    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.

    Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a direct port of the Genesis classic and nothing more. Its controls, difficulty, and slight bugginess, however, will turn some people away.

    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.

    If you have a iPhone 3G of previous device, and haven't played Sonic 2 before, don't let this be your first experience with the game.

    Despite everything that made Sonic 2 the top selling game for the SEGA Genesis being left in this iPhone port, it just can't stack up to the original 20 year old console system that defined a generation of gamers.

    Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a wonderful game… on other platforms. The iPhone edition suffers due to imprecise controls (partially out of SEGA's hands) that make it difficult to truly appreciate what an achievement Sonic 2 was on the Genesis.

    At best, it's an alright game, but everything good about it was good in 1992. The iPhone itself has added nothing, and you could get five better games on iTunes for the cost of one mediocre Genesis port.

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