Sonic lovers can rejoice since Sega just released Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode II in the Google Play Store and NVIDIA TegraZone. It's optimized for Tegra 3 devices and delivers a near console-like experience that you won't find on any other mobile platform. Thanks to NVIDA's Tegra 3, it has dramatically higher quality textures, better lighting and glow effects, and objects that are absent from other mobile versions. It's the most technically advanced mobile version of the game, and you will find it's a near mirror-image of the PS3 and Xbox versions. Just take a look at the images below to see the difference (click images to enlarge).
Since you can output your device to your television via HDMI and it's compatible with Bluetooth (and wired) controllers, you will have a hard time telling the difference between this mobile version and consoles. For another twist you can even connect to other Tegra 3 devices via Bluetooth for multiplayer co-op action so you can play as Sonic or your flying buddy Tails.
As you know, NVIDIA is hosting the Players Choice Awards so will you vote for Sonic for one of the categories (best gameplay, best graphics, or overall fun)? Don't forget to get your vote in for a chance to win one of seven ASUS Transformer Pad Prize Packs, which include the ASUS Transformer Pad TF300, a matching keyboard dock, a Logitech gaming controller, and a Jambox speaker. Also, don't forget you have until 11:59pm EST tonight to get your entry in for a chance to win the same prize pack from Talk Android.
Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode II is available now for $6.99. Again, this is for Tegra 3 devices, but it should hopefully open up to Tegra 2 devices by June. We will post a hands on review shortly, but for now hit one of the links below to download or get more information.
