XBOX LIVE ARCADE WEDNESDAYS – SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2

Looks like we’re getting quite a few Sega Genesis titles these days, doesn’t it? While it still remains to be seen if this will be a rare one-title week, Microsoft has confirmed that Sega’s Genesis classic Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will be making it’s Xbox Live Arcade debut today.

Sonic 2 introduced the world to Sonic’s sidekick Tails, a fox who, oddly enough, had two tails and could use them to hover like a helicopter. The game also saw the introduction of Sonic’s now famous Spin Dash attack – a move that allowed Sonic to spin quickly in place and then release all that energy in a massive burst of speed. By default, the player will play the game as Sonic with a AI driven Tails tagging along, however players did also have the option to either play as Sonic or Tails by themselves.

This one is probably my favorite of the Sonic series for reasons of nostalgia, and while Sega has certainly not been treating the Sonic franchise well in recent years, this one harkens back to the days when Sonic truly was an “A list” character. So long as the game doesn’t somehow get ruined in the translation to the Xbox 360, 2D platformer fans will certainly be pleased with this one.

From the Xbox.com product description;

• Multiplayer: Play with a friend at home, or go online and play Sonic and Tails with the world at large.” – Xbox.com

As for last week’s two Live Arcade releases, it really was a disappointing set of titles. As I mentioned, I was never a Fatal Fury fan, so I wasn’t expecting much from Fatal Fury Special at all, but I did have high expectations for Cyberball 2072 – and those expectations were crushed by the lack of a 2 player versus mode. Why Midway chose to go the cheap and easy route and only emulate half of the experience is mind-boggling – though I’m willing to bet it has something to do with the rather unique setup of the arcade machine. (Those of you who never saw Cyberball 2072 in the arcades should note that 2 player versus mode was accomplished by having what was essentially two arcade machines back to back built into one. Each player had their own screen and didn’t have to worry about their opponent being able to look at their play selection.)

XBOX LIVE ARCADE WEDNESDAYS – SONIC THE HEDGEHOG & GOLDEN AXE – PART 2

There’s a lot of ground to cover today, so I’m going to dispense with the history lessons this week and just give you the release information for these two titles. Let’s get to it.

“Sonic, the fastest blue hedgehog on earth, will rocket through hair-raising loop-de-loops and take dizzying dives past bubbling lava, waterfalls and more in Sonic the Hedgehog Arcade. Gather up the rings and stop Dr.Eggman’s (aka Dr. Robotnik) schemes for world domination!

• Enhanced version: Newly enhanced graphics bring this 1991 console classic to life as never before. Once again, you can thrill to Sonic’s adventures, but this time in an updated environment.
• Leaderboards: Top Score leaderboards are there to keep track of your progress.
• All new achievements: Twelve new achievements, range from simple such as clearing the Green Hill Zone or collecting one hundred rings, to more challenging, such as trying to complete the game without losing a life.” – Xbox.com

“Three mighty heroes have a score to settle with the evil Death Adder in this classic action game, now adapted for Xbox LIVE® Arcade. As a powerful fighter, a female Amazon, or a mighty dwarf, fight through Adder’s henchmen with weapon and magic attacks, or ride the fearsome, fire-breathing dragon in Golden Axe.

• Enhanced graphics and sound: Relive all those classic arcade moments with an adaptation of one of the most important arcade games released. Golden Axe is one of SEGA’s most treasured brands, and they’ve treated this classic well, with updated graphics and sound effects.
• Leaderboards: Two high score leaderboards are used, one for Normal, and one for Hardcore play.
• Multiplayer capability: Now you and a friend can join in on the action.
• Achievements: Twelve new achievements are included to master, ranging from the easy such as playing every character, to the difficult, such as winning the game without having to use a continue.” – Xbox.com

As for last week’s release, Missile Command, I’ve got to say that I was a little disappointed by it. While the original version of the game was spot on and the controls are workable, the enhanced mode just left a lot to be desired. I think for me it was the almost haphazard way the bolts of lightning you shoot (instead of missiles) streak out, which makes it very hard to time your shots. It’s not a horrible game, but it’s one you definitely want to try before you buy.

• Enhanced graphics and sound: Relive all those classic arcade moments with an adaptation of one of the most important arcade games released. Golden Axe is one of SEGA’s most treasured brands, and they’ve treated this classic well, with updated graphics and sound effects.
• Leaderboards: Two high score leaderboards are used, one for Normal, and one for Hardcore play.
• Multiplayer capability: Now you and a friend can join in on the action.
• Achievements: Twelve new achievements are included to master, ranging from the easy such as playing every character, to the difficult, such as winning the game without having to use a continue.” – Xbox.com

As for last week’s release, Missile Command, I’ve got to say that I was a little disappointed by it. While the original version of the game was spot on and the controls are workable, the enhanced mode just left a lot to be desired. I think for me it was the almost haphazard way the bolts of lightning you shoot (instead of missiles) streak out, which makes it very hard to time your shots. It’s not a horrible game, but it’s one you definitely want to try before you buy.
