Gameplay (80%)
Sonic Dash 2 is an endless runner featuring Sega mascot “Sonic The Hedgehog” and his friends. The game play is simple, the blue hero will run automatically, and the player can only control actions such as jumping or rolling with touch screen motions. In order to perform a jump, you touch anywhere on the screen and swipe up, you can collect rings and attack enemies this way. In order to perform a roll dash, you swipe down, and this makes Sonic able to pass below some obstacles.
Graphics (95%)
Sonic Dash 2 looks great on mobile devices. The 3D models are based on the latest game in the series “Sonic Boom”, and even if they were a little downgraded, still look smooth, colorful and are nicely animated. The look overall is kinda cartoony, even the bad guys are round and “cutey”, appealing to a young audience.
Production Quality (97%)
As expected from Sega’s mascot, Sonic Dash 2 is packed with content and it’ll take a while to get all characters and beat all individual challenges. As Infinite Runners go, this is one of the best out there, and it does a great job at adapting Sega’s classic franchise in a mobile title.
Value for your Money (90%)
Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom is free on Google Play and the App Store. You won’t see any video advertising or ‘click here’ banners, but the game has in-app transactions, and you’ll see some offers from the in-game store after you lose or beat a level. It’ll take quite a while to unlock every feature without expending some real money, but the game is pretty enjoyable without maling a purchase.Launch Video
