Not ideal, but playablediablo6662021-09-14Version 2009 Hacki

The music is well chosen. In some stages, it complements the atmosphere in the level.

But with the levels - a problematic situation. Some have been redone, and some have remained unchanged. How is this displayed? In the graphical background and foreground. And for some - in the Level Design.

The majority-underwent only graphic changes, the minority - affected the Level Design. However, at least so, at least so - it is qualitatively redone. For that Time - and even now-a good job.

But here's what I didn't expect - a new character. In hacks, Sonic 2 is a very rare phenomenon, even an amazing phenomenon. The character is made from the sprite side - well. There are no Hedgehog sprites, otherwise it would be ridiculous.

Do I recommend this hack? In fact - for familiarization-yes, for the game - your desire. But after all, I recommend it.

Lovely in some part, but disappointed in othersTimaeus2015-12-11Version 2009 Hacki

This hack doesn't make sense to me, because most parts are new (music, level, etc.) but others are still vanilla (same music, some even with the same levels). For example, the first level, Quartz Valley is all new and the boss music is new as well. But the second level, Chemical Plant have the same music AND the same level, and the boss music is the same old one. That's just BAD and make the game a bit confusing, but nothing that could break it.

I loved the new musics, especially both acts of Quartz Valley (especially act 2), the relaxing music of Aquatic Ruin act 2 (don't remember of it does have a new name), metropolis act 1, the boss music and the level complete music. I LOVED those songs pretty much

The levels are very well done(the edited ones), but why metropolis have to be that hard? Any false move or rush resumes to death there. The Air dash made the game a lot enjoyable and easier to move around. I like it as well.

This hack is a more and less thing,but the edited parts of it already makes it a GREAT HACK.Play it.
