Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

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.

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!

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!!!!)
