As a kid I didn't have the Internet (or this was around the time I originally got it but it was very very slow) and I didn't understand or pay any attention to the stock market or the video game business. So I never knew about Segas downfall at the time, so it was a even bigger shock as a kid to see Sonic on a Nintendo platform. I still to this day remember going into a toys r us and seeing this and having to look twice and well it pretty much blown my 10 year old brain at the time. However with that being said does this game hold up to the genesis originals or does it fall behind read on to find out.

Graphics 8/10- I think this game looks really good, matter of fact I would say it even outdoes the DS games rush and rush adventure. The game is colorful and the sprites are probably the best you will ever see in a sonic game even better then the genesis titles. However the 2 sequels look so much smoother then this one and I feel like there could be a slight choppiness to the game but maybe that's just me.

Sound 9/10- Not much to really be said here other than the typical sonic noises although the game does have better sound quality then most other gba games. I would also like to point out the soundtrack in this game is pretty good. I can't say its my favorite soundtrack in the 2d sonic games but its decent.

Addictiveness/gameplay 9.5/10- The gameplay of sonic advance really shines and in some ways this and its sequels is surprisingly better than the genesis games. Of coarse it is a sonic game so expect a lot of running to be stopped by a spike pit or a enemy but the levels here seem a bit more relaxed then any of the other sonic games. Sonic advance consists of 7 zones with 2 acts each at the end of the 2nd act Dr. Eggman (aka Robotnik) appears and you have to fight him. What's different in this game is the fact that you are able to select 4 different characters at the beginning of the game sonic, tails, and knuckles return along with Amy making her 2d playable debut. (she was in sonic CD but not playable). Sonic plays just like he always does he runs the fastest out of any of the other characters and has the best spindash. Tails runs slower but he can fly short distances probably the best character to use to find the emeralds. Knuckles can punch, glide and climb walls so he is also a great character to use to find the emeralds. Amy on the other hand uses a hammer and is the slowest character in the game and instead of jumping into a ball she has a hammer attack playing with her kinda gives it more of a sonic 1 feeling as there's no spindash but she is really hard to play with

???I would say the game is very addictive as even if you fail you will want to continue. Of coarse once you beat the game you have to find all the chaos emeralds which is pretty time consuming. Probably what most people would find addictive in this game is the chao garden. Basically you take care of a chao (basically a pet) and make him as happy as possible. Although I can't say I'm a big fan of this mode a lot of people are and it is a nice break in the action of the main mode.

story- Again not much can be said here the story is your typical sonic game. Eggman stole the chaos emeralds and its up to Sonic and friends to stop him. Basically when Sega made this they didn't focus to much on the story and instead pretty much focused on bringing sonic back to its roots. Which is fine I don't play Sonic games for the story and whenever the have cut scenes I usually skip them anyway.

Depth/Difficulty 8/10- Sonic Advance is actually on of the easier sonic games to blast threw. The entire game could be beaten in about 2 and a half hours or so in a typical normal play threw. As a kid I did find it hard to get threw the game though but I managed. As a adult the game is a cake walk. However the chaos emeralds are really hard to even find even today, let alone beat the bonus game to collect them so it takes some amount of skill. In other words there is a lot of gameplay to have had here even if the main game is a little short.


overall 9.5- I think this and the other sonic advance games is on of the best sonic games out there and right up there with the genesis trilogy which is surprising since I didn't think it would be good at the time but was shocked. This is back when Sega defiantly had there hearts into the games the made and the sonic advance series (along with battle and pinball party) was on of the last good Sega games for quite a good while up tell recently since they have kind of been making a comeback at least with sonic anyway. Definitely a game you need to own whatever your playing it on vizzed or an actual gameboy this is on of the best games on the system.

positives
+ great tribute to the originals
+levels are very fun some are creative
+on of the most fun gba games out there
+nice graphics and soundtrack

negatives
-game can be short if your just going threw the levels
-you may not even realize chaos emeralds are even in the game tell after you beat it unless you stumble across it
-most zones are obviously copied over from the genesis games with new levels
