Sonic Advance 2 (Game Boy Advance)

The story of the Nintendo and Sega's relationship is quite curious... They began as enemies on the famous "Console war" of the 90's, which featured the Sega Genesis (Megadrive outside of the USA) and the Super Nintendo. (It may sound impossible or stupid... But the discussions between people about which one of both was the best still exist) On those days, they used to attack each other pets or games through commercials (Sega) or the games (Nintendo). Back then, nobody would expect in what would this war end... With both being "Good friends".

That's it... With Sega making the games, and Nintendo putting it's License on them. Due to this we could see something that any kid or teenager would think of in those years: Sonic in a Nintendo console... The Game Boy Advance was one of the many consoles of the company that had the luck of have some games of the Hedgehog. One of these games is Sonic Advance 2, released one year after the great Sonic Advance... Wanna know if this game was great as his predecessor? Well, Keep reading the today's review, then!

Story: A few months after another crushing defeat of Robotnik (or "Eggman" for some) Done with some help of his friends, Sonic decides to take a brief rest of his "Hero" activities, and explore new lands and, maybe, Have some relax time on the same... That's how he gets to this island, whose name is unknown. Our blue Hedgehog decides to stay and spend some days there... One day, while running through the Island's forest, he hears a claim of help. Once getting to where the scream came from, he sees a Giant mechanic hand, holding a young rabbit and his Chao pet, and behind the Hand, he sees Robotnik, controlling the same. After this brief encounter, The madmen escapes with both prisoners under his power. The Hedgehog soon realizes that he's Searching, once again, The Chaos Emeralds. (This time, to power up his latest Space Station: The Egg Utopia) Then, He goes after the madman, to rescue the kidnapped rabbit and chao, and stop him and another of his "world conquer" plans. (6/10)

 Sometime within the month of May, 2020 or so, I beat the game again as Cream the Rabbit. I've successfully maxed out the game's point counter and have now unlocked Amy Rose.

 As of February, 2020, I now own a physcial copy of this game - I've played through it in its entirety as Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. Only Cream the Rabbit is left to be done now. I have plans to try to max out the point counter - it is possible to do so.

 My problem has been beating the game with all characters; but then the emulator always froze at the starting cutscene of true area 53 when cream's mother was captured and the screen flashes white and stays that way. :(
Sir-metaknight2 09-20-15 - 10:51 AM
 I just hate it how in almost every screenshot, there is ONLY sonic everywhere
marioplayer657 06-21-15 - 12:38 AM
 Can some staff fix the crash in True Area 53 because it crashes everytime.
YoshiJustice4568 04-24-15 - 11:12 AM
 Really good game.

 This is the best one in my opinion. I don't really like Sonic Advance or Sonic Advance 3.
marioplayer657 04-23-14 - 03:30 PM
 Tip: having a problem getting the last emerald? Practice, so you wont forget how to get all sp rings, if you got the last emerald, keep getting the last emerald for all characters, you could unlock amy
