SONIC THE HEDGEHOG- 2/20
Dude it starts out so fucking good- the levels are SO much better, the music is better, Tails is a neat addition and Super Sonic is great to play around with (significantly better Chaos Emerald minigames as well, might I add).
Then the game fucking nosedives in its second half.
After Mystic Cave Zone you get Oil Ocean (cruel badniks that are nigh-impossible to avoid getting hit by, long stretches of waiting in cannons), Metropolis (Fucking ass in every way I can describe and this is the one zone with 3 acts because fuck you), Sky Chase (Glorified cutscene), Wing Fortress (I actually don't mind it too much, it's just got a few dickish platforming segments but it's the last platforming in the game so it gets a pass) and Death Egg (Zero rings on hand against that shitty Egg robot makes for a really boring fight).
Sonic 2 does so much so well, and even at its lowest it's just on par with Labyrinth Zone from the first game, but if its second half wasn't such a fall from grace this would be an easy 9. Still love it though, excited for CD!
