Review : Synopsis by Brett Alan Weiss Sonic the Hedgehog 2 follows in the same speedy footsteps as its well-regarded predecessor, Sonic the Hedgehog. Once again, players run, jump, and spin the blue hedgehog through a bizarre world of metal robots created by Dr. Robotnik, avoiding obstacles, trouncing enemies, and collecting rings and the elusive Chaos Emeralds (earning all seven emeralds turns Sonic into Super Sonic). While the basic action remains essentially the same, the levels are longer, the colors are brighter and more varied, all the zones are new, and the game introduces a new character: Tails the fox. In the standard game, Tails simply follows along, helping collect rings and defeating the occasional enemy, but he is a playable character in the special two-player split-screen race mode. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 also introduces a new move (the Spin Dash) and a new special stage: a challenging, pseudo-3D race through tubes to collect rings. Screenshots Features Spin, jump, and roll at breakneck speeds through 11 all-new zones Two-player mode with new playable character Tails Collect rings and Chaos Emeralds to defeat the evil Dr. Robotnik Similar Games Sonic the Hedgehog Sega of America, Inc. Sonic & Knuckles Sega of America, Inc. Extra Creditsby Jonathan Sutyak The original Sonic the Hedgehog was a groundbreaking game as it took the Genesis to another level. Moving at very fast speeds, the original became known as the fastest home console game. Sonic the Hedgehog became an instant hit launching its titular character into the star role of Sega's company mascot. Sonic the Hedgehog 2's design looks and plays very much like its predecessor. Influences from the original can be found throughout the sequel, from level design to characters. The primary changes are the introduction of Tails and a two-player mode.
