Seriously, if I'm tossed out a high speed minecart I should not stop in mid-air and fall straight down. That's just weird.
I've played through and beaten all of Sonic 4 Ep 1. I really did enjoy the game. It felt, in may ways, like the classic 16-bit games. I have two complaints: first off, the physics, as you rightly note, are different. I really did not like the change at first, and I would prefer if they would use the older physics model. That being said, I think that if we had not played the 16-bit games, we would not have noticed---that is, the physics are different, but they are no better or worse (from an objective standpoint) than the physics of the older games. Once you get used to the physics, the game is quite playable.
Second, the game is short. On the other hand, what do I expect for $15?
