# Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Parent Guide Despite its "Everyone 10+" rating, this colorful platformer features surprisingly strong action violence that may be intense for younger children. The fast-paced gameplay and retro difficulty could frustrate players under 10. It's best suited for children 10 and older who enjoy classic arcade-style games.
