I've got a hankerin' for some of that good old-fashioned, high speed platforming action that only Sonic the Hedgehog (circa 1990) can deliver. I've narrowed my potential choice down to two games, both from the sega master system and ported to sega's handheld Game Gear.
Don't be fooled! Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a completely different beast from its burlier brother on the Sega Genesis. As I recall from my brief playtime on my cousin's game gear, this Sonic 2 was frustratingly difficult, so I'm leaning toward purchasing Sonic Chaos. I also have a happy memory of being able to fly as Tails in some iteration of the series, which I've discovered is also featured in Sonic Chaos.
Here's the rub: most game reviewers prefer Sonic 2, while most of the comment droppers seem to prefer Sonic Chaos. What should I choose?
Justin, you could probably help the most.

Sonic 2
I remember this being my favorite level to play. Lots of fun back in the day.

I can't weigh in on old-school Sonic, but I can tell you that I greatly enjoyed (and still enjoy when I play it from time to time) the GameBoy Advance title Sonic Advance (or whatever it was called). They had several titles, but I only ever bought the first one. I really enjoyed it: and when I went back (because of it) and re-played old-school Sonic, I was shocked to discover just how superior (imo) the GBA game was. While it had the same graphics as the older games, the stage layout, baddies, and Sonic-physics were all much better in the GBA game, I felt.
One of my very best friends at college is so good at the original Sonics that in one of them (iirc it's the very first one, whichever one had the casino as World 3) he can get all 6 or 7 or however many there are Chaos Emeralds by around the halfway point (i.e. he gets a chance nearly every stage to attempt it, and almost always gets the emerald on the first try). Crazy. But he's played it so much that Sonic is to him what MM3 is to me.
I have Sonic Rush for the GBA, which is a pretty good sonic game, but nothing beats Sonic 2 for the genesis imho

Nothing spells crazy like "all caps" rants.
For the record, I bought Sonic Chaos. And it was...pretty good.
