Sonic 2 Spin-Dashes onto XBLA

Sega's sidekick-enhanced Sonic sequel Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will be available for download on Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday. The title will cost 400 Microsoft Points ($5), three dollars cheaper than the title's 800 Wii Point ($8) price on Nintendo's Virtual Console. And rather than being a straight port like the pricier Wii version, Backbone Entertainment has enhanced the 1992 Genesis title with HD visuals and two-player online play. This new version lets a second player join in the fun over Xbox Live as Sonic's twin-tailed tagalong, running through pseudo-3D half-pipes with Sonic or getting constantly left behind in-game by Sonic's amazing speed. The title is the only new game addition this week on Xbox Live Arcade.

Easily the best of the Sonic series. If only what's left of Sonic Team would return the series to it's simple roots.

This is by far my favorite sonic game. It was one of the first games I got for my genesis, and it remains one of the best.
