This weeks Xbox Live game for Windows Phone 7 is Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode 1. The priced a $6.99 and for once isn’t overpriced compared to the identical iOS version which is also priced at $6.99. So how does it look like? Well it’s relatively good looking; the characters are rendered in real-time 3D while the world is in 2D. Performance is also top notch. The only issue I have is the controls but then again this type of game isn’t well suited for handled devices without real hardware buttons. Check out my video of the game in action on the Samsung Omnia 7 after the break:
