Sonic 2 is one of the best on the MegaDrive.
But now to talk about Sonic 2.
Sonic 2 is the sequel of the classic 2D game Sonic the Hedgehog. You play as Sonic, the super fast Blue Blur, going through zones and freeing little animals from Dr.Robotnik's inventions. Its like Sonic 1, you run, you jump, but this time, instead of running until you get fast to make a Spin, you can just stop and make your own Spin Dash and it can make you go faster!
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a side scroller, where you go through loops, collect rings, get shields, free the little animals from the evil robots called Badniks created by that evil fatso Robotnik and don't forget the Star Posts! Star posts is your checkpoint and if there are red stars above it, you got through them and you play a Special Stage and if you complete it, you get a Chaos Emerald! Collecting all of the Chaos Emeralds, and with the right amount of rings, you turn into Super Sonic, where you turn yellow and can fly and you are invincible.
The music is very catchy, and you can go to the Option menu and just play around with little tunes! But what makes this game different to Sonic 1 is a new character. A young, two-tailed fox namedd Miles Prower or "Tails" that follows Sonic around helping him in need to defeat Dr.Robotnik. And he can fly!
You can choose to be Sonic while Tails follows you, Sonic by himself or even tails by himself! Though he isn't as fast as Sonic, and when you play as Tails you can't fly.
The graphics are updated, but they ain't "3D...not realistic" though whingers cry. Its a Sega MegaDrive game, back then in the 1980's not many games were 3D. There, I hope they stopped whinging.
Dr.Robotnik has new ideas of being a boss, though he is easy at the start...he gets harder and harder. But I'm not spoiling of what the biggest challenged he made to Sonic at the end,..that's for you to find out! All I'm saying that is Robotnik wants to get all 7 Chaos Emeralds (yes, one extra one from the six in Sonic 1!) to power his Death Egg. Remind you of anything? No, okay then let's move on.
If you have a copy of Sonic & Knuckles, you can lock-on Sonic 2 on the top, and you can play as Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic 2! He's an okay runner, higher jumper and can glide!
This game is also two player, where one player is Tails, another is Sonic, in a split screen race tot he end of the Zone!
That is my review. I hope you enjoyed it.
