Just in time to mask Sonic Forces
Sonichas had a bit of a crazy year. WhileSonic Maniawas well receivedby both fans and critics,Sonic Forcesis abit of a mess. Some people can dig it, but the general consensus seems to be that the game was a missed opportunity. Why not take your mind off things by reliving one of the blue blur’s greatest adventures?
Sonic the Hedgehog 2is now available for free on the iTunes App Store and Google Play store thanks to SEGA Forever. As with other games in the free game collection, you’ll have access to the full game with limited ad support, bluetooth controller functionality, cloud saves and leaderboards. you’re able to also pay a one time fee of $1.99 to remove all ads, if they are too intrusive for you.
This port ofSonic 2is the remastered version Christian Whitehead made on his faithful Retro Engine, so it includes full widescreen support, online multiplayer and the additional Hidden Palace Zone stage as well as having Knuckles without “lock-on technology.” Way past cool!
While it is great to have this for free, I hope this release eventually paves the way for aSonic 3remaster. Having all of the classic games in true widescreen would be a dream come true.
