Sonic Rivals 2 is the sequel to Sonic Rivals. The game was developed by Backbone Entertainment and supervised by Sega Studio USA, exclusively for the PlayStation Portable handheld videogame console. Sonic Rivals 2 was released on November 13, 2007 in North America. Like the original, Sonic Rivals 2 was not released in Japan.
Sonic Rivals 2 features eight playable characters, including all five characters from the previous title. All characters use Homing Attack and Spin Dash to move through the levels. Collecting Rings or destroying enemies will also fill the Signature Meter; when the meter is full, players can use a character-specific Signature Move to gain an advantage. For example, Shadow's "Chaos Control" move has the ability to slow down the other player's movement for a few seconds.
The character roster is split into teams of two, with each team having its own story campaign that tells the events of the game's story from their perspective. The game begins with a series of mysterious Chao disappearances, which Sonic and Tails decide to investigate. When the Master Emerald also goes missing, Knuckles and Rouge team up to find it. Elsewhere, Shadow is contacted by Doctor Eggman, who is once again being impersonated by Eggman Nega; he asks for Shadow's help in stopping Nega's plan, offering Metal Sonic to aid him. Meanwhile, Silver returns from the future to prevent Nega from releasing an extradimensional creature known as the Ifrit by rescuing the missing chao; he is aided by Espio, whom he comes across on his quest.
