Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Sega master System) Review.
Who hasn't played Sonic 2? It's one of the most famous games of the Sega's pet... It contains all the things for make it the best game of the saga: Speed (of course), Many Zones (in comparsion with Sonic 1) and a 2-player mode. Great game... But, what about his 8-bit counterpart for the Game Gear and Master System? Well, it's not the same thing. Pretty different of his 16-bits sister... But, The game is still great? Let's see...

Story: Robotnik, After his defeat in the previous game, is back, and he's searching for the Chaos Emeralds... Of course, with the objective of Take control of the World. And, to take revange of Sonic for ruining his plans at the 1st. game, he kidnapps Sonic's best friend: Tails. Now Sonic must find the Emeralds before Robotnik, rescue Tails and stop the Evil Doctor's plans again.

Typical Kidnapp cliche once again... So, Nothing important to say about this. (5/10)

Graphics: There's not many differences in the graphics in comparsion to the previous game. However, These are big when we compare them withe the Genesis/Megadrive version... Sprites are little, and the Background have less details and colors. (6/10)

Sound: Another big difference here... Music is very different of the 16-Bits version. It's even different to the music of the 1st. game... With some serious and darker songs. However, there's nothing special to say about it (Excepting that one of the songs is a 8-bit remix of the song "Sonic, You can do Anything) SFX are the same of the 1st. part... (8/10)

Addictiveness: Not a very addictive game. In fact,if you replay it will be because you didn't got the Emeralds in your previous gameplay, difficulty is another reason of the lack of addictiveness. (7/10)

Depth: Well, Sonic games doesn't have much of Depth... Just Running to the end of the Act. Some zones of this game include some Gimmicks that variate the a bit the gameplay, such as Hang Gliders, Mine Carts or Giant Bubbles... Things that variate a bit the gameplay. Not a bad detail.(6/10)

Difficulty: This game offers a pretty good challenge... An example of this is that you must fight bosses without any rings. Also, there's not Checkpoints and to play the real Final zone and battle the real Final Boss and get the real ending... You must collect all the Emeralds, which are hidden at Difficult to reach areas. So, as you see. This game has some high difficult. (8/10)

Final Rating: (8.9)

Maybe, for the eyes of the Gamer that Apreciattes games by their aspect... This is a poor quality game, But, for eyes of the gamer that apreciattes games by their Fun factor. This is a very good underrated game... a hidden jewel waiting for someone that could discover it. If you're a gamer of the 2nd. kind. You must try this game...

That's All.

Level Select

Plug a Controller Pad into Slot 2 and Hold UpperLeft+1+2 as you turn on the console. Wait for Sonic to run entirely off of the screen to plug the Controller into Slot 1. Then press 2 twice.

 This game was downright impossible to play. It was nearly impossible to see the boss at the end of the first zone on the microscopic GG screen

 Certainly an easier version than the Game Gear! You can actually see what your doing on the boss fights.

 This game is great and all. But this version is a bit harder than the others. Still, I am glad to have experienced this version. It's a OK Sonic game.
