Review taken from Killmoderation.
Flashback to a young 7-8 year old Ace. I recently gave away my NES or I think I gave it away. Parents might have sold it or my causins stole it. Anyway I come home to find my NES gone and replaced with this strange black system. With a game box next to it.
That system was the Genesis and the game was Sonic 2. The game that will change my life forever.. well not really but you get me. I inserted it and turned it on (lolz) I was amazed at the graphics and not only the look but noticed my character was faster. Not like you're holding b running Mario but something much better FASTER! SUPER FAST! That was my first rape at the hands of Sonic. And it never ended. >_>
Story: 9/10
You know it and if you don't get the fuck out of this review because I hate you. Dr. Robotnik/ Eggman. I don't know why the general public calls him eggman now. Is trying to take over the world, and is turning the little critters of mobius into robotic monsters. Only Sonic and his buddy tales And Knuckles if you baught Sonic and knuckles cartridge can stop him. You gather rings and collect emeralds in hopes of turning "Super Sonic" homage to Dragon Ball Z.
Graphics:10/10 at the time.
I always loved the graphics for this game. They were amazing like i said back in the flashback. IMO better than any SNES Mario game. Most notably the special stages were 3d behind sonic. You had to beat all 7 in order to go super sonic. And I always enjoyed them. The chemical plant and Metropolis Zones were stunning.
Sound: 10
The music in Sonic 2 was the best music in any game. Chemical plant, The Mystic cave, Casino Knight and Metropolis zones are most notable. Thje sound of gathering rings stays in the back of everyones mind. The greatest maybe Robotniks theme. dun dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun before you face him adds to the moment and feels absolutly epic. Lastly the sound of drowning in the countdown from 5 scared the shit out of thousands of kids. Stay out of the water!
Gameplay: 10
Man here we go. Sonic at his prime. I consider this to be the fastest Sonic game of all. If you think Sonic 3 is faster then.. *smacks* WTF is wrong with you? Thats all I gotta say. The best platformer of all time introduced one staple to the series. The spindash. The spindash does everything in this game from increasing speed to getting out of holes, increasing your jump length and hieght to killing bosses. The added speed and spindash make this game a race against the clock replay value in you trying to get a better time.
Alot of loops and boosters keep the momentum going. I can never get sick of it. Even when you die it stays in your head what went wrong and its hard to fuck it up next time. Tails also follows behind you IF YOU CHOOSE he does tend to mess you up from time to time. But does provide comedy relief in that he tends to die alot. I have a variety of ways of killing him and it never gets old. Tails is the kenny of Sonic 2. And I love it because I'm evil
Conclusion:
Sonic 2 is the best Sonic game and my favorite game of all time. I play it all the time regularly to this day. So thats roughly 13 years of replay value. If you have an emulator go search for the long version. It has Wood Zone, Dust hill zone, Genocide city and hidden palace zone with new enemies. So yea go play it. NOW
