Not too long after notifying us of Neo Geo titles coming to the Playstation Network, the ESRB is at it again, this time giving us some details on the forthcoming Sonic 4.

Below is the description:

“This is a side-scrolling adventure game in which players zoom through themed levels, collect gold rings and jump on tiny robot enemies. Players earn points for collecting “power-ups” and freeing tiny animals that are trapped in the robots. During boss battles at the end of levels, players may encounter an arch nemesis in a mechanical device that gets charred and emits some flames when damaged.”

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? It should as it’s the same general outline of gameplay featured in all of the other Sonic games that we have come to know and love.

Sonic 4: Episode 1 will be out on the Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 this summer.
