    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.

    If you’ve played or owned the Dreamcast version though, there isn’t much new to do.
  3. GameSpy

    Blazes across your screen with incredible graphics, addictive gameplay, and deep play options. Sure, it's not flawless, but it's definitely worth playing.

    Unfortunately Knuckles/Rogue gameplay, camera problems, some sound problems and limited replay value hurt the game in the long run.

    I'm more annoyed by the gameplay mechanics and head-spinning level design than I am satisfied.

    Offers a glimpse of brilliance...but lacks the magic that made the original Genesis classic a Mario-worthy masterpiece. [15 March 2002, p.79]

    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 game isI found this game in a box in the attic and thought that I would try it out as the last time I played it way about 6 years ago. This game is the best sonic I have ever played and I have played my fair share. Its a really fun game for the younger the older generations so I would buy it if you can with a 2nd hand gamecube because it is worth it at the end of the day.… Expand

    Favorite game of all time. Despite the Eggman and Tails levels being crap and the Knuckles and Rouge levels being ok, the Sonic and ShadowFavorite game of all time. Despite the Eggman and Tails levels being crap and the Knuckles and Rouge levels being ok, the Sonic and Shadow levels are SO good that this is still the best game I've ever played. Two player mode is awesome too. Physics in the game are amazing too and no Sonic game since has come close to how easy it is to move around in this game.… Expand

The music is great (as with almost every sonic game.),The graphics are sharp (some of the best for it's time.), the story is awesome (just like the first sonic adventure), the gameplay is awesome ( speed and shooting are great, but treasure hunting just drags on, and is the only reason I took off a point), and the voice acting is phenomenal. Before I go, I'd like to talk about the Chao world because it is amazing. You can raise your own chao, and evolve them. You can even put them on your GBA*!

    In conclusion, I really recommend buying this game. 9 out of 10.

    P.S. I should add that if you really want to have fun with the chao function, get sonic advance. It will allow you to do a lot more with transporting your chao.    … Expand

Bottom Line: If you can find it cheap, I'd go for the Gamecube version because there's no sound mixing issues with this one what so ever.… Expand

    Good Music, Good Gameplay, but the one thing it lacked was a good story. The Voice acting, as usual, sucked your mom, and the cinematics CG Good Music, Good Gameplay, but the one thing it lacked was a good story. The Voice acting, as usual, sucked your mom, and the cinematics CG was down the toobs. The Gameplay was a little hard to control and the multiplayer drooled. I guess I should give it a seven, but I still go back and play it and have a great time, so I'll cut it some slack...… Expand
