Sonic Marathon List
Prev | | Next
played on Ares
Goddamn it's been a while since my last marathon post. Idk why it took me so long to get around to this one, mostly just work stress and shit but I'm finally in a more settled position and on vacation so I finally got around to STHPA.
To be honest, I don't have much to say? It's just Sonic 2 but 8bit. Better than the actual Sonic 2 8bit, but not much for me to speak about. Fine game, I like the art style and how they translated modern Sonic into 8bit. The screen crunch is annoying in the latter half, but that's about it.
Can't really even rate the stages? Sky Chase was dull and the last two (Aerospace and Gigantic Angel) suffer from screen crunch. Also, the boss in Cosmic Casino was annoying. That's all my criticism, other stages were fine.
That's really about it, fine enough short game.

sonic 2 REMIX that you can play while you wait for your laundry to finish. don't listen to the sonic fans that emulated this just to say that they played it- it's a super solid game and even outclasses some of dimps later titles. IGN's famous score of 10/10 may not be a SUPER accurate representation of this games quality, but it's honestly pretty understandable given how solid the execution is in this game. the small screen size definitely hurts in some of the later levels, but it's not at all comparable to what you might see on some game gear sonic games.
it's certainly no sonic 2, but the time attack modes and collectable jigsaws add some unique elements that the original doesn't have, so it's worth playing provided you're not expecting something you'd see from a console at the time. probably some of the best spritework in a handheld sonic title.
