  • Summary: Sonic, the world’s fastest hedgehog, is back! Introducing Miles “Tails” Prower, Sonic and Tails must stop Dr. Eggman’s diabolical scheme to take over the world. This time, Dr. Eggman is enslaving scores of Sonic’s friends in order to create an army of Badniks, which will build his ultimate weapon – the Death Egg, a planet-sized space station of unthinkable power. Dr. Eggman must be stopped before he can collect all seven Chaos Emeralds and power up the Death Egg – a move which would spell the end for Sonic and Tails! Using only his super sonic speed and the all new super spin dash, Sonic races into action! Are you up 2 it?

    Whether plowing through breakable walls, spinning along a corkscrew tunnel, or frantically running toward the finish line after grabbing Sonic's trademark power-up (his running shoes), Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is all but a non-stop thrill-ride.

    Yes, I do hate inconsistent framerates, but the original gameplay still shines though.

    With performance and control issues, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is a sweet classic turned sour.

    Sadly, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has little to no redeeming value. Considering the cost, you should get your retro fix elsewhere.

    This game is fun BUT i need to see all the screen and use a Real controller. i have the Genesis version (real, not "genisis collection" or anything) its so much easier that having a small screen a small pad and no contoller. Expand
