Sonic Battle

"Sonic has done many things in the past, but so far this is his greatest!"

Introduction:
Since 1991, sonic has been a smash hit. This time his game is more of a challenge, a fighting game that is unlike any other.

Game Play 9/10
This game has a storyline but not the greatest of the series. This game is really addictive and fun. What they did here was turn Sonic into an RPG type game. For some, it might be a challenge but for most, it might even be heaven! It is really fun to play!

Story 7/10
This is where I think the game wasn't that good. Much of the story line of the game is introducing Emerl created by Dr. Eggman. Not much more to say about that. This is just my opinion so don't hate me for saying so.

Graphics and Sound 9/10
The graphics in battle are just add-ons to the Sonic Advance 2 graphics, but that is not always a bad thing. They also added more graphics for Shadow, Emerl, Rouge etc. but they look better than I had thought possible on the GameBoy Advance. While the characters are in conversation, I like the graphics of them as they are pretty cool looking. Like all Sonic the Hedgehog games, the sound is good. Nice happy-filled music and different tunes. While the characters talk, they make a beeping sound which is quite annoying after hours of playing. Although there is much to listen to.

Play Time 10/10
This game should take about 6 hours or so. After you beat the game once, there is still much to do! You can link with friends, play over with different characters and much more. There are even little ''secrets'' that you can unlock. I think you can play this game at least 7 times over without getting to board of it.

Rent or Buy
If you like Sonic games or any game where you fight move around and unlock MANY things, by all means get this game. Since I am not you, I think it would be better to rent it first so you don’t buy it and end up hating it. But for die-hard fans such as me, this game will go great in the collection of Sonic games.

Conclusion
This game is great like all of Sonic's games, and can last along time. This game is extremely fun and never gets boring for me. Incredible gameplay, graphics and sound. Most Sonic games aren't as good as good as this one so have fun with this one until next time. I don’t expect a game this good for a LONG LONG time. So take my advice and go have some fun!
