December 25th, 1993. A fresh-faced and
(mostly) innocent little boy wakes up and rushes through his breakfast
to make sure he beats his little sister to the Christmas tree.
Underneath he finds four gifts: a Sega Genesis game console, RBI
Baseball, Disney's Aladdin, and Sonic The Hedgehog 2. Twenty years
later, that boy, no longer little and considerably less innocent, can
relive countless wasted hours on a 5-inch phone screen. Sonic 2 is now
in the Play Store.
Sonic 2 was a big deal when it launched back in the early nineties -
aside from being the first sequel to the smash hit original, it
introduced bigger platforming levels with more unique elements, the
now-ubiquitous Spin Dash attack, and a playable second character. Miles
"Tails" Prower (it took me more than a decade to see the pun) could be
played separately, but if the player chose to play as Sonic he would
follow along as a limited AI character, trailing Sonic and usually dying
in hilarious ways. The basic structure of the original game is
preserved, including challenging bosses, fantastic music, and of course,
levels tuned for speed.
The Android version of Sonic The Hedgehog 2 comes from Christian Whitehead, whose excellent work on the Sonic CD and original Sonic
Android ports did not go unnoticed. This remastered version of the game
includes improved graphics and audio for modern hardware, a new Boss
Attack mode, two-player versus mode, achievements, and leaderboards via
Google Play Games, and a playable Knuckles (from Sonic 3 and onward).
Players will also have access to the Hidden Palace Zone stage, a new
level that was shelved during Sonic 2's original development. Best of
all, you can now find a save option in the spanking new menu, which
should alleviate lingering fears of a power outage erasing your paused
game.
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is $2.99 in the Play Store, and it's compatible with devices running Android 2.3 and up.

ReplyDeleteHerve Leger, sometimes deliberately written as Herve Leger is a French fashion house founded by the designer Herve Peugnet, also known as Herve L. Leroux Herve Leger Dresses was founded in 1985 by the designer Herve Peugnet (1957–2017). The same year Karl Lagerfeld advised Peugnet that his surname Peugnet would be too difficult for Americans, the target market, to pronounce, and instead suggested the surname Leger. Having lost the rights to the Herve Leger name, Peugnet later took a third "brand" name as Sexy Sailor Herve Leger in 2000.A model walking the runway at Herve Leger Fringe Dress Fall/Winter 2014 show at New York Fashion Week, February 2014.
