Why does Sonic 4 seem to look better on Android than on PC?

If your complaint is about Sonic looking too "shiny" in the PC version, you can replace the PC version textures with the iPad version textures:

If your complaint is about Sonic looking kinda "pixelated", if you have an AMD/ATI graphics card you can force anti-aliasing through the drivers, but this only works at the resolution 1280x720, doesn't work at any other resolution.

The result of forcing AA:

Ok, that helps. Making him less shiny makes this a lot better.

I might as well post this, a comparison picture showing the differences between no anti-aliasing and 8x anti-aliasing, and the differences between the default texture and the iPad version texture:

Pictures in the left have no anti-aliasing, pictures in the right have 8x anti-aliasing:
