Sonic Battle

"The battle begins!"

Introduction
Sonic Battle is clearly the best Sonic game for GBA (My opinion). It's right next to Sonic Advance and Sonic Advance 2. The graphics, the story, and the gameplay are simply one of the best I've seen for a Sonic GBA game. The following is what I thought about Sonic Battle:

Story: 10/10
Depending on which story you choose (You can choose different stories of each character), the outcome is always different. The story perfectly blends in with the game. SEGA and Sonic Team did a wonderful job with the Story and I don't think it could get any better. It's simply amazing how it goes with the game.

Gameplay: 9/10
The gameplay isn't that bad. It's gets repetitive after a while, but I don't mind it... After all, the fighting moves the characters do go with the characters traits and abilities which makes the game more interesting to play. During the game, you get to walk around Emerald Town and visit places like the Emerald Beach and Tails' House. In these places you can travel to, there's always a battle or some dialogue during your travels.

Graphics: 10/10
The graphics are great! I couldn't imagine a Sonic GBA game with these superb graphics! The camera follows the character perfectly throughout a battle and most of the time when you're walking around. But enough with the camera, the graphics show everything you'd want to see in a Sonic game. The characters look great in a cel-shaded environment.

Sound: 9/10
The sound is very nice. It blends into the game and its dynamics. It just doesn't get old. The music especially blends into the battles you'll be facing in this game. It could depend on where you are, or who you're facing. The sound just simply goes into the game.

Rent or Buy?
I would say this. If you're a true Sonic fan and has been throughout his games, get this game right away. If you're new to Sonic, rent this game. If you're a regular Sonic gamer, I would say rent again. Who knows? If you're just a regular Sonic gamer, you may like this game...

FINAL SCORE:
Story: 10
Gameplay: 9
Graphics: 10
Sound: 9
SCORE: 9/10

I gave this game a 9/10. Why? The review explains itself. I truly loved this game. It simply is one Sonic game you want to get. The story, sounds, gameplay, and graphics are perfectly perfect for this game. I couldn't ask for a better Sonic game in GBA.
