Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

The Good
The main story mode mixed up the gameplay types pretty well. Sonic and Shadow's speed stages were great. Tails and Eggman's shooting stages were pretty fun as well. The Chao Garden is completely changed from the previous game and will definitely pull in players who like simulations or those that just want to relax. Building a Chao to beat friend's can be a fun waste of time. The Battle mode is a great addition. Taking on other players in the three types of gameplay is good for a quick distraction. The music is, for the most part, pretty good. There tends to be a different style of music for the stages of each character. (Rap for Knuckles, Rock for Sonic/Shadow,etc.)

The Bad
Knuckles and Rouge's stages can just be annoying at times. When you reach those stages the action almost grinds to a halt until you finish it.

The Bottom Line
A really good game. This is how 3D Sonic games should be. Plus it has a 3D remake of the Green Hill Zone from Sonic's very first game! What more can you ask for?

Sonic On The Gamecube?

The Good
In Sonic Adventure 2 you can play as good or dark campaigns The good characters are Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles the dark are Shadow, Dr.Robotnik, and Rouge the bat the levels are played like so level then cutscene then level again and so on that’s right no adventure but more on that later the has sonic having been captured by G.U.N. being mistaken for Shadow the dark hedgehog and he escapes not a very original idea I realize but it’s a platformer Sonic’s stages are the usual run through fight enemies Tail’s are like E-102’s levels from SA1, and Knuckles is once again looking for the master emerald pieces Shadow’s levels are the same as Sonic’s, Robotnik’s levels are like Tail’s and Rouge the bats levels are like Knuckles but instead she’s looking for Chaos Emeralds. In addition to that there is a improved multiplayer from the Dreamcast one



The Bad
The bad in this game is the exclusion of adventure me being one of the few people who I enjoyed the adventure segments and Tails in a mech a now he makes a lot of inventions but still and though the levels are an improvement over the races of SA1 and they can be fun it seems out of place. Graphics are only slightly better than the Dreamcast one

The Bottom Line
Although this game is the worst true Sonic game it still should be part of a fans Sonic Collection.

High speed battle with Sonic and Shadow!

The Good
This game is great! I got this game with my Gamecube, I originally wanted Mega Collection but this is way better. The graphics are good, the gameplay is AWSOME, the music is great, this has alot of Crush 40 music on it.

The Bad
The only bad thing about it is the mouth moving with the voice, but who cares? No one does.

The Bottom Line
This is addictive! I am up to 200 hours plus on my game file clock, this is the most addictive game ever. That is the equivalent of playing for over 8 days straight. U want rings, chaos emeralds, fun and speed? Sonic Adventure 2 Battle has it all. With a great game like this, how could the Dreamcast have failed?
