Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom Reviews

by DannyLeModder13

So I’m playing the event in which you destroy spikes in order to win Shadow as a playable character. I’m mid game, and suddenly the game knocks me out as if I fell into a hole yet there was nothing there and I just fell into the floor. I thought “okay things happen” and watch a 45 second ad for a free revive just for it to countdown to my revive and then freeze. So I closed the game out, not only did it NOT save the 70+ spikes I destroyed during that game, not only did it NOT save my high score during that game, it also took one of my tickets. So it forgot all of the progress I made during that game but remembered to take one of my event tickets. Either way, I then continued to try and play and move on from this glitch but now every time I play it randomly drops my rings as if I got hit by something but nothing is ever there. And about 70% of the time when you get one of the air dashes when you hang on the poles or whatever, most of the rings and dash energy are gone as if they’ve been collected already. This game is ridiculously unfinished and I want my progress RESTORED IMMEDIATELY. This is absolutely unacceptable on every level.

While some have asked about new characters or certain additions to game, my main problem is when it crashes. It doesn't matter if it's a special event or a regular run, whether you used a ticket, a red star ring or sat thru the 30-second ad… the mere fact that it crashes amid any of these is bad enough. What's really nerve racking is that unlike the tickets that effortlessly refill, those red star rings you used are gone. If you poured 20+ minutes into that run, none the tasks you've finished will count. If you were trying to complete the event in one sitting, be prepared to redo the whole thing from scratch. “New high score? What new high score?”

If the crashing isn't resolved, it could very well frustrate players (whether they're Sonic fans or not) to the point of giving up on this game. Please address this issue ASAP.

“Sonic Boom” will never be as good as the regular Sonic we know and love. It will always remain in the shadow of the regular Sonic games. This sequel to “Sonic Dash” is no different. Unlike the ungodly messes that are “Rise of Lyric” and “Shattered Crystal”, this game is an okay time. It’s alright. Possibly the best Sonic Boom game other than “Fire and Ice”. But once you play the first “Sonic Dash”, odds are you’ll forget about this one. The first game is just better in every regard when it comes to the controls, menu design, and characters.
This game has some good ideas, such as a team system that allows you to choose up to three characters that then you switch between at certain points in your run, but the road to get new characters is PAINFULLY SLOW so it just falls flat on it’s face, and that’s a darn shame.

Final Review: 6/10
While it has some neat gimmicks, “Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom” is simply not as good as what came before it and likely won’t be able to keep your attention for nearly as long as its predecessor. You’re better off playing the original “Sonic Dash” instead.

First off this game definitely doesn’t look as good as the original SonicDash I got to say off the bat I prefer the original then the sequel because I’m like sonic two and one this game is not as good as the original I mean it’s pretty it’s even more obnoxious of getting the red star rings and seriously it’s not very fun logging the characters is a little obnoxious and really it’s not very cool it’s not very fun and they got rid of the trick system which could be very cool but I’m just saying like I really like the trick system and I don’t know why it isn’t in sonic forces but still I really like sonic forces but that’s beyond the point seriously I’m just saying this game definitely isn’t as good as the original but it does have some upsides like you can go to different paths you can go to different places of the world I feel like that’s the best part about this game seriously I kind a like it but not as much is the original I would say if you want to play a worse version and not as good version of SonicDash I would say played this game

Listen, I love SonicDash2 but I hate how it still says more characters coming soon! As a pose to it just being a complete game. The boom series died off in 2017 so it makes sense why this game isn’t being working on but let it be complete at least instead of abandoning the game. This was gonna be a sequel to the infamous Sonic Dash which had like a million downloads in 2016. Now it’s just dead. Plus I don’t think making the boom characters the main concept forever was a good idea especially because of rise of lyric. But I’ll even say I play this game more than dash 1 tbh. But that’s mainly because of nostalgia. By all means I love this game I just wish it wasn’t seen as abandoned by hardlight and sega.

To start, the game isn't bad--it's pretty fun. But the game is just... a watered-down Sonic Dash (the original mobile game). It doesn't feel as fast, there's not as much content, such as no boss fights nor chompers (which are replaced by some rails {that you can find in Sonic Forces mobile anyways} and tilting gimmicks), and the levels are just so empty and repetitive, including the fact that there's barely any gaps in the terrain and no hills or loops. Also, getting characters is a PAIN (a very long grind for some special abilities that barely matter), and the only fun things ('events') are locked behind tickets that I assume you either have to buy or wait for.
Meanwhile, Sonic Dash is just more vibrant, more diverse, more challenging, less grindy, and faster (which is the entire point of Sonic), and it has actual seasonal events for cool skins. It also has an additional house-building mechanic.
Overall, don't play this unless you REALLY enjoy it. Play Sonic Dash instead...
... Oh right, those sprites that the Apple editors cherish so much. Well, they boost specific things, which is cool, but either cough up the cash or wait a day to get one. Did I mention they're only a one-time use?

This is probably my favorite app and I play it every day. There are issues that are frustrating that I wish could be fixed. For starters, the Free Revive only works part of the time in normal game play but never during events. If you select the free revive, the game freezes up and you lose all progress that you made with that ticket. And you do not get your ticket back so have to wait. When trying to get all the goals during events this is not a good thing. Additionally, what is the point of evolving your enerbeam sprite if there are only orbs present the first time you ride the enerbeam? On subsequent rides, they are missing where they’ve been collected before, so I make it a point to only take the ones I need and leave the rest for another enerbeam ride. Other than that, it is a challenging but fun app and I really want to be able to update my review to give it 5 stars instead of 3. Please fix the issues!!!

I really liked this game. I been hooked on it ever since i downloaded it ,but one thing i noticed is that when I’m playing an event after a few plays it won’t let me play it again until i come back in a few hours. This made me upset because i have 3 tickets left and the game won’t let me play the other events ,and if i have to get a big score (I’ll use the shadow’s run event that is destroying 2,500 mines as a example) I only get 2 days to do it and in between plays it starts doing that thing where it says that its trying to connect but thats a huge lie because its connected why else would i be playing this game if i didn’t had wifi, And it won’t let me play shadows run or the other events. Thats my only complaint if you could fix this issue i would truly appreciate it.

Look, the game is great, but the game is not as good as the original. I fist downloaded this game like 4 or 5 years ago, but I didn’t like it as much as the original. There are WAY less characters, not enough zones, and honestly, with the state that the original Sonic Dash is in, this seems like an even bigger downgrade than in 2016. All I have to say is, if you don’t like to try downgrades, then don’t get this game. But if you like Sonic Boom as much as me, then download it. (I know that I said this is a downgrade but Sonic Boom is one of my favorite shows just because of the insane amount of no context moments.)

This sonic boom game is quite unique, and I dislike mobile games a lot but this game took my breath away. It’s so addictive when you have to keep running to gain XP so you can on lock characters and prizes to play with. There are also cool events that you can play to earn more XP, and when you are playing the cool events you can also play as characters you haven’t even unlocked. Did I forget to mention when you are playing sonic boom you try to bet sonic’s and his friends high score as well as other players through out the globe. I think sonic boom is the best mobile game I ever played!

by CatOverDog

I am a huge sonic fan. I love the sonic boom tv show, and I was so excited that they made a great game of the show. I do want two things to make the game even better. One, there needs to be an easier way to get red star rings. Tails is my favorite character, and you need 240 red star rings to get him. I am working very hard to get Tails, and I would like if there was an easier way to get some red star rings. Two, I do want more characters than all of team sonic and shadow. There should be like Zooey and characters like her. Still, I love ❤️ the game, and hope these changes are added soon. Thanks!

I downloaded the original Sonic Dash not long ago and I really enjoyed it! I got excited to play it’s sequel! I was a little skeptical since I abhorred the Sonic Boom series, I put it to download and got my chance to play it! It was better than I anticipated it to be, but it was definitely not as good it’s predecessor. I don’t play it as much as the original and I definitely play Super Mario Run too much more! Also, it was a tiny bit laggier and surprisingly less effort put in it than the original for being a sequel which you would imagine being the opposite than left to right if you know what I mean. It is good, but could’ve been better.

This is one of the best games you can get on SonicDash2 Store for free, I love how you can switch characters mid-run, it adds some strategy to a endless runner, If you want to get a high score quick and you just started, this is a easy strategy, First, get knuckles, he will be very useful, try to level him up to level 5 with 90 red rings, This increases the points you get by sliding into robots by 170%, get the sprite called Amp leveled up and be prepared to have something ready for revives. Also remember to watch a ad before to get your multiplier up. You could get 1M points in at least a month, and from there, sky’s the limit!

I always loved the original SonicDash game. But this- wow! I wish they would bring back the animals though. I like that they added the special abilities and friend feature. And I love that they still bring over the free revive from the last game. And now I wonder if anyone looked at my old review from the first SonicDash game.
I love the graphics of the game. It’s so much better than the original! I wonder what amazing things this game has! And if the SEGA company is reading this I want you guys to know you did an awesome job at making the game and I hope for a SonicDash 3 someday!

Sonic Boom (the show, not the games) got me into the fandom in the first place, so I had to download this game, along with the first Sonic Dash. It’s really fun, but I do have a few problems. Firstly, we’ve had the same six characters since the beginning, and no new characters (such as Zoey, Perci, and Team Cybonic) have been added. Secondly, I would love to race in some new locations, such as the snowy mountain, Robokken, and the alternate dimension from “Where Have All the Sonics Gone?”. (Bonus points if you can only access the latter while playing as Sonic or Shadow.) Because of this, it feels like this game isn’t getting as much attention as Sonic Dash. I hope these changes are added soon.

I love this game! It has really good graphics and cool maps! The only problems are that the game lags a lot and their aren’t that many characters. So, for instance, when I’m running and I hit and enemy or a mine, my rings go all over the place, but there is no noise. Them five minutes later, in the middle of the game, I hear this Oof sound and my character starts to stumble, even though I didn’t hit anything. Now, I know that there aren’t a lot of characters is Sonic Boom, but only five characters? Cmon, there’s gotta be more than that. Here’s a suggestion: One of Eggman’s robots! Like... FeindBot! Or Orbot and Cubot! Heck, you could even add Steve(The Great Morpho)! Thank you for reading this. Great Game and I’d recommend downloading it! One character I would really love to see is Metal Sonic.

by Mikey0128

Ok, my review on this game is it’s really great! However, there are a few problems with this game. First of all, there are so many ads. And as far as I can tell, there’s no way of getting rid of them. And when an ad appears, and after it’s done, it takes away the sound of the game. You can only get the sound back if you lose in the middle of a run and watch an ad to revive. Second of all, there is only one boss that you can battle, so I want to be able to battle more bosses. And finally, I hope that more characters come soon, because there are more characters in the first one. I would give this a five-star rating, but there are a few bugs. Other than that, I think that this is a great game, and I would recommend this to other people! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I LOVE your game. Just one request though...... ADD MORE CHARACTERS! I have all of them(except for shadow) and I think more characters would change the way some negative reviewers think about this game. All of my brothers and sisters and cousins have this game, and we all absolutely love it. We all do. Not have shadow though, because we love spending our red star rings. Here’s a suggestion- Maybe you could make that hero bundle a little bit cheaper? I mean, most of these people playing are kids, like I am 11, but come on, please make the hero bundle a bit LESS than 100 dollars? It would make the game better, and if it cost less money, then more people will buy your red star ring packs. Same thing with the other purchases to, some of them are a bit expensive. Stay Safe, Healthy and Happy, SEGA team!

One of the best Sonic the Hedgehog Racing games. Chasing points as the Blue Blur (Sonic), the Red Echidna (Knuckles),and even the Chaos Hedgehog (Shadow)! My favorite part is finding the Red Rings in tough spots. Dr Robotnik (Eggman) is pretty high detailed. I’m pretty sure that Sonic’s shoes being wrapped up is why they did that in my favorite movie, Sonic the Hedgehog. I love all the interactive running features and the differences between running and Dashing and NOT Dashing. I wish I could play as the Dark Robots (Metal Sonic and possibly Metal Shadow *I made that up.*) Anyways, there are a couple other characters I would like to have. I wish I could play as Dave from the Sonic show, Bad Side characters like Eggman,to fly in his EggMobile. Also, Infinite the Jackal, (Sonic Forces) and also, Zavok the demon,Zazz the demon,Zeena,and Chaos the Slime Alien. Alright I also wish the Exe’s (Sonic Exe, Tails Doll, etc.) Alright ok? Buy!

by RockoMERMES

The ads are spaced out perfectly. The free revives, I love them so much, they happen when I like them to happen!
The RedRings are fun to collect, though, a little tough to find sometimes.

The few things I wish are that you could have all of the characters playable from the start.. and I wouldn’t mind Dave from the TV show to appear as a playable character.. or even Vector.. not sure if Metal Sonic’s playable but that would be fun to play as!

I wish that there were more levels because I’ve been playing SonicDash2 since it came out for long periods of time, because it’s that fun, but the scenery can get a bit bland, I wouldn’t mind more levels based off the Robots of the Sky episode.. or Angel Island showing up, cuz Knuckles mentioned it in the show.

And I also would like to see boss fights... not like the ones from the other Sonic Dash games but like a race type boss.. kinda like Sonic CD Metal Sonic boss, and the Sonic Forces’ Speed Battle game.

As progress goes on, maybe we could unlock abilities for a possible Chao Garden? I know Sonic Boom doesn’t have Chao, but I’ve seen the concept art for potential Chao that looked like alien ghosts, and I would kinda wanna see that too.

Also, I know I’m asking a lot, but I think it would be cool to unlock outfits like those Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric DLC outfits.

Anyways, I think this is a really fun game, it keeps me entertained while I’m on the go! 👍

I still love the game but it's been years and I'm still waiting for the other supposed new characters to come. Why still have "More characters coming soon!" when there never gonna get added to the game? I feel like this game is getting neglected and that's a bad thing for the fans who play it. The original Sonic Dash is still getting more content put into it even from the Sonic Movie that came out. Will we ever see any more content being put into Sonic Dash 2??? If anything add Metal Sonic as playable for crying out loud! My review on it will have 1 star unless more care and content will be added if it ever happens that is... UPDATE: On top of this the game has been getting updates and STILL there’s no new characters, if the game is still being supported with updates for bug fixes then why are are still no new playable characters? My newest review here will now be one star until another character or at least Boom Metal Sonic arrives as a playable character.

by XenutoicNinja

This game introduces such a unique mechanic of being able to switch between characters, the constant different methods like the beam, and the rails, but this game just needs more characters, and I’m aware the cast of sonic boom isn’t very vast in terms of characters, but you could even do a crossover event with maybe dash 1, they release new characters much more often, and it’s such an easy way to add more variety to the game. This games main issue is the cast, that is all. Other than that it’s immensely responsive and it works quite well, the advertisements are a little abrupt at times but it’s worth the wait I suppose

by "why So Serios"

I still have to give this game a 5 star for quality however I wish that there were new bosses and that you would let us fight eggman more. Or introduce some new ones, like maybe Zazz and the rest of his gang, fighting them of one by one would be a very new interesting part of the game. Also I would just like to say that I am so happy new charecters are being added, definetly a good call. I wish the list of them would never end. Blaze the cat is a good one, Silver, Rouge, Cream, and more! I can't think of anything else wrong with this game. Thanks!
