| sonic adventures 2 rules | | A gamer from usa says (20/Aug/2003): | sonic rocks expeshally chao world. there is only one part i do not like about chao is that they can die at age 5.( you can bring a chao to the chao doctor to find out the age.)there are lots of cheats in the game. if i find one out i try it. my farite type of chao is a nuetral chaos. there are six chao types hero, dark, nuetral, hero chaos, dark chaos, and neutral chaos.
| Sonic Adventure 2 Battle | | Keith from Shallotte,North Carolina says (16/Aug/2003): | I gave this game an eight because I thought that the graphics were O.K. and the voice was fine, but the thing that I seemed to have trouble with was the levels. They get really hard after the 4th or 5th level. I am a big Sonic fan and that's what made me check this out and I ended up enjoying it, however I spent most of my time in the Chao garden trying to rais my Chao to the maximum. The problem is the only thing that you can gain without going anywhere is the nuts. In the other games I hope that the gardens get more and more bigger and concentrate more on the chaos and count it as an extra game, not a mini-game but an extra game. Or even make a game just about chaos! Now that is the best idea I have ever had! ........Shadow is a pretty good charater. And Sonic is a trademark. Metal Sonic should be one of the adventure charaters. I hope other people agree with me. If there is another Sonic game it should include most of what I just said. And that is what makes me give this game an eight.
| DUDE!!! THIS GAME IS THE COOLEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! | | Shadow the ultamate life form from Morrison CO USA says (16/Aug/2003): | I give this game a perfect 10 because of the graphics the gameplay the everything!!! I've always loved Sonic. Knuckles was and still is my favorite charactar. I whole-heartedly am hoping for a Sonic Adventure 3. The only thing I didn't like was the part where Shadow dies. He's my other favorite charactar!!! Other tahn that this game is a must-have! It is Super fun to play with friends. My friend Britt and I had a blast for hours on two player. Oh, and the chaos... The chaos are cute and fun to play with! Especially when they get older... I love this game and again, I hope they make more!!!

| From chao to boarding to racing to movie type stories this game has it all. | | Victro from Fairborn, OH USA says (13/Aug/2003): | Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is an old Dreamcast game made to date. Sure, this is an old Dreamcast game. Is that bad, though? Not when you can choose whether you want to do the Hero or Dark story, have a superb and long story, great bosses, loads of multi-player, and loads of great music, just to name a few. There is a lot I am going to cover here. I never had a Dreamcast, but this game really has proved to be better than one. I think I will start with the 8 characters for one player. They are as follows: Tails, Knuckles, Sonic, Super Sonic, Dr. Robotnik, Shadow, Rouge, and Super Shadow.
Miles Tails Prower is now using a big machine instead of his two tails to fly. Using his huge intellect, he adds in a special feature to the Tornado 2. (Known as the Tornado in the game.) This makes it turn into a robot. In Tails’ stages, you basically have to shoot enemies with Tails’ Volacan Cannon or lock on to enemies with your laser. If you lock on to enemies, you get bonus points, depending on how many you locked on to. Tails’ Tornado 2 also has a hover ability in which you can travel long distances. There are also Level Up Items for Tails that upgrade his weapons. These three things make Tails a little more enjoyable because he is not flying anymore. I still think the old Tails is better. Tails plays an important role in the story. He normally is referred to Sonic’s sidekick, though. Plus, whenever Tails does something, Sonic tries to do something better. For example, in the last stage, where you are five characters, it makes seem as though Sonic did it. Even the little symbol for Cannon’s Core is Sonic’s, but I think it should have been everybody’s. One bad thing about Tails, in the story, is that when he thinks Robotnik is defeated, he really isn’t. He isn’t as easily tricked as Knuckles, though. Tails can also drive the tornado 2 cart. This thing can transform into loads of things. Unfortunately, Tails has no super form in this game. Tails’ control is good, but he is slow. That Tornado machine is a big machine that Tails could have made a lot better, or could have skipped a machine all together, and use his two good old tails to rescue the planet, and sometimes Sonic. Sonic may not say it, but he depends on Tails a LOT. The music for most of Tails’ stages is superb. I think his theme song was good as well. I think Tails is an excellent character, but would have been superb, if he was not in that machine.
Knuckles the Echidna’s stages are treasure hunting stages. I now own Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut. That treasure hunting was too easy. This one actually gives you a challenge. This game has some hard, but nice riddles. Your detector is also a bit harder. This game has 3 colors, instead of 5. Knuckles’ camera angle can sometimes be impossible, though. This happens if you’re scaling a wall you’re climbing, and then it all of a sudden changes its view to the room behind the wall. This really is a downside to Knuckles’ stages. I don’t like the riddles for Meteor Herd because they are riddles like “Next to a yellow star.” Well, that could mean anywhere that has a star symbol. Knuckles part in the story isn’t that great after the first time you see him mainly because there hardly is any story there. It gets back into buisness after he finds the keys, but it mainly is a mystery how he gets to places like Pumpkin Hill. When the stories intersect, you wonder “How did Knuckles get there so fast?” I also do not care too much for Knuckles music, but maybe other people would. His music is basically rap most of the time. With those errors Knuckles has, he is a great character.
Sonic the Hedgehog is what you COULD call the main character. I think it’s Tails, but enough of that. Sonic is the only character that hasn’t changed from the other Sonic games. In his stages, you basically race to the finish. This is where the true Sonic feeling comes. You don’t have to stop most of the time. You have to occasionally figure something out, but it’s usually pretty easy. Sonic is a character that boards sometimes, such as in Metal Harbor. This is my most favorite thing about Sonic. You better hope you don’t have to go turn around because the camera is terrible when you turn around. The controls are simple, with only two buttons needed, yet they are very difficult to master. I don’t like the timed City Escape because I can’t use my trick in Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut for the key to speed. That is pressing B all the time. In this game, you have to charge for a second, which takes you more time than what it’s worth. Sonic’s music is superb, especially his theme song, “It Doesn’t Matter”. His role in the story is very important. He rescues the world from the Eclipse Cannon, with the help of Tails, Amy, and Knuckles, of course. Sonic is an excellent character with the abiltiy to go at the speed of sound.
Super Sonic is Sonic’s super form. He can become that once he gets all 7 Chaos Emeralds with him. There is only one thing to do with Super Sonic, a boss. This boss is actually hard, even after you have beaten it. It is a boss where you’re in space. I won’t ruin the rest of the story. I will tell you the music can really get you into doing the best you can do. It is superb. Anyway, Super Sonic is great, but would have fared better if he had at least one stage.
Dr. Ivo Robotnik is in one of the same machines Tails is in. (Isn’t it a coincidence that they designed 2 machines that work exactly the same?) In Robotnik’s stages, you have to shoot enemies and race to the end as in Tails’ stages. You can use your Volcan Cannon to shoot wooden boxes, and with a hidden secret on Prison Island, you can shoot metal boxes, too. You can lock on to enemies with your laser, and get bonus points. It can destroy enemies in the vicinity of where the area shot with a secret also on Prison Island. You can also increase your health, as well as hover to get to far away and get that health increase. Robotnik is the main character in the Dark story. He wants to control the world at all cost, or so he thinks… I like him because he is a villain, and you normally can’t see an antagonist’s plans, as you can with the villains: Robotnik and Shadow sometimes. His camera angle CAN be troublesome at times, but normally isn’t, just as Tails’. His controls aren’t too difficult. Robotnik’s music is superb! His theme song is the best. Robotnik is an excellent character as Tails is because they are basically the same character.
Shadow the Hedgehog was created by Professor Gerald Robotnik. For more information on these two character’s history as well as Maria’s, check out Sonic #98, the Dreamcast Adaptation of Sonic Adventure 2(basically the same as Soinc Adventure 2 Battle. In shadow’s stages, as in Sonic’s, you have to run to the finish. You can get Level Up Items that let you run on a path of rings at the speed of light. Again, I can’t use my B trick in Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut to go fast because it takes time to charge. I think his stages are great! The music for Shadow is good as is his theme song. His role in the story is very important to Robotnik. As he tells him how to destroy the world. I think this role is great. Shadow is an excellent character with a very mysterious mystery.
Rouge the Bat is a treasure hunter like Knuckles, except her incentives are jewels and Knuckles’ are protecting the Floating Island. Rouge is out to get the pieces of the Master Emerald, but she also has objectives such as getting 3 Chaos Emeralds, getting keys and driving a cart to catch up to Tails’ plane. I don’t like Security Hall because you have a time limit. It took me a whole day to finish this level so I got all 5 objectives an “A” because I had memorized where all the Emeralds were. She can dig as well as deliver some powerful kicks. I really do not like Rouge’s music very much. The camera can get very troublesome at times. Rouge’s role in the story is a government spy to find out what the Ultimate Life Form is. She doesn’t act like it, though. In fact, she destroys Prison Island. Rouge is overall a great character to use because the treasure hunting is great and that is what you do most of the time with her.
Super Shadow (I hope I have the name right.) is Shadows super form. When he gets all 7 Chaos Emeralds, he can transform into Super Shadow. He has only one boss that he shares with Super Sonic. It is the best I have ever played. The bad thing about this boss is that you have a time limit of 4:59:99. The story is something I won’t explain, but it is superb. The music is what the one from Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut is. It isn’t mysterious. I think that Super Shadow is a great character, but only because he has one boss and nothing else.
The addition of being able to choose between Hero, Dark, or Last is an excellent thing to have in this game. Not very many games have this feature. If you want more information on what this story’s origins are check Sonic comic #98. This gives you the story of part Rouge’s government work, where Robotnik learned about the ultimate Life Form, a chase of the government capturing Sonic the thief, (They thought he was the thief.) and Shadow the hedgehog’s history. I like how this game clears up all information in the long story in last, just as all Sonic Adventure series games do. The script for the story is nice and long. The actor voices weren’t that bad, either. I like having the ability to be on the Dark side, but I wish you could actually conquer it. The Last story is basically another Hero side story. Other than that, whoever thought of having two stories, I give them lots of thanks for this addition. The stories are also nice and long. It took me a whole 3 hours just to finish one story. I think the story is excellent.
The bosses on this game are actually hard sometimes. When you’re fighting Robotnik at the end, the Biolizard, and the Final Hazard are all bosses that I still have trouble on. (I have had this game for a year and 2 months, too.) This is something you rarely see in a Sonic game or any game. That is why this is my most favorite game. If Sonic CD had hard bosses, that would be my favorite. The bosses basically come at the end of a stage sometimes. They do not come after every stage like older Sonic games, but come regularly. I like how there is a mode where you can try to get the fastest time done on every boss for each story, or you can do all the bosses. I wish they would let you type in your name, though. The bosses at the beginning are easy if you are used to the controls for that character. The first boss I ever did was the one with Shadow. It took me loads of tries to figure out what to do, but after that, I never died again. The same thing happened to me on the Biolizard. It took me many tries to figure out what to do on the pink bubbles. I think the addition of hard bosses is great. The bosses also have great music. Overall, I think the bosses are superb.
There are things to get in this game called emblems. You get these for completing something. I will tell you all the ways you can get them. They are as follows: beat the 5 missions for a level, win chao races, beat chao karate, win all the cart races, defeat the bosses in Hero, Dark, and All, and get the all A rank for all the missions.
If you complete a stage, that is considered beating mission 1 for a stage. This is the easiest and probably best part. The next mission is collect 100 rings. All you have to do in this is collect 100 rings and you have this emblem. I think this is excellent. I enjoy doing this. The next one on the list is to find the lost chao. I won’t tell you what to do, but I will say I think this is kind of fun. The next thing on the list is a time limit. I do not think this is that great. The addition of this was poor. This really is bad when you are on impossible time limits like on Radical Highway. I only had one second to spare! The next thing to do is Hard mode. This is a superb mode because it makes the stage harder. This way you will not be as bored. I think the 5 missions are great for Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.
The next two things are the chao races and the chao karate. First off, I want to tell you about the chao. Chao are virtual pets and grow and mature based on how you treat them. I think the chao alone are well worth your money for Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. I found out that sometimes if you have too many chao, you want to get rid of them. At the same time though you think to yourself “I payed good money for these chao, so I can’t get rid of them.” What I have is one super powerful hero chao named ca-cag9, one baby dark chao named Meowth, a couple to throw around, and the others just to look at. If you get a chao that is powerful enough, you can get it into chao karate. There are 4 levels of play, and you get an emblem for each one you finish. The chao karate is pretty fun because you get to watch your chao fight. Unfortunately, getting a chao up to level 99 on Super is a long and tedious process. Nevertheless, I still think chao karate is great. If your chao is good in all areas, it is ready to be entered in chao races. You do not get to control your chao when you do the races so it can be boring. The only problem is that you need a hero and a dark chao in order to finish all the races. This is something I have not yet accomplished. It will probably take you at least 48 hours to get your chao race emblems totally done. Istill think the chao races are great, though. Another thing you can do with your chao is take them to school and get them checked with doctor. I think the doctor is useless and lies because I threw my chao about 20 times and he still said my chao was healthy. I like how the chao will play, sing, or do anything else they learned from school. There is also a Black Market to visit. You can buy various items here with your rings. One thing I would like to do is buy Amy’s and Omochao’s theme voices. They seem to only be there when I don’t have enough. I think the addition of the chao was excellent.
The cart races are where you race in a cart. There are three tracks that you can do. I think there should have been more, but they couldn’t have had all the other great stuff if they had. I will tell you more about cart racing. If I’m not mistaken, you get an emblem for every track if you come in first. This was a great idea because that way people will do the cart racing and find out it’s superb.
Defeating the bosses is not really that bad. In fact, I really like doing bosses. There are three excellent modes to choose from that each have their own challenging bosses. Make sure you have enough lives for All because some of the bosses are very hard. This is a superb thing to have because on other games I feel there is no way for me to die unless I mess up. There are some really great bosses like the Final Hazard, the Biolizard, and the second Dr. Robotnik. Overall, I think the boss idea of getting emblems was a superb idea.
The next emblem you can get is the hardest. I am talking about the all A rank. This is something even I have not yet accomplished. I have had this game for a year, two months, and eight days, to date, now, too. This is the reason why this game will last you a LONG time. I like games like this. I know that some of them seem impossible, but they’re not. I thought that about Metal Harbor Mission 1, but now I have all the A’s from the entire Prison Island. It just takes practice, practice, practice. If you do not want to do this, then you can’t get Green Hill, new carts, and new characters. I think it will all be worth it once I get all the A’s. The all A rank was a superb addition to Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.
The multi-player is what shows you can have superb single-player and superb multi-player at the same. Some only have good single, like Star Rogue Leader Rogue Squadron 2, and some only have good 2 player, like Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast. These two games are still really good. It’s just that Sonic Adventure 2 Battle has both. Anyway, there are 8 modes of multi-player. They are as follows: a grinding race, chao racing, chao karate, treasure hunting, shooting, running races, cart racing, and a couple of boarding races.
The grinding race is what it says. You grind to the finish line. This is actually pretty boring. It requires no skill except pressing B. Well, I guess it could require skill of knowing when to turn your player based on when you turn. This is something you do not want master until you have mastered everything else in the game. It is not very helpful. I guess it’s a little helpful in one-player, but when you’re there, you do not have to be skilled. I thinking the grinding is a terrible addition to the multi-player lineup. (Don’t worry. Everything else is a LOT better.)
The chao racing is something I never use because I have only one good chao. This is good if you have a friend that wants to test their chao’s racing skills against yours. This is the same with chao karate. The only way to put your chao from either Sonic Advance, Sonic Advance 2, or Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut is to use the Game Boy Advance. I can’t rate this fairly because I never really have used this.
The treasure hunting is basically the same as the treasure hunting in one-player, except you have two players instead of one. What you have to do is get two pieces of the Master Emerald or two Chaos Emeralds before the other player does. Each character has his or her own strengths. The following are the 4 characters: Knuckles, Rouge, Chaos 0, and Tikal.
Kunckles is the same in multi-player as he is one player. He has the ability to glide, dig, and punch. I don’t think you can use the Air Necklace to breathe underwater. There is no story here, so I can’t say anything about that. I will tell you he first appeared in Sonic 3 the Hedgehog. That was a great game for him to debut in. Since then, he has appeared in many other Sonic games. I will not list them all. First of all, there are too many, and second of all I do not probably know them all. You can use attacks such as freezing his opponent. In treasure hunting, Knuckles is an excellent character.
Rouge is the same in the game as in multi-player. She can dig, glide, and kick as before. She can use almost all of her Level up Items. There is no story in multi-player with her. She first appeared in Sonic Adventure 2 and also appeared in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. She will make another appearance in Sonic Heroes. This is great. Finally, she will also appear in the great new TV show, Sonic X. I will say nothing else. In multi-player you can also use various attacks like the Black Wave. Rouge is an excellent character in multi-player.
Chaos 0 is the mysterious monster from Sonic Adventure. He is the slowest character in treasure hunting, which is bad because you need speed here. He makes up for this in special maneuvers you can use if you experiment with him a bit. They are pretty cool. Chaos 0 has no story in multi-player. (No one does, so I will not say this any more.) Chaos 0 first appeared in Sonic Adventure. He also appeared in Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut. His attacks are a lot better in multi-player than everyone else’s because they are more powerful and last longer. Chaos 0 is great only because he’s slow.
Tikal is a member of Knuckles’ tribe. She is the fastest character you can be except she has no green light to tell you where to find the Emeralds. She only has yellow and red. Tikal first made her appearance in Sonic Adventure. She also made a premier in Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut as a ball of light most of the time. Her attacks are the worst of all. She is pretty weak in that. She is an okay character because all she has is speed that really isn’t that much faster, so use her in small stages.
The treasure hunting for multi-player has large and detailed stages for most of the levels. There is Mad Space for people who are treasure hunting freaks. (This level normally lasts 5 minutes or more.) There is also Security Hall for people who do not like treasure hunting that much but still like it. There is also Planet Quest for the weak of heart in treasure hunting. All of the stages are excellent for me. I like Security Hall, Mad Space, and Meteor Herd. Overall, treasure hunting is an excellent game.
The shooting battle is different in multi-player than it is one player in most stages. The only thing different is that the objective is to destroy your opponent instead of racing them to the end. On a couple of missions you have to race to the finish. There are 4 characters to choose from. They are: Tails, Dark Chao Walker, Dr. Robotnik, and Chao Walker.
Miles Tails Prower has the same controls in multi-player as he has in single-player. He can shoot the other person with his Volcan Cannon, his Laser Lock On, or the attack he can use when he’s real close to enemies. Tails made his debut in a superb game, Sonic the Hedgehog 2. He has appeared in loads of other games, too. There are too many too many to say. With some rings, Tails can use some special moves like a Power Laser or Rocket Launcher. Tails’ speed is normal. This is pretty neat. He is great for matches where you are on a reasonably sized stage. Overall, Tails is an excellent character to use in multi-player.
The Dark Chao Walker is a machine with a dark chao in it. The game says it was created by Dr. Robotnik. It is actually pretty neat. Dark Chao Walker is the slowest character, which is okay in this game if you’re in a small stage. He makes up for this in stronger attack power and more powerful stamina. As far as I know the Dark Chao Walker made its debut in this game. I know that the dark chao made its in Sonic Adventure. It has also appeared in Sonic Advance, Sonic Advance 2, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and Sonic Pinball Party. The Dark Chao Walker’s special moves are a lot more powerful than everyone else’s. Overall, the Dark Chao Walker is an excellent character.
Dr. Ivo Robotnik, also known as Dr. Eggman, has the same controls in multi-player in multi-player as he does in single-player. He is an average character with average speed like Tails. That is pretty cool. He first made his debut in Sonic the Hedgehog, and has appeared in almost every Sonic game since then. Robotnik can use special moves like Tails. He is pretty good for stages like Lost Colony. This is the character my dad always is. Even though he has only one match in this, he still keeps on trying. Robotnik is a great character for multi-player.
Chao Walker is the opposite of the Dark Chao Walker. It is the fastest character you can be, (great for those matches where you race to the finish) but has a little worse stamina and firing power. It can get attacks with less rings though, making it harder to defeat as it can fire and then run away. I believe this was created by Miles. As far as I know the Chao Walker made its debut in this game. I know that the chao made its in Sonic Adventure. It has also appeared in Sonic Advance, Sonic Advance 2, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and Sonic Pinball Party. The Chao Walker is great for all the matches. This is the character I always am. It almost always wins the match for me. The Chao Walker deserves a superb because it has speed, but also other things beside that.
The shooting battles are pretty small most of the time, but still pretty fun. There is a stage for a hide-and-seek kind of approach. The others are basically shooting the other player first on small stages. There are also two stages for racing to the finish. All these types are great. Overall, the shooting battles are excellent.
The running races are basically where you run to the finish. There is not much else to say here, except you can attack your opponent in the process of getting there, and the fact that the controls here are third easiest. (Grinding is the first and boarding is the second.) I will go right to the characters. There are 4 of them like the past 2 multi-player games. (That’s if you’re not skipping over some parts of this game review. I don’t blame you if you do So far, if you have read through this entire review so far, you have read almost 6 pages.) They are as follows: Shadow, Amy, Sonic, and Metal Sonic.
Shadow has the same controls in multi-player as he does in single-player. This makes the controls easy to understand. He is like the average character. He has average speed. Shadow first appeared in Sonic Adventure 2. He has appeared in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle as well. He will also come in on Sonic Heroes. This is great. Shadow is one of 2 characters that can use the Spin Dash. This is useful because you can use this to get ahead of people and damage them. He can also use the unique Light Dash. He can also use attacks like Chaos Spear and Chaos Control. Shadow is kind of unfair to use since he gets to do attacks Metal Sonic and Amy can’t. Shadow is a superb character in running multi-player.
Amy is the one who always wants to marry Sonic. She has the same controls as everybody else in multi-player running, making them easy to understand. She is the slowest character not just in this multi-player mini-game, but in the entire game of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. As this is a race, this is terrible to have. She does even get to use the Light Dash ofr Spin Dash. She sort of makes up for this in her attacks. Her Amy Flash, which stops time, can last up to 30 seconds. That is excellent. She can also attack with less rings. That is even better. Amy Rose made her debut in Sonic CD. (My second most favorite Sonic game.) She has made appearances in some other games since then. I do not know which ones. She will come in on Sonic Heroes. Amy can use Speed Up to go Sonic’s normal speed. Overall, Amy only is great since she is so slow.
Sonic has the same controls in multi-player as he does in single-player. This makes the controls easy to understand. He is like the average character. He has average speed. Shadow first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog. He has appeared in many other Sonic games since then. He will also come in on Sonic Heroes. Most people consider Sonic the main character. This is great. Sonic is one of 2 characters that can use the Spin Dash. This is useful because you can use this to get ahead of people and damage them. He can also use the unique Light Dash. He can also use attacks like Sonic Wind and Time Stop. Sonic is kind of unfair to use since he gets to do attacks Metal Sonic and Amy can’t. Sonic is a superb character in running multi-player.
Metal Sonic is sort of like Sonic. He has the same controls as him, except for some reason he can’t Light Dash or Spin Dash. He is the quickest character you be in this game. As you can see, running goes from one extreme to the other. Metal Sonic made his first appearance in sonic CD just like Amy. You may have thought you have seen him in other games, but those are either Mecha Sonic or some form of Silver Sonic. He has been playable in Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut. I think he will return in Sonic Heroes. Metal Sonic has no special attacks. This is pretty bad. He has a shield to protect himself from attacks like Storming Hearts. Unfortunately, this does not stop things like Time Stop. The black Shield is good I guess. Overall, Metal Sonic is an excellent character.
Running multi-player has long stages most of the time. I really like City Escape since it combines running with boarding. These stages will contain almost no puzzles at all, but will have more enemies than other games. I am not counting grinding or boarding as running races. Overall, running races are great.
Cart racing is a game where you race other carts. There are many carts to choose from. I will not tell you about all off them individually. (That would take about 3 pages.) There are only three tracks from which to choose from. This really is a shame. To make a match fair and hard against other CPUs, you could have one player be Rouge and one be Tails. Sonic and Shadow would work the same way, as would Knuckles and Robotnik. Their Kides wouldn’t. Overall, cart racing is a superb game.
It’s hard for me to describe boarding. The controls include only A and moving the control stick left and right. There are only two tracks with boarding. I am disappointed in that. They could have made 2-player for Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut. You can do tricks with the jumps. My dad is always Amy. I am normally Metal Sonic or Shadow. He is actually good at this game. There have been some good moments in this game. Boarding is a superb game.
Multi-player overall is excellent and so is single-player. With many modes, this game has loads to do. This is not the end of my review, though. This game has a soundtrack to listen to. Instead of buying the soundtrack, you get it for free. This has every single music sound you have ever heard in this game. That way, if you want to listen to the full song, you can do that. I don’t think very many end. Tails’ went on for 10 minutes until I finally stopped it. Overall, the soundtrack is excellent.
Now it is time for my closing remarks. First off, I want to tell you how many pages this is so far. It is 7 pages. That is my longest review so far. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle does not only impress me in its in single-player, but also in its multi-player. This is something I rarely see. Right now I have a list of my top 5 games. They are in order, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic CD, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Dr. Mario, and Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine. This means I think that Sonic Adventure 2 Battle deserves 15 stars, not 10. I thank the creator’s of this game for such a great game. This answers the question I asked earlier. Is this game bad just because it’s Dreamcast? The answer is no. In fact, look at my list. There is no game that is very advanced up there. I would just like to say that from chao to cart racing to boarding to superb movie-like stories, this game has it all. There is just so much to do. I’ve had this game for a year and I’m still not done. This game will definitely last you a long time. I know that some people say this is a game with a terrible camera, but do not let that stop you from getting this game. For $49.99 ($39.99 now.) this game is definitely worth your money. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is superb in my rating category, but is also the best game I have ever played to this date.
| This game was truely a work of art | | Ana Liriano from San Diego, CA, USA says (31/Jul/2003): | This game shows a beautiful combination of high speed action game play, 2-player battles, and significant extras.I was highly impressed with the way the graphics were presented, and all the levels.Some may of said the game was easy, some difficult.The levels were awsome, the bosses were sometimes easy, but alot of fun to work on. And the 2-player battles, excelent.And although i never quite understood the meaning of chaos, i still found it pretty cool. In my opinion, this is quite literally one of the best sonic games ever.
| sonic is better | | DAN G from Livermore Falls Maine USA says (21/Jul/2003): | Sonic is the original shadow is a copy and nothing more and at the end shadow even says if you fight the prototype {the professer said someone donated to making me i think it its you sonic} and sonic has more attacks such as magic hands which shadow never learns i try to think about this way shadow is nothing compared to sonic
| Its da Bomb! | | DaRk ChAo from Hanover Park, iIllinois, USA says (21/Jul/2003): | This game was one of the best sonic games created! It was pretty long and challenging. I dont know why anyone else would not give this game at least an 8.The thing i like about this is the chaos. how you can turn them into the character of your choosing. overall this games da best
| Let Me Show You My Real Power! | | Christopher Alexandre from Jersey says (20/Jul/2003): | This was the 2nd game which I got for Nintendo Gamecube and to myself I thought that Sonic was never going to join the Nintendo Company. Then when this game was released my dream came true. This game is very good but then again it can be challenging when collecting all 180 Emblems. They say that if you collect all 180 Emblems with A Ranking you will unlock the Greenhill Zone in a 3D Version. But how can you do that? It will take you ages to unlock that level. Overall, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is a really good game and one game which I'll never forget as it was the first Sega Game for Nintendo Gamecube.
| it is good | | jason from birmingham, alabama says (20/Jul/2003): | i have 143 emblems and this game is fun but tireding...??? but i think this is not the best it could be better. is fun for playing when you are bored. i like the sound test becuase you can listen to sonic stuff.my charachter ratings are 3 for sonic 7 for nukles 7 for shadow 6 for eggman 0 for rough 3 for tails 7/10
| Swell | | A gamer from New York, US says (12/Jul/2003): | I played SA2 and was blown away by the incredible music and story. The music was modern and awesome and was better than many songs today. I even bought the soundtrack. The story was great especially Shadows past, but not much of his history is revealed. Of course the reason for my rating is this, the camera angles and voice talents are awful. When your going through a level and the camera shifts you may be looking at a wall for a while, then when the camera goes back to normal you find that you're falling off the edge. And the voices, Sonic sounds like he has a sinus congestion, Shadow sounds like he has a breathing problem, you can barely hear Eggman, and Rouge's voice just doesnt match her. Also, poor lovable Tails has been glued into a clumsy, giant walker. With his running and flying abilties handicapped he is forced to walk around in giant almost immposible stages where it puts shoot em ups games to shame. Trust me, you WILL die at least once. And treasure hunting. In Sonic Adventure DX emerald hunting was fun because it was easy and lively. In SA2 the hunting is dull and hard. In DX Tikal would lead you right to the emeralds, not just give you imposible riddles like the new computers do. In DX the pieces were big and glowy(is that a word?), in SA2 they are small, dont glow, and are nearly invisible, and they move! Especially in one of Rouge's levels, you have to find three keys while this giant bug is trying to kill you. Difficult, but beatable. Also when both hero and dark stories are supposed to connect, they just confuse you. And being timed in some levels doesnt help in beating it faster. And really you will only have fun the first time through, because after you beat it you can zip through it again in a matter of 1 hour. Even with the many flaws this is still one of my favorite games and Sonic is still one of my fav characters.
| The Hottest Game Ever!!!!!! | | A gamer from Bronx,New York says (8/Jul/2003): | Sonic Adventure 2 has it all!! The gameplay rocks,the characters are totally cool,and the music is extremely slammin!!My favorite part of the game is listening to the rap music because it sounds so sexy and tough!That's right,I said it is sexy and tough!Other than that,the sound and the graphics are really cool and this is a game worth buying!!
| The Sonic Team does it again... | | JayBee from Watertown, NY, USA says (6/Jul/2003): | One of the first things I like about the this game is that it would make a good movie or cartoon series. It plays like the movie with those scenes, and i love the last part of the game the most. Chaos are cool and cute, and the game is challenging enough, yet operates with simple controls. The music is great as all Sonic Team games are, but The really have to do something about the voices and the singers, although I thought the voices of Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge and Eggman were OK, as well as the lyrics in a few Knux raps The camera angles give problems still, but not often enough to get too upset. There is enough in this gfame to play for a loooong time. I give it an 8 out of 10
| Just the GREATEST!!!!!! | | Brandon Jennings from UK says (5/Jul/2003): | This game is the coolest the graphics are great.It's got the best sound and and music.The game play gets easy and hard.I wan't sonic to stay in all the sonic games.The game is REALY fun I could play on it all day.This game is realy different from the other games I play.The value for this game is good.
| I love this game!!!!! | | Cincy from Camp Zama, Japan says (27/Jun/2003): | Hey, all Sonic fans galore! This game is the bomb! The graphics are so detailed, you can even see the little stones that make up the cement just zoom by on the screen. The story line was great, I liked watching and matching the two stories together. It was the first time I saw that you get to be the bad guys, too! Only bad thing is, the game is too short, but that's all right because I spend a whole lot of time in the chao garden anyways, since it doesn't have an ending! It's fun to raise the chao to be the strongest, fastest, and "bestest" chao in the whole world! I also have fun breeding the chao and choosing the types and kinds of chao I want them to be. You also go back to the stages over and over again just to get animals and chaos drives for the little chao! I really think that most of the songs are good on the game, too and the little hidden things tempts you to complete the whole thing as good as you can! The two player mode also gives me and my sister a chance to play around and see who's the better player! I truly recommend this game!!!!!
| This Game is so COOL!! | | Kelli Vanous from Michigan, USA says (27/Jun/2003): | I've been playing video games since I was two, and I really like this game. The graphics are awsome, and I like the story too. Sonic and Shadow are my favs in the game. I do agree, the camra angle could use improving, but the rest is fine. the extras are fun too. Also, I enjoy raising my own little chaos. Mine are adorable! Getting the choice to play good or bad is cool. And when you're done with both, playing a whole new story. I got it for christmas a couple of years ago with a couple other games, and I've practically only played Sonic andventur 2. I think this is a fun game to have.
| thes game is the gest game i've ever played of sonic. | | koool64 from iowa/clear lack/ USA says (24/Jun/2003): | thes game is the best sonic game . all the others sonic game are oky in grafeks but not as good as these game. when i play the game it has me atrackted. my faveorit place is the chao garden. it tock me awiyul to get the dark chao garden thow.
| Knuckles Rockes! So does my Shadow/Dark/Running/Dragon Choa, Eclipse! | | Melissa from Fairfax, Virginia says (18/Jun/2003): | I like Knuckles because he is tight! My chao's are all really cool. I don't like how they die though.... oh well, everything does. Besides, it makes the game more life like. It's a little short though, but the story line, I think, Rocks! THIS GAME IS THE BOMB!!!
| The Best Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | | Chloe Young from Jackson,MO says (17/Jun/2003): | Sonic rocks because you can take care of chaos, play 2 player games,and play 1 player!You can even be the bad guys!You can race,hunt,play chao karate,chao race,Kart race,shooting,and much more!And the end is so sad!And there is codes to win more stuff!
Well...I hope you make the right chioce and choose Sonic Adventure 2 battle!
