The way the Advance interacts with the Cube is flawless, and if you have Sonic Advance (and we recommend you pick it up), it's a nice touch, with lots of promise for future games.
Blazes across your screen with incredible graphics, addictive gameplay, and deep play options. Sure, it's not flawless, but it's definitely worth playing.
Esse jogo do sonic para mim e perfeito mas ele tem coisas ruim nele ex: Algumas fases do knuckles e da rouge que vc fica tempo demais procurando as esmeraldas, missoes secundarias delay no spindash de sonic ou shadow, mas tirando isso, ele é perfeito
Sonic and Shadow's levels are great, but every one else's levels are, unfortunately, dull. In the end, 1/3rd of the main game is great but hampered by camera and some control issues.
Although the two-player mode is entertaining, there's not enough variety to keep you going for long, and the quibbles with the camera and the music are the icing on an unsatisfying cake. Avoid.
This might be a very unpopular opinion, but I really don't like this game, and I'll tell you why:
I'm not really gonna cover story elements here, instead let's focus on the gameplay itself.
The game is split into 3 types of gameplay: Speed, shooting and hunting. The speed levels are about what the series does best; high speed action with some platforming thrown into the mix. The shooting stages are about, well, shooting things on a big mech, they're like Gamma's stages in Sonic Adventure 1 but MUCH, MUCH worse, and I'll tell you why in a second. And last, but not least, the hunting stages, which have you hunting for either pieces of the Master Emerald, keys, or just plain ol' Chaos Emeralds.
First, the speed stages, which Sonic and Shadow participate in... Admittedly, they're actually pretty damn fun, like I said before, they do what the series does best, and that is high speed action. Sadly, it just goes downhill from there.
The shooting stages, on the other hand, they're garbage, there's no way around it. These stages are taken by Tails and Dr. Eggman, and it seems that they're worse with Tails, because of the crappy level design, and then there's the enemy placement, oh boy, the enemy placement is complete trash, there are many times where I'm just going through the level, when suddenly, an enemy jumps down, right in front of me, attacking ne, giving me absolutely zero time to react to it. Also, the controls are clunky as all hell, yes, I understand that it's supposed to be like that, because they're in a mech, but these levels more often than not make you go through platforming sections which, due to how the mech controls, are incredibly hard to traverse to.
Then there's the hunting stages, taken by Knuckles and Rouge. These levels have received a MASSIVE downgrade from their Adventure 1 counterparts, in that game, if you were close to an emerald piece, no matter which one it was, the radar would let you know, in SA2, the radar only detects one emerald piece at a time, and this is where I raise the question: Who the hell thought that this was a good idea? Have you ever heard of the phrase: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", Sonic Team? All this does is extend the time spent in these levels tremendously, making them more tedious in the process, and to top it all off, most of these levels are so goddamn massive! So some of them might take you forever to beat. One of the levels who are extremely guilty of this is Rouge's Mad Space, I swear, this is the worst level I've played in a game, period, the idiotic anti-gravity mechanics, the overall massiveness of it, the fact that you can only search for one emerald piece at a time, and also that the hints are in reverse! So, if you reach this level, good luck, because this level is just garbage.
Another thing that I want to point out which affects all of the characters is the camera, there are way too many times where an object obstructing my view, which often results in me getting hurt or falling to my death.
One of the few highlights of this game for me (apart from the Sonic and Shadow stages) is the Chao Garden, it's quite a nice way to relax between stages, and raising Chao is pretty fun, to be perfectly honest.
Overall, this is not a very good game in my eyes. Do I think this the worst that the blue hedgehog has to offer? Of course not, there are definitely worse games out there. Is this one of Sonic's best games for me? Hell no.
