Publisher: Sega
Released: 1995
Sonic Drift 2 is a racing game and the sequel to the original that was released on the Sega Game Gear in 1994.
+ Courses are much more imaginative than the first game and include hazards specific to the individual themed worlds.+ Roster has been expanded from four to seven characters, providing some longevity as you discover your favourite driver.
+ More options available to spice things up, such as having offensive-based weapons and the ability to choose your opponents.
+ Neat graphical touches such as weather effects, tunnels and a half-pipe section inspired by Sonic 2 (1992, Sega Genesis).
- Increased difficulty from the original is welcome, but enemies are overly aggressive and aided by obvious rubber-banding.
- The tracks haven't been widened, so the same issues of cluttered raceways and problematic overtaking remain.
- Finale cut-scenes for each character are no longer included which does diminish some the game's long-term appeal.
