Game Gear was one of those systems that had so many stupid games created for it. I almost sold my Game Gear to FuncoLand back in 2001 just because I couldn't find any good games for it. But then I found Sonic Drift 2. Sonic happens to be one of my favorite video game stars, and when you put him in a cart racing game, that equals hours of fun. This game is just a hand held version of Super Mario Kart for SNES, only harder and better. Other than Sonic, you have the choice of choosing: Tails, the two tailed fox. Knuckles, the pink thing with the big knuckles. Metal Sonic, who is just a cyborg copy of Sonic. Amy, a pink hedgehog. Eggman, who is really Dr. Robotnik. And Fang, who is really just Nack the Weasel from Sonic Triple Trouble. All the characters seem to handle the same. But the 2 hardest CPU drivers are Amy and Eggman. They both have infinite spike bombs which slow your car down. The graphics are quite good for a Game Gear game. No glitches. The music gets a little annoying, especially when you’re struggling to get in first place. The gameplay is okay. The only beef I have is when it comes time to make a turn while going at full speed. The only warning you have to let you know it's time to turn is a little arrow sign on the side of the road. And when a turn comes, you have to slow down to make it without going off course while the CPU can make it no problem at top speed. Good luck trying to find this game anywhere. It must be one of those rare titles because I have never even see it on eBay. And to tell you the truth, I have never seen Sonic Drift 1, but if it's out there, it can't be as good as this one.
