A great improvement over Episode I but still retains some of its mistakes. The main difference in this game is the addition of Tails and "tag actions" which, in my opinion, was both good and bad for the gameplay. It added some new fun mechanics but also made the game much easier (almost every time you fall or mess up, you can use the "flying tag action" to save yourself).
Pros:
+Better level design and fun platforming (GREAT compared to Episode I)
+Bosses and enemies are mostly new and feel more Sonic like
+Improved physics
+Nice new mechanics
+Addition of multiplayer and Red Rings to keep you playing
Cons:
-Game is too easy
-Still uses some recycled material
-Special stages may become irritating
-Why can't I choose to play as Tails in single player!!!??? >:0
Should you buy this game? Yeah, even if you're not a Sonic fan you will probably enjoy it :)
Still... $15 is a little too expenisve so buy it on sale.
