    В этот раз игра протянула гораздо больше, прежде чем через чур усложниться.

    Stereoscopic effects are put to good use but look a little wonky in the bonus areas. Very happy to see save states and level select in this re-release.
    As for Sonic 2 itself, nice graphics and great music. I really dislike how long it takes to gain speed - especially if you're going up hill, in which case, resist the urge to jump!

    As for Sonic 2 itself, nice graphics and great music. I really dislike how long it takes to gain speed - especially if you're going up hill, in which case, resist the urge to jump! Despite the all the marketing back in the '90s, it's actually pretty hard to go fast for long before slamming into an enemy and loosing all that precious momentum. I eventually found the game more fun after beating it and going back to look for secrets and improve my proficiency.
    Hard to believe this was supposed to be Sega's Mario-killer. It's got nothing on Super Mario World!    … Expand

    This line of 3D Classics has been a great tribute to retro gaming, so far serving up 3D enhanced versions of some of the finest titles in SEGA's large catalogue of wonderful games, and, naturally, gives new fans a try at discovering them for the first time.

    3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is quite simply the greatest conversion that could be done with Sega's magnificent platformer. The best Sonic game of all time lost none of its appeal during its journey to the 3DS and is still as delightful to play as it was over 20 years ago.

    M2 has once again produced a commendable presentation of a classic for the 3DS with 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It continues to be a fun game after all these years (and way better than whatever Sega's been churning out with the blue guy the last couple of years), and the 3D conversion is simply fantastic. Vintage Sega fans – and new players as well – shouldn't miss this gem.
