Knuckle sandwich: new Sonic Rivals 2 screenshots

Knuckles the Echidna have always been a favorite of mine – it’s just a pity that we never see him use his fists much. Now, in this screenshot update of Sega‘s Sonic Rivals 2 for the PSP, we see him and the other members of the Sonic the Hedgehog cast duking it out one-on-one, fisticuffs style. One-two punch!

The graphics are looking quite sharp in this eye candy update, and the vibrant colors are very much welcome – as characters from the franchise have always been identified with a single color. The environments are quite detailed, and the attacks look awesome in such that they not only look painful, but take into account the character’s main abilities (like Knuckles’ own rendition of the Shoryuken). The pick of the litter? Shadow giving Silver the boot in the waterfall stage. Unintentionally funny, and yours truly laughed.

Sonic Rivals 2 is definitely looking great – not only as a throwback to the original games’ sensation of unbridled speed, but also gives players the neat ability to dish out some pain as well. Enjoy!

The other screenshots after the jump!
