NWR:
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a game of massive highs and crushing lows. Thankfully, M2 and Sega have made those lows much less frustrating in this 3D version, making this the definitive way to play this imperfect, but essential, classic.
Review for 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the 3DS.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2, regarded as the best of the bunch by many ardent fans, has now been lovingly remastered for 3DS, retaining everything that fans fell in love with back in 1992 and adding a handful of important enhancements to make the game more palatable to players today.
NL:
Aside from the throwaway multiplayer and slightly iffy Special Stages, Sonic 2 is still an absolutely fantastic game. Improving on the speed-based platforming of the original in every way, Sonic 2 remains one of the greatest sequels of the 2D age. M2 delivers once again and its usual flourishes and extra features open up the game to newcomers while still catering to the fans. The icing on this already gorgeous retro cake is the utterly awesome and timeless soundtrack, so grab some decent headphones before you jump in. Sonic fans will already have made their mind up and rushed onto the eShop to purchase, but if you haven't made the leap yet do yourself a favour and pick up 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 as soon as you can. Simply put, this is Sonic at his very best and a platforming masterclass. Now if only Sega still made them this good; after all it has been ages, right?
Sonic 2 is awesome
