About

I'm Ben (or Benjamin, take your pick) 18 and from the good ol' UK. I've been playing games pretty much since I can remember. Started off with a Mega Drive (Genesis) and Sonic 1, 2, 3. Then got a SNES somehow, and a load of free games for it (I really can't remember how I got it). Then the Dreamcast which is still (in my opinion) amazing, and finally the 360.

I'm in to most games, but my favourite game of all time has to be A Link to the Past. Recently replaying the Monkey Island games and just got Grim Fandango so gonna give that a go at some point. Hobby wise I enjoy playing guitar, and pretty much every type of music there is. I'm stupidly laid back, and really the only thing I excel at it is big words and video games.

So that's me, An English gamer who spends most of his days lurking Destructoid and playing guitar.

Expensive

So according to this scan of Nintendo Power, Sonic 4: Episode 1 is going to be 1500 Wii points, which roughly translates to about $15 / £10 or 1200msp.

I don't really know how I feel about that. Sure, it's bound to be a great game, but 1200 for only 4 zones? It just seems a bit too much. I'll probably still buy it because I'm a huge Sonic fanboy, but I think 800 would have been sweeter.

What do you think?

If memory serves SEGA said that there would be three to four acts in each zone. So 12-16 zones is around two hours of content. Now bring in replay value, and that's at least six hours. Seems like it'll be worth the $15 to me.

i think its a good price for a total of about 12 acts. if its anything like s1-cd then it should have great replay value.

I'm kind of surprised everybody else things it's a good price... still seems like too much to me. I don't think I would be getting much "replay value" out of it personally though.

Maybe I'm just spoiled since this is just "an episode" and I got all of Mega Man 9 for 10 bucks.

So we can all agree that Sonic 4 is gonna be in 4 episodes?
15 x 4 = 60
