Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

The Good
There was not alot of improvements from the Dreamcast version. The only new things were letting your Chao fight it out and hooking it up to your Game Boy Advance.

The Bad
I really don't have an opinion about it since there were no real changes.

The Bottom Line
It would just be better to buy the Dreamcast version, it would be cheaper too.

The Good
THE GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING!!!! THIS GAME IS TOTALLY ADDICTIVE!!!! PLAY AS HERO OR DARK!!!! THERE IS A SLIGHTLY WEAKER VERSION OF SONIC NAMED 'SHADOW'!!!! 180 MISSIONS!!!! 3D GREEN HILL ZONE!!!! ALL OF THE CHARACTER'S SECRET COSTUMES!!!! THE CHAO ARE THE CUTEST VIRTUAL PET SINCE 'PIKMIN'!!!!

The Bad
Not all of the stages can be played with 2 players.

The Bottom Line
DEFINATELY BUY IT!!!! (if you have sonic advance for GBA it adds on to the fun of caring for and feeding and playing with your chao!!!!)

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?
