If you've heard of
Sega, you've heard of Sonic the Hedgehog. From his debut on the
16-bit Genesis system to his latest 3D incarnation in Sonic
Adventure 2, old blue has set the pace for fast-action gaming. Soon,
Sonic will speed his way to the small screen in Sonic Advance for
the Game Boy Advance system. The game is in development now and the
game's features aren't locked down yet, but here's a little taste of
the supersonic goodness to come.
Sonic Advance marks the hedgehog's return to the 2D realm, with
graphics and gameplay reminiscent of the original Sonic the Hedgehog
games. Dr. Eggman is at it again, with a brand new scheme to trip up
Sonic and his pals. This time you'll play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles,
and Amy as you collect Chaos Emeralds and thwart Eggman's nefarious
machines. You'll need all the help you can get, because this all-new
quest gets more challenging by the minute with tons of new puzzles
and traps. Evade the obstacles and enemies, unlock secret areas, and
uncover the hidden Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic for
the final battle against Dr. Eggman!

IGN Pocket:
"Sega's GBA development team pulled out a wonderful handheld
title...it covers every possible base on system: it's graphically
excellent, it sounds great, it puts the link cable features to
outstanding use, and its GameCube connectivity opens up potential
never before available."

Game
Spot:
"Veteran Sonic fans should be right at home with Sonic
Advance's gameplay... While it lacks some polish, Sonic Advance is
still a strong entry in the GBA library. Its connectivity to the
GameCube and retro gameplay definitely make it a game that Sonic
fans and GC owners can appreciate."

Planet GameCube:
"Even after over 10 years Sonic is still a pleasure to play,
and younger mainstream gamers will finally get a chance to play
Sonic old school. It isn’t perfect, nor is it the best Sonic game
in the franchise’s history, but it is a very solid platformer that
deserves a spot in your GBA case." |
