Flux's Quckies - Sonic the Hedgehog 2
« on: January 12, 2015, 03:43:04 AM »
What happened when I tried to do a quick review.
And now, exclusively on AC2, the first ever AC2 review, Sonic 2!

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on Sega Genesis is one of the most memorable games you'll ever find. From the creative boss fights to the colorful levels, to the catchy soundtrack you'll find yourself amazed at what it has to offer.
When you first boot up Sonic 2, you're greeted with the classic "Se-ga" voice clip and Sonic and Tails's faces on the title screen. Enter the game and get used to the controls as you probably won't be putting it down till you've spent your last continue. Here are the levels you'll run through and what to expect:
Emerald Hill - Humble begginings in a colorful hilly plain. Plenty of chances to get Chaos Emeralds too (more on that later) -Difficulty:   :luv:  ;nod
Chemical Plant - Gets you really pumped up here. Go really fast, and potentially drown. Tons of fun and a decent amount of chances for emeralds. -Difficulty:  :luv:
Aquatic Ruin - Possibility to drown, easy still though. Really nice music and probably my favorite track. Difficulty:  ;nod
Casino Night Zone: It's literally a giant pinball machine. With you as the pinball. Difficulty: ;nod
Hill Top Zone: It starts getting kind of difficult here. This level itself is probably the most boring one, and you have potential to drown in lava in a cave. Difficulty:  :)
Mystic Cave Zone:  You probably wont die a lot, but it can be kind of annoying. Lots of easy puzzles here to. Difficulty:  :)
Oil Ocean Zone: I'm going to be honest, I normally just spend this whole level wishing it was over. Difficulty:  :-\
Metropolis Zone: Freaking cheap enemy placement here, can be really frustrating. Especially act 3. Difficulty: :doh
Sky Chase Zone: Nice and easy, you spend the entire level on a plane. Difficulty:  :D
Wing Fortress: Painfully long. Other than that kind of bland. Difficulty:  :-\
Death Egg Zone: Final boss time! No rings at all. Hard, but not impossible. Also you fight a robotic clone of yourself here. Difficulty:  :(
_________________________________
Other than that the game controls really solidly, and you'll find yourself coming back for more.
You can also use 50 rings and a checkpoint (jump into the circle above it when you hit the checkpoint with 50 rings) to get a Chaos emerald in a pseudo-3D special stage. Get all 7, get 50 rings, jump, and become Super Sonic. Invincibility and better speed! Woo!
Rating: 8.5 (very good)
That was a quick lil' review I did. So, yah.
Left the internet, more-or-less.... Might drop in occasionally.

Technological advance is an inherently iterative process. One does not simply take sand from the beach and produce a Dataprobe. We use crude tools to fashion better tools, and then our better tools to fashion more precise tools, and so on. Each minor refinement is a step in the process, and all of the steps must be taken.
