SA2's was more epic in scope, but lacked some of the stuff that made SA1 so unique, like ZERO and Amy and Gamma. Also, SA2's story borrowed a lot from SA1. Monster goes out of control at the end, Tails proves he can giterdone without Sonic, Master Emerald's broken... I think they should make a modern Sonic game where collecting the Chaos Emeralds is important to the story, but not part of the story.

Like the very last chapter of the story or an alternate ending to tge game if you go to the special stages in your own time to collect the emeralds, than Sonic simply picking them up on his adventures.
