toaster1 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Should I get Sonic 1 or Sonic 2? I've been meaning to play the original games for a while - my only previous Genesis experience was Sonic Gems collection. I was thinking Sonic 2 for length, it's good reviews, and because apparently Sonic 1 has problems in PAL, but Sonic 1 is retro, also has good reviews, and... well, I was hoping you guys could help me out. And no, I don't really want to buy a short game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Sonic 2 is better than Sonic 1. So much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgoten Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Yea, I started with sonic 2, I can't even play sonic 1 because of the absence of the fucking spin dash. I'd recommend just playing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1LT Worm Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Sonic 2. With Sonic only, unless you have a friend who'll play as Tails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Blah Sonic 1 is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 haha I actually prefer Sonic 1 too. They're both great though. If they're priced the same, you technically get more gameplay with Sonic 2 cause it has like twice the zones at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Personally I like Sonic 3&K the most out of the classics, but I'd say if you had to make a purchase now go with Sonic 1 maybe, play it, then go to Sonic 2 and so on. Though if you want more bang for your buck if they are priced the same (like Rael said) I'd go with Sonic 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Don't forget Sonic 1 has 3 acts where Sonic 2 mostly has 2. Sonic 2 is still longer but I think it is exaggerated by how much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Sonic 2 if you can only get one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Sonic 1 for the Master System if it's available. If not, then Sonic 2 for the Genesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tentril Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 But two people can play at once, and you can piss off your friend by leaving him in the dust so hes never on screen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Sonic 2 is infinitely superior in my book. Though it's a little annoying with Emerald Hill Zone having the horizontal bars of weird at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klonoa Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Sonic 1 since sonic is the only playable character it's obviously better. Plus spin dash is for scrubs. Real men use momentum to get up slopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toaster1 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 So Sonic 2 wins then. I was thinking much the same; my only gripe is with Green Hill Zone compared to Emerald Hill Zone. Maybe I can get both... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1LT Worm Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Um, why don't you just get the Sonic Mega Collection? Either game is going to run you 800 Wii Points, which is about $8/£8, and you can buy the Collection for $10 (maybe less if you do the auction route).

DimensionWarped Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Keeping track of and putting in the gamecube disk is inconvenient. It's nice to have one Sonic game you can just load from the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? That's your argument? "It's a pain in the ass for me to put a disc into a slot-loading drive, so I'm going to subject myself to extortion and pay through the nose for a 20-year-old game?" Maybe if the games were a dollar/quid a piece, the convenience would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if the games were a dollar/quid a piece, the convenience would be worth it. Actually, this argument is valid as far as the rest of the world is concerned. Heck, it's the only argument people have against the PS3 not having backwards compatibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you didn't play Sonic games until they were downloadable on the Wii then right? If that's your argument you must have never want to plug-in cartridges, cds or controllers for that matter. Heck you must have never played video games in the time before downloaded games and wireless controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, seriously, it's obvious he started preferring downloadable titles when they became available. If the luxury exists now, and you can afford it, why give it a pass? I would personally go with Worm's method, but what DW said isn't unreasonable. Sheesh... The stuff some people get riled up over. Leave DW alone, he's been pretty awesome the last few days.
