Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Classic Reviews

You’ve been taking all my money number one and now it’s gonna take more money by my making me pay for all these stupid ads and I don’t like the ads you made me pay for the ads and I just want a smooth animation, gameplay and number like I mean it’s better off with the real game and you don’t make anything better. I just have to wait here for all your ads and I don’t want none of the ads don’t look at me like I’m crazy. Sonic2 is better than you and then this iPhone sonic to Dan and no more no more I just don’t want no more. And I don’t play this game anymore and like most of it I’m never playing again never just never. And I never want to see it again. A new making me every time look at your stupid ad it’s all good if I was your dad, I’ll give you a spanking in sonic two is better than this thing where we should call it no more of this no more I don’t wanna say no more as an excuse. If you look like this, please please please please read it and don’t skip this one because they’re not giving out this one.

Normally I’m okay with ads... when they come after a level or at a stopping/intermission point, like in the original game. But when they come in the middle of GAMEPLAY? That’s ridiculous! Sometimes they even come back-to-back, and once I even got an ad ON TOP OF AN AD! (Yes, i know you can buy the ad-free version, but you shouldn’t have to BUY smooth gameplay!) As an example, during a special stage (in Emerald Hill) I got FIVE ADS right next to each other. FIVE! The gameplay itself is excellent, which is why it’s rated three stars by me, but the ads are the main problem. Please fix this; I would say maybe after each act, but definitely not in the middle of playing the game. As an added request, make the game offline-playable, and I would definitely rate it five stars.

Edit: I LITERALLY CAN’T PLAY THE GAME. The thing is, when you get an ad that opens into an internet tab, it pauses the game. When you unpause, it gives you a video ad. Then a new tab ad opens in the middle of the video ad and pauses the game, you unpause, a video ad plays, then a new tab opens in the video ad, etc. The game is unplayable, unless your idea of playing is advancing two frames in between constantly playing ads, and for that, I’m wishing there was a zero-star option.

I am a lucky user who has had Sonic 2 and 1 purchased even when the games were emulated. Then, something amazing happened in 2013. These great games were remade, filled to the brim with features! However, the Sonic 1, 2, and CD remakes took a dark turn in the form of “SEGA Forever.” There are three types of ads in Sonic 2. One when you click on “PLAY GAME,” one between Acts, and one when you...resume the game. SEGA, if you wanna have ads, maybe you can add a mode where the game screen is shrunk a little, but it leaves room for ad banners. And I mean those short rectangular ads. Personally, I’m fine with my Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Gems Collection discs. And the thing I’m MOST bothered about, I couldn’t restore my precious Sonic 1 purchase. On a side note, SEGA is kinda lying to us. When you “restore the purchase” on Sonic CD (which I didn’t do), there’s still a little Sonic Forces ad in the menu. Just buy a GameCube, PS3, or XBOX 360, guys...I guess this review wasn’t COMPLETELY accurate to my opinion, but hey, you gotta say something!
(Note: pls fix mania debug it shouldn’t be this limiting i want more tails/knuckles abuse options)

Usually whenever I play this with ads it’s ok I don’t mind advertisements at all, but when ever adds are forcefully popping up at you DURING GAMEPLAY. Then that’s a problem. whoever’s the idiot at SEGA and always wanted the user to play with ads on the Taxman and Stealth ports of the games needs to have a talk with me. Because this ain’t right no one else needs to be put in the same place I was actually going through and I just turn wifi off. but what happens whenever WiFi or cellular data it’s turned off? that’s right A PROMPT PLAYS TELLING YOU TO TURN ON WIFI AND CELLULAR DATA. Meaning it’s required you to actually do this in order to deliver ads to the user playing. Luckily there’s no zero stars function in SonicTheHedgehog2Classic Store so I’ll give the ports a 1/10 because of this stupid advertisement system.

Until the day this is fixed or at least ad free WITHOUT THE NEED TO PAY ACTUAL INGAME (or INAPP) MONEY FOR THIS APPLICATION I WONT PLAY IT AGAIN ANYTIME SOON BECAUSE I MAY HAVE AN EPIPHANY AND EMULATE THE ORIGINAL GAME MYSLEF and no one likes me doing that am I right SAKURAI?

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 works great. Sonic 2 remains one of the best games ever made for fans of classic Sega games. The best part of the game is Tails can fly! This version contains the original game and it allows players to choose specific levels they want to play once they have completed the main game. However, the Chaos Emeralds remain harder to obtain in comparison to Sonic 1. While the amount of ads can be overwhelming, the ads can also be helpful. For example, a player could be near the end of a level or in the middle of a boss fight and make a mistake… POOF! An ad appears that gives the player another chance without the player having to start all over! The controls; however, can sometimes be glitchy. Some of the controller glitches can be overcome by playing as Tails. Tails’ ability to fly can help players correct mistakes that may be caused by controller glitches.

Listen, I absolutely love Sonic 2 and sonic one isn’t as good but still great but that’s besides the point I got the Sonic 1, mobile port, and the sonic CD mobile port and they were awesome but here’s the thing they weren’t awesome because of the new things that that was added. It was awesome because of the game that they were adopting was already awesome not to say that the features are bad I like them, but the truth best facts . about the game is the actual gameplay, but here is why I gave it for, and not five. The ads are everywhere there’s no escaping them. I had this problem in Sonic 1 and CD. There are so many ads that honestly it ruins the experience for me not completely, but mostly the ads are so infuriating and the reason I don’t just don’t just get the atlas version is because it cost money. It is infuriating how much as you have to sit through but overall good game.

Sonic 2 is one of the best Sonic games out there, alongside 3&K, Adventure 1 & 2, Unleashed, Generations and even… Sonic R. Fun zones that focus more on speed than precise platforming, unlike Sonic 1. The Christian Whitehead remakes of 1, 2 and CD make these games even better, putting them in widescreen, fixing the special stages so you can actually see ahead of you. (I don’t mind the Genesis, as someone who’s first gotten all of the Emeralds on Genesis, I had to learn where all the bombs and rings are, but this… this is better.) Only problem with the game ITSELF is that 1 and 2 are locked behind mobile devices with tiny screen and touch controls.

Now that I’m talking about the game itself, time to talk about my main gripe. SEGA, WHY SO MANY ADS? I get you need to make money from your products and having a completely adless experience doesn’t really insensitive anyone to pay for any other version of Sonic 2 but could you cool a bit on the ads? Maybe once you beat a zone or something? I can’t exit the pause menu without trying to be sold something. Same problem goes for Sonic 1 and CD. Chill on the ads Sega.

The classic sonic games have to be one of my favorite games. When I’m usually in a public space, I usually boot this or another sonic game just to kill time. And I do find them very enjoyable. The level designs in this one specifically as well as the fast paced action and even the special stages keep me enjoyed with the game. I also loved the selection of characters you could play as in this game. I was able to complete the game with all chaos emeralds and with all characters.

However the one problem that ruins the experience with this game are the ads. If you pause or unpause the game you have to go through an ad. The same goes for the Home Screen, as well as when you finish an act. I would’ve given them a 5 star if they didn’t include so many ads. Of course there is an option to pay $1.99 to remove ads. But I’m not looking to pay 1.99 for a game that I will probably delete and then months later re-install.

With that being said, the Sonic 2 mobile port is an amazing package for anyone who loves to game on the go.

Like everyone else sonic 2 is awesome it’s brings me back in my childhood because I grew up with sonic the levels are great tails is my favorite character knuckles is also and with sonic too but there are 1 problem in this game so please fix I think it’s a bug so I had 4 chaos emeralds and then I went to eat because I was hungry and I was playing in the save mode because who would play no save mode anyways when I cam back from eating I come to see the world I saved has been deleted I lost all my data I wanted to be super sonic badly so when I saw this I was mad and confused because I was playing save mode and when it was deleted that mean that I a 10 year boy had to do all of it again so please fix the bug I am still mad sad and confused that this so please fix this sega.

The classic Sonic series was probably one of the first sets of games I've played, and they're probably why I love retro games. The Christian Whitehead ports for iOS are wonderful, and I'm glad to have the old Sonic games on my iPad. I hate it, however, when Sega adds unnecessary garbage like Sega Forever to their games. The mobile port of Sonic 2 was just as great as the original with controls if not better. Since that Sega Forever update, the controls just broke. The d-pad would have a delay of 1-5 seconds before either changing directions or resetting when I let go. The jump button no longer works half of the time, forcing me to die over and over. Even the momentum came off as a bit broken. This makes the whole game nearly unplayable. Nobody likes losing control in a game, and neither do I. The ad issue was moot to me because I paid three dollars before the garbage Sega Forever update. This is why you don't let Sega mess with Classic Sonic. I'm not willing to buy another one of your ports or games unless I know for a FACT that someone more responsible is behind the controls. Get rid of the update! Go back to when it was run by Chris Whitehead. Only then will I put 5 stars, you money-hungry, thick headed, fools.

You ever get nostalgia from playing a game that was released before you were born? That you’ve literally never played before but you know your parents have? That’s this game.
So yeah, since the Sonic movie released, I’ve been playing all these app version remakes. I think they did a really good job converting the controls to mobile, and the video quality is great too. I dunno, I’m not some great reviewer dude, I just wanted to post something here lol. Anyway, I also came here to report a couple problems:
1. Because knuckles’ jump is shorter, you can’t damage the eggman bot from the front in the final boss. Of course, you can hit him from the back, but I don’t think that was what you are intended to do.
2. Tails won’t turn into super tails. He just keeps flying. No matter how many times I double tap, it won’t work. And yes, I had enough rings, but for some reason nothing works.
Anyway, aside from obvious ads, it’s a great game. Get it. Nothing much else to say. Ok bye

I’ve love sonic the hedgehog
And played his games ever since I was eight.
So I love this game and everything it has to offer but there is one problem when I try to access debug mode by clicking no save selecting sonic and tails clicking the letters of Sega hearing a ring sound and clicking the start menu with two fingers it starts a normal game and doesn’t bring me to the level select unless you have changed the way you do it this glitch needs to be fixed

UPDATE: PLEASE FIX!!!!!!! there was an update that came out not too long ago and debug level select is still broken!!! I click no save I select a character click sega letters in order I tap the screen with two fingers and it brings me to a normal level this is really annoying please fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you have removed it update the game so that it’s back if you change the way you do it please let us know somehow!

This is seriously an amazing port of the Sonic 2 game. So good that I will buy the ad free version once I'm allowed to (yeah pretty lame of me to admit). However, in the meantime, there's a bug (or something?) that's bothering me a bit... I don't know if I'm just uninformed about these types of things but whenever some ads play the sound goes out for the whole game?? That's not all, sometimes after the ad plays the screen just goes black (or on worst occasions, an ad is supposed to pop up and it just appears black). Of course I could just restart SonicTheHedgehog2Classic , however, with the frequency of these ads showing, I never know when the glitches (?) are about to occur. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the ads when I know I'm playing such a good game for free. However, I do mind when they actually affect my gameplay experience this greatly. Then again I almost never invest so much time in an app so I'm new to this kind of thing I guess. I don't know but I just thought I'd drop this by.

Now yes, this is a really good port of sonic 2, as well as for sonic cd and sonic 1, the sonic 1 and this version have a slight issue. See, when ever I wanna go into debug mode and tap the “Rings” to go to debug mode, it sends me to the pause menu. Wich is annoying, considering the fact, that if you didn’t pay for now ads, you’ll get ads when ever you try to resume the game. Making debug mode practically pointless to use if you didn’t pay for the no ads. And it’s crazy, because this never used to happen. When I got this game back in 2017, this never happened. Now in 2022, this is happening to me. If this is a bug, please fix, well if it is, I don’t understand why you didn’t hear if it sooner or later. Anyways, great port, and that’s my issue. I’m pretty sure this is the same for sonic 1 too, I’m not sure about cd though, (I mean, that never gets updated lol) it would mean a lot if you fixed this little thing, anyways, later. Reeses, pceses.

There’s not much really to say, it’s sonic 2 with better sprites and visuals, I love it! But..there is one thing I must address, and that is: THE ADS. These things are everywhere, from when you enter a special stage, when you boot up the game, and EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU RESUME THE GAME AFTER PAUSING, THERES AN AD! But I get it, this is a free port and I can pay to have them removed, but, since I don’t have that money, I’m forced to watch 20 seconds of horrible gameplay. That’s not even the worst of it, there is this weird glitch that happens when you start up the game and go to your save files, the game acts like it’s going to give you an ad, but the screen just goes black, and it stays like that until you exit and restart SonicTheHedgehog2Classic , it also happens when I pause and resume the game, so if I grab 3 Chaos emeralds in a stage and pause my game, I’m basically gambling my emeralds. I do not hate this game, and I get why they have to put ads in there, but if you could fix that black screen of death, that would be great! 4.8/5.0

While the game itself does play well and has all kinds of great bug fixes from the originals, alongside the multiplayer, character choices, and time attack stuff, the remastered trilogy haven’t been the best optimized for the increased screen retail ever since the iPhone X released. For example, the background elements in certain stages (i.e. the Scaffolding in Chemical Plant) appear further in near where the edge of the screen used to be on older phones rather than where it is now, and the characters now also no longer completely leave the edge of the screen after clearing Act 1 of a stage. These issues with the change in aspect ratio happens with some water surfaces in 1 , and has seemingly caused the save file text in CD to overlap itself. What we have now are certainly the best way to play these games, it’s just that to some extent even the remasters as they are now are beginning to show their age. Overall, it would be cool to see these issues fixed, but it’s not as if it’s literally unplayable as it is now.

I love the classic sonic series and this game HAS to be my favorite, I still remover when I was young I played this game on the Xbox 360 me and my brother had, I loved being Tails and I liked the fact that there was even a 2 player mode (BTW can we get some of that good 2 player in SonicTheHedgehog2Classic) But here is the catch, when I bought this it was LITTERED with adds, I was thinking “I PAID FOR A GAME WITH ADDS AND I NEED TO SPEND MORE MONEY TO GET RID OF THEM!!!!!” Yeah I thought I was scammed, so I still played the game and then when I was about to defeat the final boss and I had no rings and 1 life left,6 ADDS IN A ROW BABY, THEN IT SENT ME TO AN INTERNET TAB, THAT PAUSED MY GAME AND WHEN I COULD FINALLY PLAY AGAIN, BOOM I DIED so yeah Sega please lower the price of removing adds please to make the experience for the player better for the player, we don’t want another Electronic Arts that litters the game with micro transactions and paying to rid of things that shouldn’t be in the game in the first place, Thank You.

I think SonicTheHedgehog2Classic is absolutely great. But the chaos emeralds are really hard to get. Which is not an error. I do like that the cheat codes have not been removed. The debug one does work, but you can’t use it because of the lack of buttons. The one you can actually use is the Super Sonic one. (In no save mode only) When the game starts, after sonic runs around, hit the letters in this order: S-E-G-A (you will hear a ring sound). When the character(s) show up and the text at the bottom shows up, swipe up from the bottom of the screen with two fingers. The level select will show up. Go down to the sound test and play these sound tests in this order: 4-1-2-6. You will hear the sound of Sonic getting a chaos emerald. Proceed to play a level. In the level collect 50 rings, then jump, while in the air, hit the jump button again, and you will become Super Sonic, you have to constantly collect rings to stay super.

This is a great game but I have a suggestion to share with y’all. 1 (custom layouts) Could we make custom layouts like change color palettes, add pieces of other zones together, and change the zone name. That would be a great feature to have in the game. Another suggestion is actually making your custom bosses and characters. You can edit sprites like Sonic for example and save them in the game. 2 (custom ui) Would it be possible to make other options with switches and sliders? That would be a big change soon. Hope to see these features soon.❤️ Also I keep getting bombarded by ads because those are the worst and the final boss=harder to beat and also game crashes at startup pls fix. Also make it so when you do something for instance grabbing rings, the instruments cut out for a brief amount of time. Also make the hi hat sounds sound like they are in the genesis version.

I’ve played this game long enough and i have seen zero ads. Also there are cheats idiots. When sonic runs and the game says SEGA tap the letters in the order of S-E-G-A twice. When sonic and tails pop up, tap both of them with ur fingers. Now you are in the level select screen. Go to sound test and figure out the cheat codes yourself. There is about 5+ codes. One of them unlocks a whole new special stage and another one unlocks a new level. The reason it’s 4 starts is because the online function doesn’t work anymore. Also I love that you can play as knuckles and tails lol. If you press 0 in the sound test 3 times rapidly, you can unlock the game setting where you can activate the element shields and have certain character combinations. epic game. Also this costed nothing when I downloaded it.

Special stages as we know are hard, but sonic 2 is the bane of our lives for one reason alone. No frames that you're invincible, so you can hit over and over again and lose all your rings. Also I'm pretty sure that the game gets unreasonable harder when you reach oil ocean zone. Let's have blue super sonic in reverse. so all you gotta do is max the ring count in debug mode and then destroy a bunch of life 📦. Sega please don't patch this it's not a big deal. Also this glitch is in sonic 1. iOS.

Sega please show this letter to Christian Whitehead.

Dear CW
Remember 2 years ago how you showed us your beta sonic 3 and knuckles port, but the project down for some reason. Well I think you can make S3&K IOS! Your fans of Sonic Retro can, I think you can... SO YOU CAN!!!! So get to it.

From Matthew Wong

Breaking News. Special stage 8 was found in this game yesterday. I found out that in the level selection if you press 7 then 8 you will go there.

If your like me you like to spin dash off screen after you hit the goal post. Well for some reason in Hilltop Zone act 1 of you spindash off screen Sonic will get stuck as there is a slope which has a sonic one like design.

Seriously this game is so fun I love it it’s such a successor to sonic one I think it’s one of the best tutti sonic game although I can’t have sonic freebie because even get it seriously I just really love this game even a sonic freeze better I don’t care of this game is amazing I love the new character tails are kind of new story in the graphics in general and I really like the new sonic designs on the sonic one one I really I don’t really like the sonic one design but the sonic redesign is by far the best classic sonic design off of the designs I’m just gonna say this game is very fun including tails the music slaps everything and literally all of my bones that is so good I love it so much you have to play this game it’s awesome and that really cool cut scene at the end it’s really cool and it has some and it is super sonic up all the golden invincible version of sonic it is amazing just get all seven chaos emeralds and 50 rings boom you are invincible I love this game now go and play it now!

I love this game! It’s just like the real thing! I love playing as Knuckles and being able to leap and climb walls. And I love two-player mode when Tails just follows you around. But here’s the thing… I CAN’T FINISH THE GAME. So on Chemical Plant Zone 2, the boss is Robotnik in an airplane or whatever. And the platforms are rotating 24/7! It take GRADUATE SKILL to defeat him. And I’ve played this about 78 times and I still haven’t beat him! I’d either get sent into the open field below, or Robotnik would paint me because I try to avoid the rotating platforms, or worse, I touch the edge of the ground and DIE for some reason. YOU SHOULD REALLY FIX THAT and make it so when a brick crushes you, you die. Not when you touch the edge of a brick. This level is IMPOSSIBLE, can y’all please make it REPOSSIBLE? I’m constantly raging over this zone, and even ending up in tears, so please make this some easier or something so I can pass this thing. Other than this, I love the game! Keep making the good work and I hope you have a wonderful day!

I would HIGHLY recommend SonicTheHedgehog2Classic for the Sonic fans out there because, not only is it fun and entertaining, but it’s also challenging! If any developers are reading this, I have a suggestion. Suggestion: Can you make the last boss less challenging? It’s a bit hard for people that are on Death Egg and they still die (even if they have all chaos emeralds). The Metal Sonic/Silver Sonic can stay the same but, if you can somehow “update” the game, can you please make the last boss easier? A lot of people are asking for this and I agree with those people out there. Other than that, this game is awesome! Thanks for adding the Sonic game(s) to my life, because, it had inspired me to draw him, play on his games, and I even payed Xbox 40 DOLLARS FOR SONIC ORIGINS!! So if any of you guys want to download this game, DO IT NOW!! 👍🏼

One year after the world saw the birth of an international icon, the fastest thing alive is back at it again with a new round of ways to end the plot of Dr. Robotnik. Sonic finally encounters one who has super speed just like him, but much more smarts and much less wits than Sonic. Sonic and Tails subsequently become the best known alliance in fiction that possibly is more popular than Mario and Luigi.

Let me get my biggest point out of the way. Casino Night Zone? That is a way to treat and get rid of a gambling addiction. It is one of my favorite zones in the existence of Sonic the Hedgehog. Only in this port is the zone improved. Also, Sega is quite cunning to have Knuckles as an available character, deeming it impossible to beat Robotnik in space due to the shortened height of Knuckles' jumps. In reality, it is easy to beat Robotnik as Knuckles. Quite a tricky move by Sega there. This game is just the start of a brand new day for the blue blue. The day has yet to end. There is nothing that needs tone brought to the attention of Sega about SonicTheHedgehog2Classic besides the fact everyone did a phenomenal job making this port.

Sonic the Hedgehog 1 was cool, but Sonic the Hedgehog 2 leaves fire in its footsteps. Play the game!

I love this game because it looks like the classic game and this game. I love sonic but it’s a little bit difficult with the worthless something zone like you need to go through and you have to avoid falling off. You have to go onto like a thing that is just a bar that you don’t need to fall off of, and like I got the classic sonic one and made so many saves of sonic and tails working together. I tried so many times to make tails fly. I just tapped the button once and he did not but once I press the button twice he was flying, and then he can rip onto him to make teamwork and also I got the classic sonic one. The thing is that you should get this game if you don’t have an SMS or on an NES, but what is this game from? Is this game from the SNES? If you think it’s from the SS just tell me if it’s from the NES just tell me so I hope you enjoy this review. My reviews are super long sometimes.

1: The original sonic 2 special stages were just kinda 3D but you couldn’t see what was in front of you until I came very close to you and you had little to no reaction time but the sonic two remake special stages are real 3D and do you have lots of reaction time and can actually get chaos emeralds. 2: The original Sonic 2 does not have a save feature in the remake of Sonic 2 you have a save feature and you can play with no save and the save feature saves your chaos emeralds and it saves by act 3: in the original Sonic 2 hidden palace sound was scraped and the only way you could access it was by a cheat device in the Sonic 2 remake you can get to hidden palace zone by falling in to the infamous death hole i’ll give you a clue what the Hidden palace zone boss is 🎺 4:The characters you can play as are sonic and tails or just sonic of you are in sky chase zone wing fortress zone & death egg zone oh for her knuckles if you lock on sonic 2 mobile on with sonic and knuckles but in the sonic 2 remake you can play as just sonic in the entire game or sonic and tails or just tails or knuckles or knuckles and tails 5: in The original sonic 2 You could only play with the Sega Genesis controller in the Sonic 2 remake you can play with touch controls or a wireless controller
