Reviews around animation (5.00 of 5)

  • Being an animator, few gamers really appreciate good animation in the littlest of areas (like when any character jumps on a spring board) or the way they complete a level after defeating Dr. Eggman
  • Overall the graphics are good, with amazing backgrounds and animations
  • The animations on eaach character are lovingly lavished, and actually succeed in giving each character some
  • Nintendo's faithful icon had always been the cute `n cuddly Mario Brothers, who laughed and winked their way through colourful worlds with comical bad-guys

Reviews around feature (5.00 of 5)

  • And i think one of the coolest features is the tiny chao garden where you raise your chao by feeding it, playing mini games with it, and if you have gamecube you can hook up your GBA to it and transfer the chao in each game to the other system and raise it
  • This game compiles the best features of the classic Sonic games, its fast, its fun, and they even brought back the pinball night zone
  • But this game has some other nice features to make up for the lack of levels, there are time trials, and a Virtual Pet game called Chaos Garden, the point of the game is to raise an animal named Chao by taking care of there basic needs
  • Many different moves and a very cool feature called the "Tiny Chao Garden
  • Sonic Advance is pure Genesis-esque 2-D fast paced side scroller action that will keep you playing it for quite a while, even after you beat the game due to some great added features.

Reviews around advance (5.00 of 5)

  • Sonic Advance is great for me, seeing as how I never owned a Genesis back in it's day (or any other Sega system for that matter), but I've always enjoyed the rare occasion when I got to play a Sonic the Hedgehog game, and Sonic Adventure just isn't the same... I strongly believe that Sonic is just plain better in a 3-D world.
  • For anyone who loved playing Sonic games on the Genesis, you're going to adore Sonic Advance
  • Nintendo's faithful icon had always been the cute `n cuddly Mario Brothers, who laughed and winked their way through colourful worlds with comical bad-guys
  • What also makes this such a cool game is that you could hook it up to your Gamecube and make this this the best 2-D and 3-D game of all time!!!

Reviews around play (4.26 of 5)

  • It's really fun playing playing as all three characters (not counting Amy)
  • Sonic Advance is probably one of the worst games I've ever played
  • This game not only has the greatest replay value of any game on the Game Boy Advance but it has the greatest graphics and incredibly smooth play control that I have ever seen on a handheld game system
  • This Sonic has more "fun `n play" in the casino level, some new kinds of speedtubes, catapults and springs
  • This game in my opinion is the best game I've played in years

  • Sonic the Hedgehog is one of my all time favorite video game characters, and these 2D side scrolling games bring out the best in him
  • The characters are awful and add nothing to the gameplay
  • I have been playing with tails my favorite character and already reached the 6th zone our of 7

Reviews around music (3.61 of 5)

  • He still loves this game and the graphics are really quite good as well as the music.
  • As always everything is super fast, lots of loops and rings, and theres cool music in the backround
  • The level designs, the power-ups, the cool music and gameplay that next-gen consoles lacked
  • The speakers of the GBA are not strong enough to play the music in very high quality, but with headphones the music is solid and smooth
  • You can even use music from older games as well, but you need to find them

Reviews around sonic (3.51 of 5)

  • Sonic is fast,tails flys,Knuckles glides and Amy uses a hammer and jumps high
  • Plus, there are bonus stages a la Sonic 2, 4 playable characters, and i think Super Sonic is in there too.
  • (Me myself a HUGE old school Sonic gamer I loved this game)
  • Although turning into Super Sonic, as a result of winning them, would have been cool
  • The gameplay is the classic Sonic of old, but with more intricate levels, more moves, different ways to do things

  • The gameplay, graphics, and sound borrow from the classic Sonic games on the Genesis and are successfully translated to the Game Boy Advance
  • The game's single-player modes are relatively short 2-D platform rounds--each run takes two to three hours--but replay value is added through the game's various characters
  • Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy each have different abilities that make getting through the game a unique experience
  • The real star here is the game's link capabilities

  • Having one cartridge lets up to four GBA players compete in one minigame
  • Gamers can play two additional minigames if each player owns a cartridge
  • Although the single-player game is quite good, the link options give the title tremendous value
  • The only notable problem stems from the series itself: There are still entirely too many cheap deaths resulting from the title's high-speed gameplay
  • You'll find yourself zipping along a level only to be hit by an obstacle you had little chance of seeing, let alone avoiding
  • Ultimately, the only way to get past these hazards is to memorize where they are
  • This minor flaw doesn't detract from the game's excellent value, though
  • Sonic Advance offers a very good single-player game and some of the best link options of any GBA title

  • Padilla Pros: Classic Sonic gameplay Outstanding link options Four characters add to replay value Cons: Classic Sonic cheap deaths Single-player runs are short
