    The best got better

    Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is more fast pas game with the 1st Sonic. What makes it more fast pas is the speedy spin dash (sorry if that not the name of that move). This game also introduces us to Tails, a hedgehog with 2 tails that can spin fast and he can fly for around 10 to 15 seconds. The bonus levels got moved from the end of the level where you get a certain number of rings there would be a huge ring. Now the bonus in at the check points, the same way the last bonus level work but a ring will pop up and u jump though it. In the bonus level you run in a tube trying to collect a number of rings. You move right or left collect and dodging mines, if you hit Sonic hits a mine all the ring he collected are lost and the same with Tails if he hits it. If you collect all the ring you need you get a emerald. But there’s a bad thing about going a Bonus level, you lose all the ring you had before you went to the bonus level. That is why I gave game play a 9. The graphics are more clearer then the 1st. In the bonus levels there is more of a 3D look to it. The sound is just the same as 1st. So in all this is a great game with one problem. But if you can over look it would be perfect.

You ...

      This was the big one. Sonic the Hedgehog two was a LARGE part of my childhood. I remember when we first got a Genesis, and me and me brother would play it constantly, and then later on...we would still play it constantly with Super Sonic. This game has so much variety...such *click* to it you know? This game had such a hype for this game when it was released, because as you will already know, the first Sonic the Hedgehog game had such critical acclaim, that this one was waited on by...ALOT of pe...
