Sonic Rivals 2 adds Knockout brawl mode

If Sonic doesn't end up in Super Smash Bros later this year, it looks like you'll have to resort to the PSP-exclusive Sonic Riders 2 for some hedgehog-on-hedgehog ~~action~~ fighting.

Also in the upcoming Sonic Rivals sequel is the ability to play multiplayer with just one UMD, a feature that we love to see in PSP games. Now with this added battle mode and Game Sharing, it looks like Rivals 2 will greatly expand upon the previous game's offerings.

Mario - example of how to take a 2D franchise 3D.
Sonic - example of how NOT to take a 2D franchise 3D.

This sounds like it might be fun especially since it can use game-sharing. At the beginning of your article you said sonic riders 2 instead of rivals.

Yeah, you're getting your PSfanboy wires crossed, Sonic Riders 2 is for PS2 (and Wii).

I think that, in terms of perspective and level design, some kind of hybrid between this and Secret Rings would be the ideal 3D Sonic game

But not very well.
