Nope, the only reason Ep. 1 had those "exclusive stages" was because it was the BETA build, and they didn't bother changing the levels. Ep II looks almost the exact same as the console versions with no exclusive stages.


I sware I remember reading something that said E2 handheld version would have exclusive stages. anyone else remember that?

Am I the only one who actually liked the music in this game? It uses a lot more Genesis instruments and I really liked the compositions.

I will give credit where credit is due-- Senuoe did a fine job here. However, there is no doubt in my mind the Genesis titles still have more rich, diverse tracks. I swear, I want to travel back in time and somehow coerce Sega soundteam into making more level music, music for levels that don't even exist. That was some consistently kick ass composition.

Wait, if they didn't fix Super Sonic, then are there any differences between the retail version and Beta 8 at all?

They fixed some lighting and texture issues, but that's basically it.

Just got 100% in the game.

It was very fun. And unlike Episode 1 I played from the first zone to the last (because it was an achievement so I had to). But I really did enjoy it.

Also I beat it, it was okay. Certainly better than Episode I, but some of the later bosses and acts drag on for way too long.

I liked it too XD I listen it all the time on my iPod since it's great, especially Sky Fortress Act 2

It took me 49 Local plays (Special Stage 1) for it to unlock. Beforehand me and Skyler had played and I was Tails about 10 times. Local is apparently the way to go.

I heard a PS3 person say they played as tails well over 100 times online before it unlocked.

I definitely remember this as well. Wonder what the deal is? Guessing it was either a misinterpretation on Ken's behalf or people just haven't gotten them yet.

Ok so the Oil desert boss was probably one of the coolest bosses in a Sonic game for some time.

Enjoying it so far. Also whizzed through Episode Metal. Was that a Sonic Spinball sample in the music of one of the cut scenes?

In b4 TheNo1SonicFan2 kicks your ass.
Speaking of the cheating bastard, he's # 1 on the Time Attack Leaderboards. I'm assuming Sega hasn't done anything about the cheaters?

I bought the iOS version last night to play on my ipad 3 and I do like it a lot on a tablet, some 3d polygon level tiles are slimmed down a little but sonic looks just the same and all the visual effects are there like god rays and water ripples (which are more visible on iOS then on the 360)

I actually like this episode and have played it from start to end on my 360, it's not a perfect game and it's by no means using good classic physics but I enjoy it, episode 1 was so bad compared to this episode they have gone a rather good improvement over that mess.

I'm fairly sure the exclusive levels are for the Tegra 3 Android version, maybe even the Android version full stop. The Google Play store is giving me no indications though.

TSS has a news article about it, though (here).
