Judging by the trailer, I'm pretty sure this one will be just as good as (if not better than) the original. It's too bad that Knuckles isn't an ally of Sonic's here, but as long as Sonic the Hedgehog 2 isn't a box office flop, maybe he'll realize the error of his ways if Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is made later this decade (that is, presuming Robotnik tricked Knuckles here like in the games).
