About Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a side-scrolling platform game and the sequel to the original Sonic the Hedgehog. Players control Sonic as he traverses larger, faster-paced levels across West Side Island, collecting rings, defeating robot enemies, and pursuing Doctor Robotnik. The game introduces Sonic's sidekick Miles "Tails" Prower, a two-tailed fox who can be controlled by a second player. It also adds the spin dash move, a competitive split-screen multiplayer mode, and pseudo-3D special stages in which players collect rings to earn Chaos Emeralds.

pareil, deux manettes une télé, sauf que chez moi c'était mon frère qui volait les anneaux, ça tient encore mieux qu'AC2 sur la rejouabilité perso

Another duel, another round of the same nostalgia argument versus the same modern classics.

Tails stealing my rings and I still loved every second of it!!

I keep seeing it ranked below stuff like Portal or Assassin's Creed II and I just don't get the logic here, it's a fine game, a good sequel even, but the nostalgia vote is doing all the heavy lifting and everyone knows it, myself included probably

Je le lançais chez mon voisin après l'école, on se battait pour savoir qui prenait Tails, souvenirs intacts

Le niveau qui traîne un peu vers la fin existe (je pense au même que tout le monde), mais l'ensemble reste solide
