Product Description
Most Sonic the Hedgehog sports meeting are particularly for Sega related platforms but Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is an original game made for the Nintendo GameCube. Sonic and crew need to stop Dr. Eggman from his nasty tricks again. There’s new characters brought into the Sonic universe! A mysterious dark hedgehog called Shadow and a bat named Rouge. The Sonic Adventure 2 Battle has been enhanced with graphics, doubling the framerate and now is set as a multiplayer system.Amazon.com Review
Sega’s mascot made his 3-D debut on the Dreamcast, but with the demise of that system the zippy blue hedgehog is popping up everywhere–including on the GameCube. Unfortunately, his first next-gen appearance, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, is marred by the same 3-D camera problems that plagued the Dreamcast version, and the multiplayer “battle” component isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.
Right out of the gate, players have the option of choosing Hero (Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles) or Dark (Dr. Eggman, Shadow, and Rouge) quests, which are completely different. Sonic and his dark counterpart Shadow traverse levels at warp alacrity colleting coins and potential-ups while fighting enemies in the game’s most exhilarating moments. Unfortunately, the other characters are nowhere near as fun to play. Dr. Eggman and Tails fight owing to levels that require small more than constant button-mashing to shoot an endless procession of enemies, and Knuckles and Rouge participate in seemingly endless levels that require searching for a variety of objects.
Graphically, the game is a bit of a letdown considering the processing muscle of GameCube. Models are honestly simplistic, and level textures are sometimes bland. Game Boy Advance owners can use a link cable to download Chao from the game and train them on the go, but the rewards for doing so are minor considering the time investment involved. The main feature this game offers over its Dreamcast predecessor is the variety of multiplayer modes, which are fun but offer none of the depth or replayability of standalone multiplayer sports meeting like Super Smash Bros. Melee. Still, they are nice additions–especially the racing sports meeting–and round out a flawed release-player component. Sonic addicts who missed this game the first time around on the Dreamcast will certainly want to check it out, but the finicky camera, tedious non-Sonic/Shadow levels in release-player mode, and surprisingly shallow multiplayer components (especially the Chao sports meeting) turn what could have been a splendid game into a mere excellent one. –T.

Pros:
- Plenty of variety
- Sonic/Shadow levels are pure, unadulterated fun
Cons:
- Knuckles/Rouge levels are tedious
- Multiplayer aspects could use some more depth

Remember when we used to play the ancient Sonic sports meeting for the Sega Genesis? Well, that was probably the best game for the system. Sega saw that it was an awesome title and released four more. They all had the same exact control feel and it had the same exact object of the game, which was to defeat that stout, bald guy. I got bored of those sports meeting because of that reason. This game will be exactly like the other 3D Sonic sports meeting on the Dreamcast; repitive and dull. It is a fading classic and I hope they can fix it. But if they can’t don’t buy this game!!

this game is so stupid and dull i got sick of it in the first level, the music is terrible and you have to do the same first level five times, it’s the exact same except you have a different “mission” like getting a hundred rings or something. i thought this was going to be fun but it’s really dull if you’re going to rent or buy it, i wouldn’t its one of the worst sports meeting i’ve ever played

Let’s get one thing straight: I haven’t played this game. But I want to! I WANT TO!!! But it’s only released on a console that died ages ago (Dreamcast) and this… small thing (GameCube). I’m a PS2 gamer and buying a GC would wreck my pride! But it’s so unfair!!! While GC gets all the huge sports meeting like Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and Sonic Mega Pool, us PS2 gamers get only the decent-but-multiplatform Sonic Heroes, the dreadful Shadow The Hedgehog and a toned down Mega Pool. I can’t stand this!!! Why wasn’t it released for PS2? Why SEGA? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???
