Ellie Gibson Eurogamer	September 17, 2007 - Excellent - All very well but sometimes you want to be reminded of how good games used to be. The new Xbox Live Arcade version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 shines as a candidate for the job. Full Review


Greg Stewart GamesRadar	September 17, 2007 - Excellent - Sonic the Hedgehog threw the videogame world for a loop when the game was released in 1991. Fifteen years later, this 16-bit masterpiece holds up surprisingly well on the Xbox 360 - especially considering the asking price. Full Review


Ian O'Neill Game Positive	September 21, 2007 - Good - Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a classic retro title with much more content than the first in the series. It's a shame there's no online co-op element included, but there's still hours of fun to be had here. Full Review


Frank Provo GameSpot	September 13, 2007 - Good - The quintessential Sonic experience is made even better thanks to the inclusion of achievements and a strong, competitive multiplayer component. Full Review


David Craddock IGN	September 12, 2007 - Good - 15 years after its debut and subsequent packaging with the Genesis console itself, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 holds up as not only one of the best games available on Sega's memorable 16-bit machine, but also a worthy addition to any XBLA library.
