Sonic Adventure 2: Battle
By Alex Kessis
The first thing I have to say about this game is, WOW! This game has awesome graphics, great gameplay, and cool characters. There are three modes you can do (by yourself). Story mode, stage mode, and racing mode. In story mode, you can play the hero story (with Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails), or the dark story (with Shadow, Rouge, and Dr. Eggman).
Story: As usual, Dr. Eggman is trying to steal the seven Chaos Emeralds to obtain ultimate power. Rouge, who is an extreme jewelry collector, is trying to steal the seven chaos emeralds also. Knuckles, the greatest treasure hunter in the world, is trying to stop her. Shadow, who is a clone of Sonic created by Dr. Eggman's grandfather, is trying to figure out who he is, and what is his fate. He has been robbing banks and committing crimes. Now the police and the army are blaming all these things on Sonic. Sonic is mainly trying to stop him and get the seven Chaos Emeralds before Dr. Eggman does.
Stage mode is where you can play stages you have already completed for fun, or to get better rankings on them. Racing mode is cool too. You can drive with all six main characters, but there's only one course!
So, why did Sega and Sonic Team make a remake of the original Sonic Adventure 2 for the Sega Dreamcast? The answer is this: Two-player battle mode. You can race your friends on stages (with Sonic, Shadow, Metal Sonic, or Amy), or have a treasure-hunting showdown (with Knuckles, Rouge, Chaoszero, or Tikal), or, a laser battle (with Tails, Dr. Eggman, the Light Chao machine, or the Dark Chao machine). You can even have a Grand Prix (with the six main characters).
As one of the first Nintendo Gamecube games, it makes the system look great. Even though it was a remake of the Sega Dreamcast original, it still is a ton of fun. This is definitely my favorite Sonic the Hedgehog game to date.
9.8/10
THE ULTIMATE SONIC/SHADOW GAME
This is the best sonic/shadow game ever. I've played and beaten every sonic game even the old ones. This one was the best the upgrades, sonic's shoes, and the music(the best songs were Live and Learn and City Escape but Live and Learn was better). I played sonic heroes and shadow the hedgehog, which was a dissapointment even though he's my favorite gaming chracter in the universe, and this was 100 times better. If you can only buy one game it's this one.
All Right Sega !
To start, kudos to Sega for an excellent game. Sonic games never were a big deal with me, but this game prooved me wrong! When I rate game systems, Sega usually was on the bottom of the list. When I bought this game, it moved up quite a bit! I love the game's split story line, allowing you to play as both Dark Characters, and Hero Characters. My favorite feature is the Chao Gardens. There are three gardens where you raise your Chao. All the Chao are different, and I just love it! I know this probably was a bad review, but I'm telling you, this game is a must have in any collector's selection of games!
