It’s hard. It makes a chill vibe really has ads, but it doesn’t show up that often really good and I recommend for your kids and perfect game for a long periods of time. Highly recommended. ### 4/5 — W *2026-01-24, version 5.0.5.2* Love this game and the classics but why does this game have to be ad supported me personally I don’t like it if you guys can switch it but all sides perspective love this game ### 4/5 — It’s fun but… *2026-01-19, version 5.0.5.2* It is really fun and I love it, but there should be more updates and more ideas to add to this game 1. You should make some more features at Sonic, like making him run so fast his legs turn infinity 2. You should add hyper sonic to make it more fun and make Sonic the main character 3. Make Sonic 3 already, it’s been more than a month since you posted the game ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-01-18, version 5.0.5.2* Play please it is great ### 5/5 — Great game(tell it to all of your family) but a few suggestions One suggestion *2026-01-16, version 5.0.5.2* Hello I am a sonic fan and I want a big change to add a shadow, the hedgehog in the game and silver the hedgehog so go ahead and do an update SEGA and Christian whitehead add shadow and silver in this game thank you ### 5/5 — Sonic the hedgehog changed my life *2026-01-10, version 5.0.5.2* Ever since I downloaded the classic, sonic the hedgehog was just part of the fun. I like the way you get to play as sonic and tails at the same time! and I like the fact that how sonic and his team has their own special abilities. I’m giving this a 10/10 ### 5/5 — Yeah!! *2026-01-08, version 5.0.5.2* Happy Sonic Twouseday! ### 4/5 — Too much ads *2026-01-06, version 5.0.5.2* There is too much ads and too much lag I suppose remove some unnecessary and innapropiate ads since this has been a problem for me. But the game itself I super good an OG very enjoyable and fun ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why did you ad ads I paid for the game *2026-01-28, version 5.0.5.2* Ruined it when you added ads. I paid for the entire game there were no ads before . Now I don’t even want it. ### 1/5 — Fine *2026-01-25, version 5.0.5.2* It is okay 1 star material ### 1/5 — TAKE OUT THE ADD IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER *2026-01-18, version 5.0.5.2* Every time I’m trying to play the game it gets interrupted by the add I accidentally click and it gets me mad ### 1/5 — This game sucks *2026-01-12, version 5.0.5.2* It’s too hard and if you try the third emerald you keep wasting your rings and theres too many ads ### 1/5 — Stupid game *2026-01-01, version 5.0.5.2* Fix this stupid game for I hit you in da mouth! ### 1/5 — Ads have ruined the experience *2025-12-26, version 5.0.5.2* I really want to say that I this game. Sonic 2 was already a good, and the improvements added to this port make it even better. However, the free version has a type of ad that will leave behind an obnoxious banner after it is done playing THAT OVERLAPS with the buttons you need to touch to control your character. I have to close the game every time I’m unlucky enough to get these ad banners because they can’t just be swiped away, and they make the game unplayable. I could buy the ad free version, but why would I want to give this app money after it has disrespected me so egregiously. ### 1/5 — Man *2025-11-30, version 5.0.5.2* I Literally Can’t Pass The Second zone ### 1/5 — The Worst Game Ever *2025-11-02, version 5.0.5.2* So basically first, in the special stages, when your on one of the sides in a couple of seconds you’ll be back at the ground like bro seriously? And plus they change the area of the special stages. And that’s all I have to say ### 1/5 — Bring back the games *2025-10-20, version 5.0.5.2* SONIC 4 EPISODE 2 AND MY FAVORITE GAME SONIC CD ARE NOW GONE ### 1/5 — Ads 😫 *2025-10-13, version 5.0.3.1* Sega, why do have to put ads? I JUST CLICK START GAME, ADS, I LOST THE GAME, ADS, EVERYTHING IS FILLED WITH ADS ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One of my favorite ports *2026-02-23, version 6.0.3* I remember playing this game a lot of times when I was younger, and I redownloaded it about a month ago. I remember this was also my first time playing and beating Sonic 2, I’m a bit sad this is going to get removed from the App Store. ### 5/5 — 2026 *2026-02-23, version 6.0.3* There’s no adds any more!!!!!😃 ### 5/5 — Sonic 3 *2026-02-23, version 6.0.3* Can you add sonic 3 pleeeeaaase on mobile and has controller support that’s all and can it be sonic 3 & knuckles? Pweeeeeeeeeese? ### 5/5 — It’s great *2026-02-22, version 6.0.3* Just look at the other review on Sonic 1 it’s the same ### 5/5 — DONT LEAVE SONIC! *2026-02-22, version 6.0.3* PLEASE! ### 5/5 — Extraordinary *2026-02-22, version 6.0.3* Exactly extraordinary game for you ### 5/5 — Sonic 2 review *2026-02-22, version 6.0.3* It’s sad to see Sonic 1 and 2 getting delisted soon and when they get delisted I will still play them since they are still in my phone. ### 5/5 — So you can add for holiday *2026-02-21, version 6.0.3* Something you can add is maybe like for Christmas you could put presents in the map scattered around and there’s a chance where you can get a chaos emerald but the other chances you get the sparkle, speed, boost or 50 rings but if you get unlucky a bunch of of the robots will spawn or either you lose all your rings ### 5/5 — Rip its over *2026-02-20, version 6.0.3* This was the best game while it lasted ### 5/5 — DONT do it *2026-02-19, version 6.0.3* Besides Sonic Origins this is the only way to play Sonic 2. PLEASE don’t end support already! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
