I like Sonic 1 but oh my god it is not a good game. This port makes it actually playable. Sonic 2 however, is really good and now it's in widescreen and on PC. That's enough for me to recommend this to anyone.
I like this game but it has so many issues. Half of the zones are just really bad, the only thing that keeps making me go back to this game is Sonic. He's just really fun to control.
Sonic 2 is the first Sonic game I've ever played and my favorite Sonic game but it certainly isn't perfect. Some of the zones (like Metropolis) are just a pain to go through and I often find myself just giving up once I get to oil ocean.
Really short but fun experience. The story is kept simple and easy to understand. It's not very replayable though due to the repetitive gameplay but I still find myself coming back every once in a while.
