Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Classic

Pick your poison. If you get the free version, there's annoying pop up ads between levels. Like I can't even pause the game without getting an ad. If you get the paid version, it hasn't been updated since 2015, and won't scale properly when forcing full screen as a result. The controls and everything else work great. Christian Whitehead deserves all the profit earned for this incredible version of the classic Sonic games, but the ads are annoying.

Besides the ads, I genuinely can't think of a single negative aspect about this port. It controls extremely well for mobile standards, it has a save feature and multiple save files, it's in wide screen and improved the special stages, there's multiple options for how to play, the added modes are neat, and I mean... Come on! It's Sonic The freakin' Hedgehog 2! If you like old school games but don't have the consoles to play, this game and the port of the first game are easy recommendations.

It's pretty good(well, for a game made by Sega, anyways). Just a few things. One: the special stages seem too slippery. Two: perhaps you could add more abilities(for example, maybe the drop dash? That would be very nice.) Three: maybe just a few less ads. Sure it's the free version, meaning it would have ads, but GEEZ! It doesn't need this many!

Again like the first game and CD, it's great to play the original games on mobile, but of course this game has SOME flaws, and those flaws come from the special stages. I haven't played the whole game but what is stopping me is playing the special stages to get the good ending first try. The controls aren't the best and when turning its either too slow or too fast, and playing with tails is just annoying . Its a great game, but special stages need to be fixed to help maneuver with the speed.

Classic game if meant to be played single player. Its awesome to being it to mobile. However, i find the joy of the 2p versus. As fun as it is, it is a big upset as well. Network stability between players is unreliable. You finish 1 stage in lets say a 3 stage game, you play one game and find out the game connection was lost. Please fix the 2p versus mode. I will gladly give 5 stars when it becomes more stable.

Love this game! Exactly how I remember it. Only problem is it keeps crashing and I can not complete the current level I'm on. It also resets the level so its always starting back to square 1 even after hitting a checkpoint. Please fix this and I definitely will up my rating

The classic platforming speedrun experience, back and better than ever. Controls are smooth and responsive, the extra features are tons of fun, and the physic engine and improved special stages are spectacular. I did purchase the "Remove In-game ads," so I can't say how common they are. But the game itself is perfect. I did encounter one minor problem; Defeating the final boss causes the game to crash, and the end credits do not play. If not for that minor glitch, I would rate this game a 5/5.

This is the definitive way to play Sonic 2. The wider screen makes the game much easier, and additions like Hidden Palace Zone being finished and playable, Tails having the ability to fly, and making Knuckles playable are all great bonuses. I do, however, have to criticize the abundance of ads. Sure, almost any mobile game has them, but they're all over the place in the menus, taking up most of the screen. Even with that however, this is a great port. Nice job, Taxman!

Faithful to the Genesis/MegaDrive original but with plenty of bonus features and quality of life improvements! By far the definitive official way to play Sonic 2! The only gripe I have is that you have to be online. It makes sense for the free version (so you can't just turn off your WiFi to get rid of ads), but it does not for when you remove the ads. This isn't enough to lower my score though, as this is an issue with the Sega Forever line-up as a whole.

This is one of the best Sonic games I've ever played and honestly one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played. There's so much replayability. This version of the game upgrades the framerate and does so really well, but the problem with this version is the controls on touch screen aren't that good on normal stages. The game works way better with a controller. Although the touch screen controls work really well in the special stages, something this version of the game improved on massively.
