NOTE: This is my first game review so expect it to be not so good and I'm also Portuguese so expect the grammar to be a little bad. Sonic Advance 3 is a great side - scrolling game launched in 2004 for the GBA and follows Sonic Advance 1 and 2 that combines a little of the two games but there's a twist: you can play with two characters at once! Well, actually you control one character and the second one follows you like Tails does in Sonic 2 and 3 & Knuckles, but he is not the only one to follow you. As you progress through the game, you will find 3 more characters (I'm not going to spoil it, because I will not put my Viz or even my account in risk so, go through it yourself) and then after finding them, you see a cutscene and then you can go to the title screen and select Main Game or something > Single Player and select the leading character and the following character. Graphics: 9 Sonic Advance 3 has some great (modern[!]) graphics for all characters and some awesome backgrounds, or example the second zone background is A LOT beautiful (Yeah, I don't like to say that word and when I write "a lot" I really mean it, but some people have different opinions). Sound: 10 This game has an AMAZING soundtrack and even characters have their own sounds but I'll explain that later in the review. Some people even just go to the levels just to hear the music because of how awesome it is! Addictiveness: 9 Sonic Advance 3 is mostly a replay game because you will probably want to get the Chao for the Chaos Emeralds (I had to even watch on YouTube a tutorial on getting all the chao!) and try to get golden medals to unlock stuff. Story: 9 Sonic Advance 3 has quite a big story that is a little hard for me (at least) to explain. As said in the descr Depth: 10 Vizzed asked if it's a game that takes a while to beat or has a lot to do, how big the game is and how much it offers. Well, I rated 10 because > 1st: the game is so big: it has 7 zones with four acts each (on the fourth act, you sometimes fight G-Mel and then you fight Eggman himself, but you always fight Eggman), the final zone and the extra zone as Super Sonic and Eggman (!), 2nd: It REALLY has a lot to do if you want to complete the game 100% (getting all Chaos Emeralds, the extra zone and the boss time attack) and 3rd: since the game is a little hard, unless you are a master, it can take A LOT of time to beat just without all Chaos Emeralds because of its difficulty. And finally, let's go to the final part: Difficulty: 6 The game depends of the difficulty you are: Easy or Normal (I always play games on Easy mode because I don't like hard stuff). However, the game is a little medium in difficulty because: I will first explain the easy things: the controls, where the A button is to jump, B button to attack (Different teams have different attacks) and the R button to do 2 things: hold it to do a Tag Action (new ability) and release it to do it on the ground or in the air and you also can do the Air Action (already in Sonic Advance 2) but only with the teams: Sonic & Tails, Tails & Sonic (yeah, just because they are the same characters, they don't do the same things, well, they have their own same attacks but Tails is not gonna do Sonic's attacks or vice-versa), also Amy & Cream and Cream & Amy, when you are launched by a ramp, spring, that "hand-spring" that appears mostly in the first zone, which the characters hang on them and launches you up and the "spinning hanger" which the characters hang on and then, when you press the A button and then the R button, you can do it, even in ball form, and your character says a word or something I talked about before and on the end of the level they say something too. The other easy thing is the first zones. Now there are only two hard things: Getting the Chao and the last zones! But don't worry, there is a "Hub World" that contains even mini-games to regain lives but I think you'll be relying on save-states to never lose a live or to save after a part on the level that you took a lot of time (I didn't mean a lot really now) to pass through so if you lose a life you start after that part and regain that life but you also have checkpoints to save your progress but if you press Start and select Quit you'll go to the Hub World and then you have to re-do the level again if you didn't use save-states! Well, with this, I rate this game 9.8 overall. I didn't rate 10 because of the hard things it has and because it hasn't got a Chao Garden. SuperSonic780 Out!

I liked Sonic Advance it was a fun game. I thought the teammate idea was useless though. Great review, for your first review that was incredible. There was a lot of detail and there were not very many typos. Great job, I hope you do more reviews. Great review, for your first review that was incredible.

Thanks for all of you guys! Earthwarrior, I really love sonic games. Eddy88, you also have very good reviews, for example, the Sonic 3 & Knuckles one. G@meHe@d, the team-mate thing can be useless in one way but it may not be in another, for example, Amy & Knuckles, try to use her hammer on the ground, it's devastating! And yeah, I would've already done more reviews before but I was shy to do them... Since I'm Portuguese, I tried to write less typos... Earthwarrior, I really love sonic games.
