Sonic the Hedgehog 4 looks shockingly uncrappy

As a boy who has never owned a Super Nintendo, I was always jealous of those who did. I had a Sega Genesis. Sure, we didn't have have Mario, Final Fantasy, or a good version of Street Figther 2, but dammit, we had Sonic. Sonic was awesome. He was fast and was full to 'tude. JUST LIKE ME - or so thought the 12 year old Ion.

In the past few years though, Sonic has pretty much been horrible. Gone were the 2D blazing fast levels - replaced by 3D exploring. That's not Sonic! Where's the 'tude?! Where's the speed?!

Well after 10 years or so, Sega has finally answered our cries to bring back the Sonic of yore. They are releasing Sonic 4 and it looks like a return to form. Check out this badly filmed video of someone playing it... AWESOME!
