It will keep those familiar with the title entertained for a little over an hour on a total play through but will keep newer players coming back again and again while they figure out the level dynamics on hand. The gameplay while not the most refined game of all time still retains the brilliant sense of speed it instilled in players when it first came out, this can feel like a lack of control to some players but to the experienced is just a part of the entire experience. Of all the Sega classics being released on the platform this was the one I’m sure most Sega fans were looking forward to simply because it is one of the few games in the release list that still feels somewhat relevant. As with all these Sega classic games however there is one key question, how does it hold up after a staggering 22 years since release? Beyond this additional visual flair there is little added to the overall game play but it feels like this was done to keep authenticity of the product rather than copout on the overall design.
3d sonic the hedgehog 2 portable#
Having rebuilt the entire engine to be more portable on modern hardware, this title feels much more natural on the platform than some previous emulation efforts, the added dimension is just an added bonus to this change in the underlying technology. While the 3DS doesn’t always nail the 3D effect on polygonal based games – this is yet another great example that the 3D effect on primarily 2D games works an absolute treat.
This is nothing more than said original Sonic the hedgehog re-released with a fairly convincing 3D effect applied to the environment. The inferior Game gear games have already been released on the 3DS but they should be ignored when looking at this release, they were produced on a platform that simply couldn’t handed the gameplay concept in a similar manner to the original game release. A testament to good game design in a period of the games industry that was in a moment it change, it’s a rare and beautiful thing. However for all the time that has passed- this is one game that still surprisingly holds up. After years of the franchise being treated like total trash (Sonic Unleashed etc), it is hard to remember a time where Sonic was considered a system seller and pen worth risking long term emotional scars over. School yard battles were fought over who was better Mario or Sonic, friendships ruined because of said attacks. This was the figure head for Blast processing and all of that junk that doesn’t really exist. The Mega drive Sonic games where a powerful force in their time both in terms of quality and the marketing strength they commanded. But despite that now you can see where the ‘Blue bomber blur’ first begun the brain washing of a generation. Firstly after all this time, No, I still don’t know how Sonic is based on a hedgehog.
