Sonic is back from the past and didn’t need a Delorian to do it in this revival of the second Sonic platformer. If speed, industrial quantities of gold rings, egg-shaped supervillains and more speed or your thing then Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the title for you.
After this week's horrifying Sonic trailer, let's look back on some brighter times.
I really love Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic Spinball on Genesis and Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood on DS.
Best = Sonic Adventure 2.
Games that just miss the top spot = Heroes, SA1, Generations, Colours, Mania, Sonic 2
Other Very Good Games = Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic CD, Mean Bean Machine.
Decent, but not great = Sonic 4 pt 1&2, 3D Blast, Sonic 1, Shadow, Black Knight, Secret Rings, Advance 1,2,3.
Underrated = Shuffle, Chronicles, Lost World
Missed opportunity = Sonic 06, Sonic Unleashed (Warehog, why?) Sonic Forces
Bad = Fighters and Boom games.
Racers = Not really a racing game fan, the All-Stars racing games can be fun though.
You know that the 90's had the best music, and Sonic brought you the best of the best.

The idea where I thought I would compare the first levels of every big Sonic game but things get out of hand. After all, it’s not like the other levels are going to be better.
Finally! Was waiting to see people's opinion on this one before grabbing it.
5 out of 5 all day
This is the game that came with my Genesis II back in the day. I played it almost as much as 3. Still holds up well against 2D Sonic games that came after it.
