So Sonic has had a rough decade to say the least. While some of us (me included) enjoyed a few of the newer titles like Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes, most fans look back on these titles in disgust. Awkward camera, bubblegum rock, and Sonic friends all seem to enrage Sonic fans, while they still buy every title as they are released. Trying to please the angry fans, SEGA surprisingly announced Sonic The Hedgehog 4 for the download services across platforms to be released this spring.
Now, SEGA released a sneak peak into how the soundtrack will be. And while it isn’t strictly the good old FM synth of the Genesis, it’s still aims at a very retro style. Nintendo Power revealed that the soundtrack is being handled by non other than Jun Senoue. What do you think of the sample? And what do you expect of the game?

Most Sonic fans… well, that’s another can of worms. As far as this specific song goes, it doesn’t seem to grab me like other first Zones have, but maybe it’ll grow on me once I get to play through the thing.
I think that sounds great! Looking forward to this one so long as the episodic treatment doesn’t bleed me dry.
Abstractly it sounds good. like maxchain says, you gotta play it for a while to get it in context.
It’s undeniably Sonic, but this totally does not sound like stage music to me. If anything, it should be in a menu.
