New Sonic the Hedgehog 4 screens take us back

Ah the 90's. It wasn't all about bad pop music, flappy David Beckham hair or people freaking out about Y2K. It had some pretty good games too. One of the early greats was Sonic the Hedgehog, and with Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 around the corner, we can at last relive some of that joy. We hope.

Sega have released some new screenshots of the game featuring action on the Splash Hills Zone. They have also kindly made available an MP3 of the Splash Hills music, which you can download from their site. Whilst you're there, check out all the other goodness on their new Sonic 4 site, its been updated with a whole bunch of other media.

The first Episode is due out this summer for download on Xbox LIVE, PSN and Wii Ware.
