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!

THE BEST GAME!!!!

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 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.
