Unfortunately the soundtrack is a repetitive retro tune that at first complements the stages but forgettable. The environments are colorful and sound effects are spot on. Collecting fifty rings allow players to gain access to a special stage that mirror the half-pipe race pattern. Episode 1 levels resembled Sonic the Hedgehog and Episode 2 has drawn inspiration from its sequel. Running through stages, bouncing off springs, and using your homing attack are still fun as ever.

Although these play key roles throughout the game it would have been logical to place abilities that didn’t sacrifice speed. This leads to unexpected stops in the action as players will be forced to rely on precise cooperative based actions such as flight, swimming, and a rolling combo to overcome obstacles. Each stage is designed to accompany both Sonic and Tails, making it impossible to complete a level without using the cooperative abilities available.

Tails is a necessary companion throughout the game and can only be controlled in a cooperative game online or offline. One of the largest additions of Episode 2 is the inclusion of Tails.

Like Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 Episode 2 fails to fix some issues of the first title and doesn’t deliver the classic Sonic experience that was promised in 2009. Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 attempts to build on the original game by adding new modes, new characters, cooperative play, and more levels.
