Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on XBLA

This week’s XBLA game is none other than Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Funny, considering the Virtual Console got Sonic the Hedgehog 3 this past Monday.
With his new Super Spin Dash and “Tails” the Fox, Sonic is back and better than ever in Sonic The Hedgehog 2! Defy gravity in hair-raising loop-de-loops, bounce like a pinball and race like lightning. Play against friends at home or against others over Xbox LIVE® in this classic game.
- Classic Sonic action: One of the world’s most famous video game characters comes to Xbox LIVE in one of his fans’ favorite titles. Experience the thrill of the fastest hedgehog in the universe.
- Enhanced graphics and sound: The game stays true to the original, but takes full advantage of high-definition graphics, with enhanced sound effects.
- Achievements and leaderboards: Take on the challenge of new achievements to conquer, and use the leaderboards to compare scores among friends and the rest of the Xbox LIVE world.
- Multiplayer: Play with a friend at home, or go online and play Sonic and Tails with the world at large.
Ooh, online multiplayer. Shiny.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2, like every Sega Vintage Collection game before it, costs 400 Microsoft points. Which is kind of like $5.

They lied, but co-op would have sucked anyway. Tails would always be left behind. Everyone is saying the online vs. is broken due to lag, by the way.
Also the sound isn’t even enhanced, it’s just worse due to emulation errors.
