Sonic the Hedgehog made his debut in 1990 on the 16 bit
system known as the Sega Megadrive or Genesis if you are from the US. It was
different to what we have seen compared to Nes at the time because the Snes
wasn’t out at the time. Sonic had attitude and could speed around the level with
his lightning fast running through the colourful worlds. It’s sequel in 1992
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 added a sidekick called Tails the two tailed fox.
Like all the Sonic games you are trying to stop Doctor
Robotnik from taking over the world and turning all the animals into robots of
war. You’ll traverse lots of worlds and zones as you collect rings and chaos
emeralds.
What I love immediately with this game are the graphics they’re
really beautiful and considering that this game came out 22 years ago it still
holds up today with the colourful plains Emeralds Hill zone to the flashing
lights of Casino Night zone. The levels are all varied and it never gets boring
when you’re playing through the game because it’s different in each zone with
new obstacles.
Through out your sprint through the levels you’ll be
collecting rings, like Mario when you get 100 you’ll gain an extra life, but
unlike Mario it doesn’t reset to zero because you need a certain amount to
access the bonus stages at the checkpoints. Bonus stages will transport you in
a 3D style view from behind Sonic and Tails where you have several rounds to
collect rings and if you are successful you’ll collect a chaos emerald which if
you collect them all you can turn into “Super Sonic” where you turn yellow and
you can run at ridiculous speeds.
The only problem that I have with this game is the boss
battles with Robotnik because they’re not very exciting because he is very predictable
with his attacks and you’ll get the pattern in about a second.
Overall Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a fun game and will give you
something to do if you want to burn sometime very quickly. This game is very
cheap today and is very easy to find on the Sega Megadrive, The Sonic Mega
Collection on PS2 and the Megadrive collection Xbox 360 and PS3.
Perfect Game. I got this as part of some free bundle of apps amazon gave out for android. If you like the original game this is worth the money. It is almost exactly the same. I am of the generation that plays from a controller. It is difficult for me to adapt to the joy stick that I can't feel. I die occasionally from ducking instead of moving forward. At the end of the day it is classic sonic and that's what I enjoy
