Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle is an all-new adventure starring Sonic and his pals, that takes Sonic placeshe's never been before! Amazon.com Review: Sega's mascot made his 3-D debut on the Dreamcast, but with the demise of that system the zippy blue hedgehog is popping up everywhere--including on the GameCube. Unfortunately, his first next-gen appearance, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, is marred by the same 3-D camera problems that plagued the Dreamcast version, and the multiplayer "battle" component isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Right out of the gate, players have the option of choosing Hero (Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles) or Dark (Dr. Eggman, Shadow, and Rouge) quests, which are completely different. Sonic and his dark counterpart Shadow traverse levels at warp speed colleting coins and power-ups while fighting enemies in the game's most exhilarating moments. Unfortunately, the other characters are nowhere near as fun to play. Dr. Eggman and Tails fight through levels that require little more than constant button-mashing to shoot an endless procession of enemies, and Knuckles and Rouge participate in seemingly endless levels that require searching for a variety of objects. Graphically, the game is a bit of a letdown considering the processing muscle of GameCube. Models are fairly simplistic, and level textures are sometimes bland. Game Boy Advance owners can use a link cable to download Chao from the game and train them on the go, but the rewards for doing so are minor considering the time investment involved. The main feature this game offers over its Dreamcast predecessor is the variety of multiplayer modes, which are fun but offer none of the depth or replayability of standalone multiplayer games like Super Smash Bros. Melee. Still, they are nice additions--especially the racing games--and round out a flawed single-player component. Sonic addicts who missed this game the first time around on the Dreamcast will definitely want to check it out, but the finicky camera, tedious non-Sonic/Shadow levels in single-player mode, and surprisingly shallow multiplayer components (especially the Chao games) turn what could have been a great game into a mere good one. --T.

 Rating:  - SA2BThis game is pretty good. I like raising chao, but it gets repetitive. Its a fun game with a good story, but I don't like Rouge's and Knuckle's treasure hunting games. Rating:  - On one hand I love this game, on the other....I despise it.Many would argue that the Sonic Adventure series are the only well done 3D adaptations of Sonic, and I would have to agree. I'll start out with why I love this game. First of all, there's guns or anything, its just a fun plat-former, which you rarely see anymore. Its a very colorful game, making it easy on the eyes, and possibly bringing on some nostalgia. It features the blue hedgehog that we all know and love. The level design can be pretty good at times. Almost all of the no crystal levels are ...

Rating: - Loud But EntertainingMy daughter loves this game. It is one of the few that travels between house holds. Mainly I think her father enjoys tormenting me with the noise of this game. However I will say it keeps her and my 4 month old infant son entertained. He has the best time watching her play it. One time he would not let me even take him away from her while she was playing it. Quite amusing to me. She would love it if they just had a game of raising the chos. They are her favorite part of the game. She ...

We'd come out neck and neck, as far as who was better, but he had the small edge and I didn't mind. I'd always pick Amy and she has the illest powers ever. "Just wait a minute!" became my anthem and my friends HATED it! haha The main adventure was damn good fun too. I remember playing this during the summer of 2002 ... Read More |
