For any fans of Sega’s infamous mascot, this is a must game to play. Being their favourite mascot's first outing on a Nintendo console, Sega seem to have taken extra care to make sure that his fans were not disappointed with this game. With all the elements that made Sonic’s previous games a success, Sonic Advance blasts its way through all of its zones with super speed, with plenty of opportunities to grab rings, smash badniks, free animals and collect Chaos emeralds along the way.
The storyline remains basically the same as with all the other Sonic games: The mad Dr. Eggman has hatched yet another plot to steal the Chaos Emeralds and use their power to take over the world! Once again it is up to Sonic and his friends to put a stop to his plans.
You can play either as Sonic (who uses his trademark spin dash to destroy items), Amy (who uses a hammer to deliver a powerful attack), Tails (who can fly, swim, use his tails to destroy his foes and use spin dash attack just like Sonic) and Knuckles (who can glide, climb, tread water, use powerful punch combos and use spin dash attack).
There are four main modes to play in: · Story mode: Make your way through the zones and collect emeralds on the way. · Time Attack: Race through the zones in the quickest time possible · Multiplayer mode: Play with your friends via a GBA link cable using either one game pak or two. · Tiny Chao Garden: Raise a Chao and pet it or play mini games with it.
Although the story mode was a little to short in my opinion, there is always the opportunity to go back time and time again to collect items that you missed, or explore hidden pathways. With all of these Modes, there is never a dull moment in this game.
irely new creation that's been built from the ground up. The gameplay, graphics, and sound borrow from the classicSonicgames on the Megadrive and are successfully translate...
