In 1991,Sega released the Sega genesis.At the time of it's launch,there were a lot of great games,and one of those games was sonic the hedgehog.The story of a blue hedgehog named sonic who must stop the evil dr ivo robotnik from turning all of the animals into robots.This game truly defined "Blast processing" A unique feature that the genesis rival the super Nintendo did have.Then came a saying called "Sega does what nintendon't.Then eleven years later,sonic got his first title on the game boy advance.But was this game as fast paced
as the original titles for the sega genesis?

Story-6/10
Ok I'm going to be honest,I do not actually know the plot of this game.The game just opens up with eggman and then they show the playable characters then we get on with the game...WAT? How are we supposed to now the story of this game? Oh well...

Gameplay-8/10
Sonic advance plays like all of the genesis titles,except now you get to play as tails,knuckles,and amy.Then you get into the game,if you haven't noticed,you will need rings in order to survive in the game,these can be obtained from the ground or in boxes.Each of the characters have their own abilities,sonic can do a little attack if you press A in the air,tails can fly,knuckles can glide onto walls,and Amy can use her hammer.Most of the enemies surprisingly return from the genesis titles,the crab guy,the monkey,etc.Well theres all I can say about the gameplay.

Graphics-9/10
Considering this game was released in 2002(One year after the GBA was released)It looks really good! But the same sprites are used for all 3 advance games! Also super Mario bros z.And the backgrounds look OK.

Sound-8/10
Sega is known for their catchy music i:e super monkey ball,and this game is a huge example.Such places as the beach or the glaciers have
quite catchy music,and like always we get awesome sfx,i:e the ring sound we all know and love,or the box effect.It's up there with super monkey ball as Sega's catchiest songs.

Addictiveness-8/10
Like all genesis games,sonic advance is quite addicting,except there are no bonus stages,a major aspect of the original games.At least this game has one thing that made all the other games shine,BLAST PROCESSING!

Depth-7/10
Don't think your gonna finish this game and never play it again,there is some replay value,there's a time attack mode where you can beat your best time or a tiny chao garden where you can care for your own chao or even a vs mode.So there is some depth to sonic advance.

Difficulty-4/10
Ok I admit it,sonic advance is not that hard of a game actually,the only hard part of the game is some of the boss fights,i mean i needed a walkthrough of the boss in the ice world! But now you know why i rated the difficulty a four.

Overall-7.4/10
In my opinion,sonic advance is a great way to bring sonic back to his roots,it's got flair,charm,blast processing everything. Oh well bye!

I've never played this Sonic game before. I have played Sonic Colors before and some other Sonic games, but not this one. I pretty much like the Sonic series, and it is true that they are known for catchy music. Good review

Good review. I haven't really played this game I don't think, but based on the little I just played now, it seems pretty true to the source material. There are a few things that I wish they wouldn't have messed with but overall it's a pretty enjoyable Sonic experience.

FYI Sega Genesis wasn't released in 1991, it was released in 1988 in Japan and 89 in the US. SONIC 1 was released in June of 1991 to compete with Super Mario World. (use google for this stuff, it is your friend)

I remember when the first Sonic came out it was one of the biggest "Wow" moments I had in my gaming lifetime.

Good review!

This is one of my favorite Sonic games... It has all the things that made Sonic popular back in the day. Yep, one of the best games of the Sega's pet.

Keep the good work!

Good, this game. I thought it was the other disgraceful game on GBA, but this series is pretty nice for the system. The Sonic Advance series was perfect for the "new" generation of Sonic games, and just morphing towards the green eyed teen Sonic. It's pretty fun. Gotta go fast!

Has any of you actually noticed that this is a One year old thread?

Jeez.... Guys, Be sure to look at the date of the last post before posting, okay?

Since this got a big bump... I'll close it.
