with the Tails copter. Unfortunately, the Red Rings in this game did absolutely nothing.

To be honest, the soundtrack is not 100% botched by the so-called Genesis sound font, which clearly makes it more tolerable than Episode I.

This game ended on a cliffhanger, but the cancellation of Episode III was a blessing in disguise. The Sonic 4 saga failed so badly that Sega rightfully disowned it. Either way, it's still an okay game.

Much better than episode 1!
If you really want to play one of these 2 games, play this one!

The controls are a lot better, still not as great as the classic 2d Sonic games, but managable.
The stages are better designed and look beautiful, but it still has a lot of flaws on the gameplay side of things.

In this game you play as both Sonic and Tails and got a lot of places you need to use their combined power to get through the level. While this may seem fun at first, it only slows you down and its always the same few abilities... like flying (obviously, cuz Tails) and rolling together to be able to get through stuff you otherwise couldn't or to just build speed.

The special stages in this game, are much better, though you constantly have to live with the fact that you gotta try to get all the rings yourself and don't let Tails collect any ever. He will copy your moves, but he jumps later, so he constantly gets hit by bombs you gotta jump over. It is quiete a hassle to complete, but not as annoying as the special stages from the previous game.

The game itself isn't that long either and since you can actually control Sonic a little better this time, you will get through the levels a bit easier and be done with it quicker. Personally I wasn't annoyed that much, if Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 was released like this game and Episode 2 would have gotten as much better, as this got to the first one, it could have actually been a really good experience.

As it stands, its simply an okay Sonic game. There are many which are better, but if you're craving more Sonic, you could actually play this and have a bit of fun.
