Okay, let me start by saying:

I don't get the crazy Sonic fandom. I own this game and it is a pretty fun game. It's not Mario, Metroid, Final Fantasy, or Pokemon quality, but I'm reviewing it because it does deserve some mention as one of the better Sonic games since it all started.

This game is your typical Sonic game. Run around, collecting rings, killing enemies, avoid spikes, loop de loop, tralala, OOH GIANT RING, twisty thing, battle a fat guy. Got it? It really is fun, but I don't see why it is so appealing to some people. Still if you like Sonic its pretty cool.


Graphics

Pretty much on par with anything else you'd seen on the system. The enemies are cute, and Sonic has got a pretty sneery look on his face throughout the levels which I think is awesome. Levels aren't eyesores, but they aren't mind-blowing to say the least. However it is better than similar platformers around its time and the special stage at the end looks really nice. It earns a 7.

Sound

I love the music to this game. More than most GBA games, and even some DS games. The music is catchy, boss battles have this wonderful, tense music to them, and even the title screen has a great beat. I would play this game over and over to hear the music. Don't get me started on the Music Plant world. 10, deservedly so.

Addictiveness

The boss battles are fun to replay, and earning faster scores in time trials is quite addicting. The Secret Stage is a blast, though. I also do enjoy Music Plant because it sounds awesome. It really is a fun level to replay. Not much more can be said, but I definitely give it a 9.

Story

Collecting emeralds, save the world, eh I don't know. Really not much of a story, so I won't rate it. If you liked the weak attempt at a back-story than that's fine, but I really wasn't in to it. Meh.

Depth

Well, once the game is beat the replayability is almost entirely time trials, and beating high scores, plus one bonus stage. Not great, but there are eight worlds to conquer. Each world has two levels and a boss battle against Mr. Robotnik. Plus you can be Sonic, Tails, Cream, and I think Knuckles and Amy. I give it a 8 at least, but I'm probably being generous.

Difficulty

This game is tough. Honestly one of the tougher platformers I've ever played. Boss battles are fine difficulty-wise, but Sky Canyon is "tear-my-hair-out" tough. It takes some getting used to, but the controls are easy enough, and once mastered is significantly easier. Still, very tough and mastering is no easy feat. 9.

Overall, I think this is a pretty good game. You can really get in to it, and it passes the time. I wish there were more to do, though. Not by any means my favorite GBA game, but I'm lucky to own it, and would suggest it anytime you're in the RGR with nothing to do.

Nice review,I agree with you. Sonic Advance 2 is a really good but I don't really follow the storyline but overall I also think it's a pretty good game.
