The same as the Dreamcast version.

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.

Great Sonic game, as always

The Good
I've heard this didn't change much at all from "Sonic Adventure 2" on Dreamcast, but I wouldn't know.

Graphics- At least compared to the other "Sonic" games, they're very good. The 3-D realm, which is a relatively old yet not much practiced idea, would make most think its hard to play, but it isn't. It's actually almost too easy.

Gameplay- Very good, the first time around... Unlike the other "Sonic" games, you can save in this one, so it's not the classic 'beat the game in one try or just waste a whole lot of time trying' concept, which in my opinion makes it worse. There's no replay value at all, except for the fact that each mission has five sub-missions, but those get pretty boring and fast.

Sound- Personally, I wish this soundtrack were on a CD, because I really like it! In FMVs the characters actually talk, as well as at the end of each mission, and sometimes in it.

Chao garden- I LOVED this section. I thought it was fun to raise these pets from the egg and try to get them to become what I wanted it too. I still haven't gotten my NiGHTS Chao...

The Bad
It's too easy, and that's that. I beat this entire game (both sides and a bunch of bonus missions) in less than five hours...

The Bottom Line
Any Sonic lover should definitely buy this game, and if your looking for a good game to at least rent, go for it!

A popular Dreamcast title returns to GCN as Sonic Adventure 2 BATTLE!

The Good
Basically, I liked the whole fact that you could play as either the heroes or the villains, and the graphics were mighty impressive as well as the cutscenes. The way the stages were designed and the challenge they give you was pretty darn cool (I could spend literally an hour on the later Knux/Rouge hunting stages). Bosses were cool, and I even liked a lot of the music featured in the game (believe it or not, I'm actually dancing to the City Escape theme right now). And Chao raising can be pretty fun.

The Bad
Tails' English voice acting sucks! Why? Because they used a three-year old kid to do his voice. Every time I hear that god-awful voice I just wish that I could reach my TV remote so I could hit the Mute button, seriously. I was also a bit disappointed to find out that both Hero and Dark stories were both so short. Aside from that, this game is so darn addictive, that I can't find anything else dislikable about SA2B.

The Bottom Line
Sonic fans of all ages, here's what to do: 1: Go to your local store. 2: Pick up this game (no matter how much it costs). 3: Play and have some of the best fun ever. I'll say it once more in case you don't know already: This game's addictive as hell and Sonic fans must go get it now. End of review.
