I think it does that just fine. 

It does. I just can't work out why that's what they wanted to do. The audience is going to either ignore it (for being nothing more than a HD remake of a game they already know), or play the first couple of levels and then stop (satisfied that it's a faithful remake of a game they already know), or play it with The Eye Of Sauron embedded in their head, but a version of Sauron is fixated with the absolute perfect reproduction of every single element of the game, and if the developers get one single thing wrong they will flood the internets with loud and self-important complaints.

The guys making it obviously love Sonic 2, and that's cool. But given that they seem to have some idea about game development, I can't work out why they wouldn't want to spend that time applying their talents to something new that could stand up on its own rather than re-treading old ground for an audience that will react with at best apathy, and at worse complete vitriol.

LemonScented you could not have been so true as if you had already seen the current thread in sonic retro, pure sauron fest.

Well whatever their reason for wanting to do it, I'll play it through.

Sometimes people just do it for the love of the game man. And I love me some Sonic.

This is so cool. I have to admit I had my doubts and thought it could just be a filter over the sprites, but it looks like a lot of time and love went into it. I love the animation.

Personally, I liked Sonic's original design way better than the newer, flashier one. It's like he was cool just because he was, period. He didn't need to constantly remind you he was cool back then.
