The Characters are Sonic the hedgehog, Miles ''Tails'' Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, and the new character, Cream the Rabbit with Cheese the Chao. The goal: Stop Dr.Eggman and his new plan.

The levels are more longer and more fun. Also, it have a lot of hidden features.

It's going to be one of the best games of the year. Pre-order it, now!

Better Than the FirstApr 12, 2003
By Becca
After playing this game a bit, I've found the characters look better, the levels are a little more challenging, and there's more of a story to this. I don't like the idea of unlocking characters because Knuckles is my favorite and I can't play the whole way through with him. :( The levels seem to be a bit more challenging, but it has a definite lasting appeal unlike the first one. Sure you have to run for the bosses, but that's not uncommon in the Sonic games. Take it from a "Sonic Freak" and buy this!

Better than the Genesis gamesJun 15, 2003
By Patrick
This game is better than I could have hoped for. I would go so far as to say that this game is better than all of the classic Sonic games made for the Genesis. The addition of Cream is great. She fits right in with the rest of the characters. The graphics are wonderful. All of the characters have new animations but handle exactly as they should. The audio is classic Sonic and the boss battles are challenging but not too difficult. Since most all of the characters must be unlocked in order to play them this adds tons of replay value. And above all else, it's just a fun game to play.

Even more zoom than previous Sonic gamesJan 01, 2005
By Tom Batchelor "just a beerfrog"
If you have played the great classic Genesis Sonic games and the first Sonic Advance and just expect more of the same, think again. This game is even more about total speed getting from point A to point B than the previous games, with level design all its own. The levels are designed so that, if you want to, most of the time you can just hold down left or right and watch Sonic (or one of the other characters) ZOOM - until you are slowed down and have to decide how to proceed. Don't get me wrong, the levels are huge, with many paths for Sonic to take and a lot of stuff for the floatier characters (Tails and Cream) to explore. But everything, from each level's racing-style opening to the delightful fast-driving Eggman-vehicle bosses, and especially the level design, is all about speed.

You can probably dash through the first four levels on your first game, but from zone five onward the difficulty level, both in the levels and against the (I have to mention them again) speedy frenzied moving bosses, increases steadily every zone. The game is just difficult enough to keep me from zapping right through it, which is a good thing and keeps me coming back. I completed the first Sonic Advance the first day but have not beaten this one yet. I also have explored plenty and have not yet found a single chaos emerald, but I am sure they are there. This and the difficulty curve all keep me interested.

Another thing I like are the three action buttons. There is a jump button (essential), an attack button (with different effects depending on your character, including a ground pound that breaks floors and can aid in exploration for Sonic), and a 'trick' button, with high-speed effects that vary by situation. What's so good is that only the jump button is necessary, but if you are fast enough and want more variety you can make the game feel much deeper by using one or both of the other buttons in just the right situations.

I don't know just how long this game will keep my interest, but on the second day I have had it, MAN is it fun. It's all about speed.

Sonic Advance 2 is one of the bestNov 17, 2003

I got Sonic Advance 2 on my brthday and I was playing it the instant I got home. The game play is amazing and so are the graphics. The reason I gave it 4 stars though is because it's a little difficult. THe game is pretty easy until the 6th zone. Then it gets pretty hard(especially as Sonic). Another thing, the game was too short. I've already beat it with Cream and Tails and am still trying to beat it as Knuckles. The last thing is that there aren't enough cut scenes in the game. There are only 3(that I've seen). Overall it's a pretty good game. If you are a true sonic fan, you should get it.
