Sonic Advance

THE BAD:
After you have completed the game with one character, it gets boring doing the same with every other character. Also, some of the bossess are a bit tedious, and some of the levels seem to repeat themselves a bit. Also most of the levels you can complete with your eyes closed. I tried it myself.

SUMMARY:
All sonic games are good, and this game expecially is a good game for the Game boy Advance. It has sharp graphics, fun levels, and endless fun! Doing the levels with knuckles is the easiest, but if you like a challenge, then sonic by far is the best. Once again, a lovely new title to the sonic series!

SUMMARY:
I love Sonic, So I love this game. (I even made my avatar by repainting a sonic sprite), You can see it by visiting my page (www.freewebs.com/alphacomix). Anyway If you like Sonic games: BUY IT, if you want cool graphics: DONT BUY IT.. I dont care about the graphics myself. I loved the game (but I like playing with my dog more)

THE BAD:
Not much I can say here. However, I wont put this in the good even though I think it is. Amy Rose cant spinball. I think it makes the LVs mre challenging, but good is in the eye of the beholder.

SUMMARY:
Sonic Advance 1 satys true to the original games and (as I stated earlier) is a must have. As far as most GBA games go, this one is better than most of the new games, and quite few of the old ones. I would take Sonic advance 1 over Metroid Zero Mission (still a realy kick az game) or Mario and Luigi any day. If you are in for a long car ride and have some cash, I reccomend 2 GBA games. Sonic Advance 1 and sonic Battle.

THE BAD:
It is rather boring.

SUMMARY:
It's an OK game..not great though. Because even though it is Sonic. And IMO Sonic is the greatest Video Game Legend ever, the game itself gets boring after a while. The levels are basically all the same! So if you can handle that, go ahead and buy it. But if you can't don't buy it! And remember, I never said it was a bad game...but I never said it was great either.

THE BAD:
Gets a tad boring once you clock it!

SUMMARY:
I would highly recommend Sonic Advance. Using all new graphics and animations, this game is quite interesting. Apart from a few faults (Which every sonic game has), it is a great game and almost guarantees hours of satisfaction! Great graphics and sound make this game 'Way past cool'.

THE BAD:
Oh, you'll see.

SUMMARY:
Look at it this say: Sega's productions have been far from good, especially them Sonic productions-their main industry impact. HOw can they possibly go down at this stage in their process of becomming world-wide divisions, giving games everyplace? But there are some major flaws in the game.

For starters, it's way too short. I finished it, well, all the stages, but even though the mini-games are way-past fun and challenging and the productions that Eggman comes up with kewl, I don't believe this is Sega's productions. It must've been dubbed.

Also, Sonic isn't too fast. Unlike in Sonic Advance 2, you're so...so un-quick.

The Chao Garden is, let's see...from 1-10, I'd say a -11 (the scale shrunk from boredom). Who needs to be a hand, I must ask?

THE BAD:
Its REALLY repetitive, both meaning its levels, and its likeness to old Sonic games. Also its short.

SUMMARY:
Sonic games are known for lasting a while. Sonic 1 went on for ages, and was tough to beat because it was without a save feature. Sonic 2 followed this trend, but getting the emeralds was harder, there was an extra emerald, and there was an insentive to get them this time: Super Sonic. And Sonic 3 was just plain long, but at least it had a save feature. Sonic Advance breaks this trend, and is amazingly short. The game designers also thought they could put a whole heap of 'tricks' in, and the game would be better. Grinding is cool the first time, but gets boring soonafter. Nintendo may think the gameboy advance is SOOOO great, because it kicks the trend of Sonic moving too fast for the screen (except in one very rare occasion), but now Sonic doesn't feel as fast. Also, all the other characters play the exact same story as Sonic, meaning you'll be bored with the other characters before you've even played as them. Don't get me wrong, this is a great game, but Nintendo could've worked harder on it. Also, the Chao Garden SUCKS BAD!!! But its Sonic, and that was enough to keep me hooked for about a month. Blockbuster video rent this game... maybe a better option than buying it.....

THE BAD:
The chao can't evolve into grown-ups without being traded to SA2B.

SUMMARY:
I think that this game is really worth playing. Of course, they go spoiling Robotniks scheme's again, but there's a charm to the game, even though it IS 2D. It has many different qualities and unique stages that no game maker can think of! Very impressive work!

THE BAD:
Not much, some controls, Special stage: you don't know if you're in front of the rings or not! And...I dunno!

SUMMARY:
If you preferred the original series (eg: Sonic 1, 2, 3, Knuckles, etc...) then buy this! If you prefer the Adventure series, give it a look, I preferred the classic series. Another thing is...this game is longer than Sonic 3, but shorter than Sonic 1. Keep that in mind, because it dosn't take you long to finish it off!
