Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Dr. Robotnik is plotting a takeover of the entire world, and Sonic is going to have his paws full trying to stop him. Along with his newfound friend, Tails the Fox, Sonic will speed through loop-de-loops, crazy mazes, and dizzying speedways. Ricocheting about like a pinball, our furry little hero will hit bumpers, platforms, and more at breakneck speeds. The Power Sneakers are back, and the addition of a Super Spin Dash means the excitement will be fast and furious. There are seven Chaos Emeralds for you to capture and tuck away; anything short of that will mean certain doom for your friends and success for Robotnik. We wouldn't want that, would we? Play alone or challenge a friend.

A very cool game

A Kid's Review

I remember when I had the sega Genesis. I loved it, and I ecspecially loved the sonic games! I remember, however, that I was really jealous of my cousin's game gear. So for a long time I wanted a Game Gear..... I never got one, because I couldn't afford one! But last December I ordered my first game gear from Amazon.com for just [price] and I love it! I mainly bought it because of the Sonic games, and although the sonic games for genesis are better, the one's for game gear are still real good.
Sonic 2 for game gear is a real fun game with cool levels. The first level is pretty hard but its real fun!A cave to start things off? The first boss is way to hard to beat for only the first level! I figured out an effective way to beat him though... what you need to do is, stay near the little monster thing. When those very annoying bouncy balls start coming down the slope( the high bouncy balls)stay near the little monster until the ball is close. Then, jump a little towards the monster, and then away from it. With practice you'll get the hang of it!
The second level is also real cool! Here's a tip.... On the first act of the second level, get 100 rings and then you'll get a life. Then go near the handglider, but do not jump on it. Jump over it... yep.. down where the spikes are and move over to the left. You should find a life box. Jump on it and then commit suicide by spiking yourself to death. Repeat the process over and over again! ( note: when you do this make sure that you get the invincibility box first.) I think that riding the hanglider is pretty fun! The secong act is kinda hard though, but once you learn to gain complete control of the hanglider(which does take practice) then everything will be ok. The boss for this level is pretty cool... one of my favorite bosses! A huge Bird! First jump on the little birdies and then you fight their momma! Jump on her head right after she has fired a fire ball at you, and repeat the process.
The third level- an underwater act is pretty cool but its extremely frustrsting( act 2 is) One Huge relief, however, is that this boss is the easiest in the game! jUST JUMP ON THAT BALL THAT IS on his head!( only jump when it's on its head!)
The fourth level- "Green Hills Zone" is great and very fun. It is very easy to get many lives here! ( I can't beat the 3rd act though, because I always end up falling on spikes!
However, with the use of codes I have played the other levels a little bit. I really enjoy the battle with siver sonic! He's cool, but he's extremely easy! I just hope that I can fingure out a way to beat the last act of Green Hills Zone.....
So all in all this is a great game!It's just a little bit hard, that's all!

I used to play this when I was a child back in the day...then I sold my Game Gear (big mistake!) And now I have it back.
It was hard then...and is still hard now. Probably the hardest Sonic game ever! The main reason: No rings at the boss levels. Sonic has only one chance to beat each boss or dies. On level I REALLY hate in this game is "Scrambled Egg Zone: Act 2" I literally spent at least 40 times (thanks to an abundance of extra lives) trying to figure out how to get past that level. Navigating the "Tubes of Doom" as I call them can be downright frustrating. So is searching for all the Chaos Emeralds and accessing the Crystal Egg Zone. Green Hill Zone: Act 3 is just as frustrating. It's all about memorization and mapping out the level's layout in order to succeed. (Remember, Act 3 has NO rings).
I would only recommend "Sonic Experts" to play this game. Good luck earning the "real" ending (obtaining all six chaos emeralds). Even i'm not that good. And i've been playing Sonic since it first came out in '91.

While Sonic 1 for Game Gear was a good game, it didn't have much of the high-speed action we expected. Sonic 2, on the other hand, contains that.
Sonic 2 for Game Gear is not what you expect to be if you had played the Genesis version: It has a completely different storyline and zones. Tails is kidnapped by Robotnik and Sonic must save him. Isn't Tails supposed to be the sidekick?
Anyways, the gameplay is identical to the Genesis games, which is great. The music and sounds were still well-developed. What is kind of a letdown is that there are no Special Stages. You gotta find the Chaos Emeralds in the zones themselves. There's your challenge for ya.
Overall, it's another great Sonic game....that was eclipsed by the more well-known Genesis version.
