    Sonic the Hedgehog 2!

    Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the most famous video games of all time! The characters, the jumping, the power-ups, and the sure thrill of adventure makes this entire series a fun non-stop playing time! Below is a brief look how I think the game is!

    Game Play: The game play is very good. There is really basic controls here and is easy to perform. Novice gamers should have a good time here!

    Graphics: The graphics are wonderful. The backgrounds are really beautiful!

    Difficulty: The game is easy but as it goes on you''s find out that it will become more difficult!

    Music: Just fantastic catchy tunes through out the game! In My opinion its some of the best music ever in a video game!

    Sound: The sound is great. Nuff said!

    Overall: I have always loved Sonic the Hedgehog! If you like excellent adventure games then I strongly recommend you play this game!

    To purchase this video game check out Amazon.com!

    The Game that introduce me to Sonic

    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

    Look out! Here comes Sonic 2!

    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.

    Sonic is back, and he has brought along a friend

    Sonic the Hedgehog is back and he has brought along a friend with him. A Fox named Tails (Known as his real name Miles which Tails hates as it said in the series of Sonic) Dr Robotnik has stolen the Chaos Emraids again, now Sonic and Tails must begin their journey to get them back, with new levels and also a new move which is the sppeding move. This helps Sonic and Tails go faster. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is the game with can bring you more fun, and more excitement.

    A classic.

    It was an incredibly innovative game and has held onto a cult status for a reason. This game was what really kicked off the competitiveness between Sega and Nintendo -- Sega had Sonic the Hedgehog, and Nintendo had their Italian plumber Mario.

    Whether or not you're a big fan of platformers, this entry is a must-play for any gamer. Bucket-list game.

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The best selling Sega Game in the company's history.
    • Goofs
      On Emerald Hill Zone Act 2 when facing Dr. Robotnik, Robotnik enters the scene with a Helicopter that grafts onto a 4-wheeled unit with a drill in front. When the drill unit goes past Sonic, he is unaffected, however when Robotnik gets onto it with the helicopter, he is.
    • Crazy credits
      The ending credits vary depending on how many Chaos Emeralds you collected throughout the game:
      • If you collected all 7 Emeralds, Sonic transforms into Super Sonic and flies and poses, while Dr Robotnik will be seen standing angrily.
      • If you didn't collect them all, Sonic jumps off the "Sonic F" plane and poses, while Robotnik will be happily juggling the Emeralds you missed.
    • Alternate versions
      The Master System version which was only sold in Europe and Latin America had a different intro and boss music, a larger view of screen, the Under Ground boss was easier (the balls dropped slower and not randomly), and a minor change in Green Hills Zone. Also there are two versions of this one, one has a bug in Gimmick Mountain Zone that was fixed in the other one.
