Nice fan game, even nicer soundtrack
There’s this oneSonicfan game that has been sitting on my hard drive for a while now calledSonic Before the Sequel, a prequel to the events ofSonic the Hedgehog 2. From the little I have played already, it’s quite the fun little gem that keeps the Genesis-eraSonicspirit alive as SEGA continues to tweak the hedgehog for modern platforms — 15 years sinceSonic Adventureand onlynowstarting to get the hang of the third dimension.
A couple weeks ago,Before the Sequeldeveloper LakeFeperd released a follow-up entitledSonic After the Sequel, which obviously chronicles the events immediately followingSonic 2. If you are itching for that sweet 2DSonicnectar and can’t quite stomach the changes Dimps made to the formula in recent years, you need not look any further.
But the big highlight of this project, and what elevates it to god tier, is the game’s absolutely insane original soundtrack available for standalone downloadhere. Ignore the music in the trailer above, which has been pulled directly fromSonic CD. The real thing, which also includes remixes from pastSonictitles, is simply indescribable. I don’t think you may truly understand how good it is without a fewsamples, so I’ve taken the liberty of posting some samples below. Enjoy!
