I'm here to remind you SA2 has:

Trash Knuckles levels
Trash Tails and Robotnik levels and too damn many of them
Not NEARLY enough Sonic/Shadow
Worse story than SA1 somehow
Trash bosses

In conclusion, SA1>>>>>

Why do people pretend that the non-Sonic levels are not just bad but notoriously horrible?

They are fun and incredibly easy to beat without trying to get a good ranking. While trying to get a good ranking they arent as good as the Sonic levels to be fair but still a fun part of two great games

Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I personally enjoyed the shoot em up levels. Blowing shit up can be fun, though I get why people wanted more high speed platforming.

Treasure search is whatever.

Trying for A ranks on all missions can be annoying as fuck, but outside of that, it's a great game. Ring collecting missions suck outside of hedgehog stages, and weird physics can fuck you over in space levels (fuck you Crazy Gadget hard mode), but if you're just trying to finish everything with any rank, it's an A rank game.

Also chao.

Yeah I actually liked most of the mech levels. Kind of addicting to try and get a huge kill streak.

Only treasure hunting stage I truly loathe even today is the Rouge stage with the gravity gimmick.

Mmmnope I loved it when I was younger, and I still enjoy it.

The only thing that really sucks about the treasure hunting levels is that the radar only goes off one at a time.

All 3D Sonic games always looked bad. Because they always had Mario games right next to them. Even if they weren't going for the same thing. Mario was nailing what it was going for while Sonic was a mess even back then. You really gotta want Sonic to be good to trick yourself into thinking they're anything more than slightly above average.

Sonic/Shadow are great
Tails is way too sluggish
Eggman is sluggish too but has better level design so he's fun
Knuckles/Rouge it really depends on the level, but the radar sucks and they'd be 10x better with the SA1 radar

I appreciate SA2 way more now playing it as an adult. The soundtrack is god tier, the sonic/shadow levels are full of cool skips you can pull off, the shooting levels are actually kind of fun when you're racking up big chains of kills, and the chao garden is fun as shit

These are absolutely true. I do think the stories are comparable between SA1 and SA2, but I prefer SA2 because Shadow's backstory is pretty fucking cool. SA1 had a much better method of telling the story, though. I liked the open world, and the way the story was shown from multiple perspectives by the different playable characters in SA1.

SA1 is definitely the better game overall, imo.

Yeah...went from being fairly straightforward, fun diversions to ridiculous multi-dimensional rat mazes that sometimes have obnoxious time limits.

I tried to play through SA2 again a couple of years ago, but I got to the prison/secret island vault/whatever level with Rouge and the time limit pissed me off so I quit.

Meanwhile, I've replayed the entirety of SA1 like four times in the past five years. It's still fun.

Even though the treasure hunting and mech shooting are worse than Knuckles' and Gamma's gameplays respectively...there's just something about 2's storytelling, music, and graphic style that I just prefer over 1. Plus the cutscenes don't look so awkwardly animated.

Yeah, thats not the burn TC thinks it is when one of those levels is Weapons Bed.

Security Hall isnt that bad either. Finding the emeralds isnt usually the problem with that stage, its figuring out if you get blueballed by a locked vault. If thats the case, just reset.

I agree

Sa2 is 1/3 of a decent game

This wouldn't be so bad if the Treasure Hunting levels weren't twice as long, and robot levels weren't so braindead

You literally play as sonic for like 3 mins, then you switch over to not sonic for 20 mins, then you play as sonic for 4 mins

Shit is fucking stupid.
