This is one of those games and only the second game (the other being Metal Gear Solid) that i have deemed worthy of a perfect 10 on Metacritic. I'm not one to go overboard with my reviews but this is probably the greatest 2D platformer ever and a true classic that even today provides one of gamings biggest adrenaline rushes. Expand

    Obviously, this game must be rated positively. I can vaguely remember playing the original game in the past, but this was truly my first timeObviously, this game must be rated positively. I can vaguely remember playing the original game in the past, but this was truly my first time playing the game wholly. Currently, I cannot consider this a top game, though I do see why it was so popular decades ago; in fact, it is still very enjoyable. Its strongest point is probably gameplay, which is addictive (though a bit frustrating a times). The soundtrack is also very good, and the graphics fulfill their purpose. Expand

    Okay... First things first. Sonic 2 is one of the best 2D platform games of all time. It has one of the best game soundtracks of all time. IOkay... First things first. Sonic 2 is one of the best 2D platform games of all time. It has one of the best game soundtracks of all time. I personally have completed this game more times than any other video game I have ever owned. I LOVE IT!! So... Why rate it as a 1?! THE PORT IS BOTCHED!!! The controls are AWFUL! If you know & love the original, this version is pretty much unplayable. You can't even use the frickin' D-pad... I mean, COME ON!! I love Sonic, but this conversion is an insult. Expand
