Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Rated E.

Sonic The Hedgehog was the first game in which the hedgehog which we all know and love(Sonic) appears.I have never played the first one or any other Sonic game except for this one.Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is a pretty old video game.This one came out in 1992(the year I was born).But I have the game in my Sega Smash Pack 2 collection for PC and if you find it its worth buying.In this game you play as Sonic the hedgehog and along with your buddy Tails the fox you must collect gold coins and defeat Dr.Robotnik and all of his henchmen.Pretty fun video game for 1992 but now the graphics are dated.But still SOnic The Hedgehog 2 is a fun video game and I recommend it!

9/10

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 was the first game I ever played for the series. It was one of the first games I ever had played on the Sega Genesis which is still one of my favorite video game systems since I am a fan of Retro video games

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 shows how a game sequel can be as strong if not more than the original game

Looking back on it the game still proves to be fun, challenging and all around like a fine wine only gets better with age.

The Sega Genesis prove to have a classic library of video games for the system.

Graphics the game features some of the most beautiful on the system even today they are impressive to look at.

The sound with the music and sound effects remain as strong as they did in 1992. Goes to show the game effect on players

The controls are easy to pick up and master if you had play any Sonic game in the past or on the collection games you will be in good hands

The game play is very addicting however it does feature some challenging boss battles and levels that will make you go crazy

Overall if you love old school classics do yourself a favor and pick up Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and if you're lucky you might find it on Sega Mega Collection or Sonic Collection

I give Sonic The Hedgehog 2 an 9 out of 10

..this was the best selling Genesis game. There's a reason why the Mega Drive is still popular. I mean, for all the high tech, super-powered abilities of the PS3 and the Wii-U the Mega Drive had such a simple charm. The games had great graphics AND awesome playability.

I remember Xmas in 1992 when I was 12, walking around a snowy Edinburgh and seeing this game displayed proudly in all the toy/game shops. I really wanted it, I thought that it was the coolest thing. Then on Xmas morning I Santa did indeed deliver a Mega Drive. Many, many games came and went but Sonic 2 had classic tenure.

The awesome music, the graphics, the bright, summery levels, and Sonic's way-past-cool pal Tails made this game truly great. There was some controversy at the time that the 3D graphics on the special stages caused epileptic fits but I never got any more than a headache.

Games like this are what made the Mega Drive indispensable. If you still have one...hold onto it. Sonic 2 is now available on the PSN with 12 trophies. If your Mega Drive is gone I recommend that you download it. Sonic 2 is a classic for the ages that will be remembered long after the last memory of FPS trash has faded away.

Graphics A Sound A+ Gameplay A Lasting Appeal A+

This is the second installment of the Sonic series, and possibly the best Sonic game ever made.

In this story, Dr. Robotnik is up to his high jinks again, this time with more dangerous obstacles. Sonic has to stop him, but because world-wide disaster is more intense, he's going to need a little help. This is where we're introduced to Miles (a.k.a. Tails), who would stay as Sonic's sidekick from this point forward.

So intense is the Eggman's scheme, that this chapter has more ground to cover. First, there's Emerald Hill Zone (the tropical region), then Chemical Plant Zone (the outer edge of the industrial area (in the big city)), Aquatic Ruin Zone (a water-ridden garden), Casino Night Zone (the entertainment district of the city), Hill Top Zone (the mountains), Mystic Cave Zone (the underground caves, where the chaos emeralds are believed to be hidden), Oil Ocean Zone (the inner edge of the industrial park), Metropolis Zone (the center of all the industry, and Robotnik's hideout), Sky Chase Zone (the chase as Robotnik escapes in his war plane), Wing Fortress Zone (Robotnik's war plane), and finally Death Egg Zone (Robotnik's doomsday space ship). After all this, Robotnik is foiled again (up until the next chapter).

Here, most of the zones have two acts. One has three, and the last few zones have only one act. You also have to collect 7 chaos emeralds in between the mission, again to keep Robotnik from using them to his advantage(s). Collect them all, and you can transform into Super Sonic!

Sonic 2 is still relatively early in the Sonic series, and further outlined everything that would be required for all other Sonic games. I especially like the music of most of the zones; most of them are beautiful, and are somehow able to match the theme of each setting. Sonic 2 still stands as one of the most adventurous Sonic games ever made.

Next up: Sonic 3!

For every successful game, there is a sequel. But it is rare to see a sequel live up to the original. Sonic 2 accomplishes this. Like the original, you play Sonic the Hedgehog and journey through many stages and fight numerous robots. Things are different, however. Sonic now has a new move (the spin dash) and fights newer bad guys. Also, he gets a side kick: Tails, the fox with two tails. You can alternate between the two during the game. You also search out the Chaos Emeralds, but they serve a greater in this game. The graphics for this game were better than the original, but outdated by today's standards. This is an excellent game. Thumbs up.
