Sonic returns for a second outing on the Game Boy Advance. Once again, Sonic is called upon to save the world from the evil Dr. Eggman. On this occasion, Sonic is joined by friends Tails, Knuckles and Cream the Rabbit, the latest addition to the Sonic team. Each comes with a set of unique moves, allowing you to reach certain areas through-out the levels. However, unlike Sonic Advance, you must complete the game as Sonic to unlock the other characters. Chaos Emeralds and Special Rings litter the stages. To collect the emeralds (transforming Sonic into Super Sonic for the final battle with Dr. Eggman), you must find the special rings hidden in each stage to unlock the bonus stage. Complete the bonus stage and the emerald is yours. You'll also get the chance to collect and raise chaos, and trade them over to Sonic Adventure 2: Battle on GameCube, through the use of the GBA/GC link cable. Read less

A huge step down from Advance 1. Advance 2 really pushes the boundaries of how fast you can make sonic move in 2d but completely misses the finer points of what made the momentum base platforming so good.

A huge step down from Advance 1. Advance 2 really pushes the boundaries of how fast you can make sonic move in 2d but completely misses the finer points of what made the momentum base platforming so good. Countless bottomless pits, forcing you to speed through at a crazy pace then punishing you for not know what's ahead. This game really embodies all the unfair criticisms of classic sonic.

A good sonic level is beatable on your first try but you master it with practice, these levels are filled to the brim with insta death gotcha traps that just make it unfun to play.

Unfortunately I'm dropping it without even finishing the main campaign as every level just gets worse than the last...

Worse Than I Expected

Screenshot after defeating an early boss in Sonic Advance 2

I really enjoyed Sonic Advance when I finally replayed it, so I was pretty disappointed by Sonic Advance 2. It's pretty mindless "go right to win" fun for the first four zones, then a frustrating game of "avoid the bottomless pits" for the rest.
