Sonic Drift 2 is an improvement over the original game, one that actually got an original western release, and it's competent as an 8 bit racer.

There's a few more characters, way more track variety and an attempt at a more dynamic presentation. But still, there isn't much to this game, the racing mechanics are bare and the control is poor.

You can play this 2 player with Sonic Origins Plus, which adds some more value, but why would you go back to this now. Its aged graphically and the music is forgettable.

SD2 is only really something you play for the sake of completing the collection, and nothing more. Better than 1, but not by much.
