    The fastest of the Sonic Advance trio, and arguably the best. Pros: Excellent graphics, control, and sound; witty level design; lots of new moves and characters to play. Cons: Bad boss battles; secondary multiplayer.

    The fastest Sonic Advance of the trio. Pros: Excellent graphics and control; new moves; witty level design; variety of characters to play. Cons: Additional features such as mini-games would've been fun; bad boss battles; secondary multi-player mode.

    Sa2 is a good game that will keep you busy for awile with its chaos emerald collecting which is used to unlock features in the game. the game is faster than sa1. the bosses do get annoying, but over all, it is a great game that goes good with your collection. i gave it a 9 because it is one of the best game so far on the gba, but nothing much new, but that can be a good thing for change can sometimes be a bad thiing. the multiplayer is a must play as well. i very recommend this game.… Expand

    It takes a tried, tested, and thoroughly flogged old genre and injects some more speed and ingenuity into it, and there's a heck of lot of replay value here, even if the game's levels can probably be beaten in a few hours.

    Slight negativity aside, Sonic Advance 2 represents Sonic at its best - fast, slick, looking great and offering yet more of those bonus features (now unlockable, however). Whilst technically there have been better Sonic games, none have managed to quite capture the frantic essence of speed and style like this does.

    People looking for a good side-scrolling game will enjoy it and Sonic fans everywhere will be delighted at another chance to return to the old-school roots that made Sonic so great back in the day.
