    Sonic the Hedgehog 2 features all of the same aspects of the first game but includes a lot new features such as new level designs, new enemies, new boss battles and a new character. Everything that was great with the first game was expanded into this game featuring a even longer and more enjoyable experience. You will enjoy this incredible classic.

    This 16-bit classic is one of the best video games ever contrived. Period. The gameplay, soundtrack, level design and overall feel of this title was absolutely superb. Heck, It might be the best platformer in that genre made. It's just THAT good.

My only worry was that you couldn't play as my favourite character in the entire franchise Tales, as he is delegated to background duties until the third game. Either way I would recommend 'Sonic the Hedgehog 2' to anyone who enjoys a fast-paced, racing style experience in a sitting. Play. It. Now!… Expand

    The second part of the blue hedgehog's adventures came back with more and better than its first installment. More polished mechanics, like being able to throw yourself into a ball and more levels to play through. You can see that the game is more worked than in its first part. SEGA did the rest in the continuation of its great success. It's a masterpiece, no doubt, but I'm still more fondThe second part of the blue hedgehog's adventures came back with more and better than its first installment.

    Better than Sonic 1 for sure! One of the only examples of a game that’s sequel is better. Everything about Sonic 2 is better than Sonic 1. All the levels are fun to play and are not to hard but the Boss Fights are still a bit too easy for me. Better than Sonic 1

    Of all the Sonic Genesis classics, this one I've had the least experience with (I just played whatever my grandparents bought). That makes my opinion of it entirely adult, and while that makes its larger size harder to stomach because of its lack of saving, it does improve the gameplay experience of the original to a more comfortable state.

    Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a better game (not much) and more difficult than the first. It has more diversity of levels and game design. The addition of Super Sonic is very nice. The music continues kind of bad(opinion). And the history doesn't matter again.

    One of Sonic's classic platformer games. For some reason I could not leave. I think I really like retro games.

    Sonic 2 improves on Sonic 1 by taking the momentum mechanics a step further. Not only does it feel nicer to control Sonic and Tails, but you can mess around with Tails in some pretty fun ways, and the momentum being a key focus of the level design resulted in the greatest Sonic move of all time; the Spin Dash.

    A pesar de seguir en las mismas líneas de su predecesor e incorporar cosas nuevas, creo que no llegó al mismo nivel de diseño que su entrega anterior.
    Nota Final: 7.9

But Holding D pad Down And Mashing The Jump Button He Spindashes. Tails Can Fly But Not In The Real Game (wait till S3&K for that one) Only In Trailers and when you die he flys back up. If You Collect 50 Rings And Go to a Checkpoint It Takes You to a special stage where if you collect enough rings you Get a chaos emerald. Unlike in sonic 1 If you collect 'em all You get a reward. SUPER SONIC! Collect 50 Rings and Jump And Go Super. He's Golden, Runs 5 times faster, But Every second you use him he take 1 ring so be sure to collect rings. The Stages are So Good. Casino, Caves, Green Hills, And So Much More. This Game is So Good. 8/10… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Este jogo não merece tanto amor como ele tem, o jogo é demasiado longo para uma pessoa simplesmente jogar de uma vez só, e isso não é um problema com sonic 3 e knuckles porque naquele jogo dava para salvar o teu progresso Metropolis zone é muito chato sendo que tem 3 atos e todas as outras fases no jogo têm 2, os inimigos são postos em locais onde tu não tens tempo para reagir e se tu morreres tu sentes que a culpa não tua, e que a culpa é dos inimigos e das fases serem basicamente labirintos que demorem 7 minutos para terminar
    Para resumir Metropolis zone em 4 palavras-Satanás encorporado em fase.    … Expand
