Official Score = 3 Devils[/caption]You know, there is a reason why certain video games become the 'flagship' video game of the company that the system comes from... Is it because of the graphics? No... (I mean lets be honest, no one can claim that the first Super Mario Bros. had great graphics (even by the standard when the video game first came out... But still the game was freaking awesome!) Is it because of (ease-of-game-play?) No... (Let's be honest here and say that XBox's flagship game, 'Halo' is a hard game to learn to play if you aren't used to it... Yet the game still kicked some massive ass!) Is it because of the music/sound effects? No... Although I will admit that universally the sound effects and music for the flagship games that I have played are pretty awesome!
No, in this case I believe that what makes a video game a, 'flagship' game is not just how awesome, but how universally it is accepted as being one of the better video games to have come out from that company during it's run!
Now I have mentioned the flagship games for, 'Nintendo' and, 'Microsoft', but there is a game that is still the flagship of it's company (even though the company no longer makes systems...) That is Sonic The Hedgehog!

The flagship game for, 'SEGA.'[/caption]Now this game is freaking awesome... I mean it definitely ran on the heels of the success of Nintendo's 'Super Mario Bros.'... But in and of itself, it is a blast! Well I won't bore you with the details from that game, 'Click here:' if you want to read more on that game...
In this case I wanted to talk about, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (1992)!

A worthy successor tot he original![/caption]This game, which was also released for the Sega Genesis, told of the continuing story of, 'Sonic' and his war to stop Doctor Robotnik from turning his home in to a cyborg haven!
One thing that I thought should be mentioned here is the fact that this game, which maintained just about all of the elements of what made the first one great, also melded it with brand new levels, and some brand new bad guys, but where as, 'Mario' had, 'Luigi', Sonic would also get his own partner when they introduced, 'Tails' in tot he mix!

Mario may have Luigi, but Sonic now has Tails![/caption]In the end this game is a blast... The only problem that I had with this one, is that like it's predecessor, it doesn't have that, (I have to play it over and over again appeal to it that I find to be one of the better aspects to video games!
Regardless though, this game is fun, and if you get a chance to try it, do so, I liked it, and you might like it as well!
