This game takes a lot of what I and many others dislike about the one before it, and completely overhauls it, as any good sequel should. Sonic 2 is a fast paced, charming, and lovable game that uses speed to its advantage as often as it can. With beautiful, memorable, and most importantly fun levels to traverse with a fantastic soundtrack to back it, this game isn't perfect, but set a great standard for what these kinds of games should be.
