 Sonic Advance, a game very similar to the classic games but with it's own ideas. New things that won't make classic fans cry. I can't really put my finger on it but Sonic Team did a good job of keeping the old but still having new. The graphics, game play, more characters. It works well. This game seems more like Sonic Team knew what they were doing but wanted to see what the fans felt. In my opinion the Sequel to this game is better. Doesn't mean this is terrible, no but what I'm saying is Sonic Team put in what the people wanted in the 2nd that this didn't have. For me, this game is super fun and every character is unique without being too different. Especially Amy... She's kinda like hard mode.

The graphics in this game could pass for a pixel art DS game. Seriously, they are REALLY good. Each and every platform is really detailed and so are the characters. The animations are smooth and some even have a sort of 3D effect to them. Even backgrounds are super detailed!
I give it an 8!

Despite the music in this game not being that memorable for me they fit really well in with the level they are put in. The levels are creative and so is the music. The first stage sounds like a jungle coast or something, and the second sounds like you're a spy infiltrating a secret base! They really fit well but could be improved if they were a bit better. I give it an 8!

To be honest, when I beat this game when I was younger I didn't REALLY come back to it. I kinda played it a bit but not properly. I didn't find this with Sonic Advance 2 though. That's partly why I like it better. I'm sure other people probably prefer this one but I never really find myself playing this game often. I'd say this is a 6.

There is a bit to do in this game. If you have a Gamecube you can use the Tiny Chao Garden and make chaos. I don't actually have Sonic Adventures or anything really but I have seen this happen. You can hatch eggs in this Tiny Chao garden, One chao at a time mind you, and send them over to the Gamecube. If you have everything for this, try it out. There are quite a few stages in this game and going for 100% is HARD. I'll explain on that later. By the way here's a cheat code... At the Character Select do ↑ On Sonic, ↓ On Tails, L on Knuckles and R on Amy. In that order. Select Sonic and you should hear a Ring sound. Play and you'll see something cool. I'll give Depth a 6.

As I said, this game is hard to 100%. Really hard. The main game isn't hard at all but 100%... Oh ho ho! The special stages have to be found. They are really hard to get to as well! If you do manage to get in you'll realise the controls are weird and don't work so good. I'm not sure on this Vizzed emulator but I know on GBA sp the controls are horrible. You are falling down a half pipe collecting rings. Because of the small resolution it's hard to even see the ring until it hits your face! I'll give difficulty a 5.

To me, Sonic Advance is a game FAR from perfect but it's not bad. It was a step forward for Sonic Team and it shows in the games that came after this. I recommend you play this game for yourself because you may not share my opinion. It's good in it's own right and REALLY imaginative. It doesn't do generic level design or bosses. I give Sonic Advance a 7.5.

Decent review. I feel that it could have been a lot longer, though. I mean, it was 645 characters and all, but I feel that you didn't have that much detail. But, like I said, it's decent anyhow.

drago : You did a really good job on this review and when I used to have this game on Game Boy Advance I felt the exact same way you felt when playing it and what you said about Amy I swear I said the same thing you said. It felt like deja vu from hearing that then I remembered I said the same thing years ago. Well anyways great review and great dept along with it. Keep this up. And reading this might actually help me improve mines next time. My first review wasn't really a good one it met the requirements but wasn't any good. So thanks for this awesome review.

linkmaster99 : Excuse me I know  you're new here,but plz don't bump anymore threads like this. It was kind of you to compliment his writing on his review and the way he describes the game,but if the thread is old plz don't bump it. because It makes it hard for mods and readers to see whats new and what's old. Local Mods : close plz
