this is a pretty good game but i had a lot of trouble getting past one of the middle levels.i think that the bosses are pretty good too(not too easy or not too hard).

While I am a bonafide Sonic fan, I have to say that this game isn't exactly a good continuation of the franchise. The graphics are decent, but nothing to rave about. The music is typical GBA, but the several levels need to be heard through headphones to appreciate. I was truly disappointed when I found out that each character DOESN"T have a unique adventure. For diehard Sonic fans, this is a good selection, but other than this breed, it is only good for a quick play or an escape from a boring car trip.

I don't like this game but I'm also to much of a Sonic fan to take it back. Sky canyon is impossable with Sonic(I cleared it with Tails and Cream). I have a better chance at beating Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts than getting one chaos emerald! This is the worst game I own!

Sonic Advance, the original, kicked ass last year-- it wasn't too hard, too fast, and was nice if a little short. It had lots of extras and was a very worthy purchase. However, just like Jaws, there was a sequel: And, just like Jaws 2, SA2 is worse than the original. Sonic Advance 2 is almost as hard as the neary imossible DBZ: CCG, which doesn't help if you buy a strategy guide. Enemies are tough as nails to kill: Some boss battles made me want to throw my GBA away. Although the graphics are nice, everything is a fast-paced scene of havoc and gravity seems to be against you through some loops and curves. Speed is of the escence-- which really messes up the extras. See, you gotta collect 7 special rings before you can even get 1 chaos emerald--but levels are more meant for speed than extras or anything else. It's hard enough to get three special rings--how am I supposed to get all 7 chaos emeralds?!?! If you want a tough game that is pretty darn rewarding with hard gameplay and extras, SA2 is for you. The sound and control are near perfect--the tunes are really nice, and your characters control great except for the loops. I am glad to see, though, that the Chao Garden is gone!
