Sonic and company are back and better than ever in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle for Nintendo GameCube. Dr. Eggman is up to his old tricks, and it’s up to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles to stop him yet again. Two new playable characters enter the Sonic universe — a mysterious dark hedgehog called Shadow, and a jewel-thieving bat named Rouge. In the single-player mode, you’ll go through more than 30 unique stages, which include everything from a forgotten pyramid, an abandoned military base, and a giant space station. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle features faster action, all-new two-player games, and a branching storyline that lets you choose to save the world as the Hero side, or conquer it as the Dark side.

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle
Sonic Adventure 2: Battle is the enhance port of the Dreamcast video game, Sonic Adventure 2. It was release in December 2001 in Japan and 2002 in the rest of the world for the Nintendo GameCube. Making it the first Sonic the Hedgehog game to be release for a Nintendo game console. This port includes a variety of exclusive new features and alongside several changes.
Description
Most Sonic the Hedgehog games are specifically for Sega related platforms but Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is an original game made for the Nintendo GameCube. However, Sonic and crew need to stop Dr. Eggman from his nasty tricks again. Also there’s new characters brought into the Sonic universe. And a mysterious dark hedgehog Shadow and a bat name Rouge. The Sonic Adventure 2 Battle has been enhance with graphics, doubling the framerate and now is set as a multiplayer system.
3-D Debut
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. But 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.
Choose Hero
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. However, Sonic and his dark counterpart Shadow traverse levels at warp speed colleting coins. And power-ups while fighting enemies in the game’s most exhilarating moments.
But unfortunately, the other characters are nowhere near as fun to play. Dr. Eggman and Tails fight through levels that require little 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.
Graphics
Graphically, the game is a bit of a letdown considering the processing muscle of GameCube. Models are fairly 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 involve.
Moreover, 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 games like Super Smash Bros. Melee. Still, they are nice additions. Especially the racing games and round out a flawed single-player component.
Sonic addicts who miss this game the first time around on the Dreamcast will definitely want to check it out. But the finicky camera, tedious non-Sonic/Shadow levels in single-player mode. And surprisingly shallow multiplayer components (especially the Chao games) turn what could have been a great game into a mere good one.
Pros:
- Plenty of variety.
- Sonic/Shadow levels are pure, unadulterated fun.
Cons:
- Knuckles/Rouge levels are tedious.
- Multiplayer aspects could use some more depth

I got this so that my fiance and I could play some of the games that I played in my childhood. Package was clean and the cover art was spotless. Original manual was in great condition and disk was in perfect condition.

This is one of the better Sonic games, even though there are some vocal critics. I think this is still a great game, and I find it very enjoyable even today. The Chao garden and emblem collecting will give you plenty of reasons to replay every stage. A lot. The Chao garden can be fun, but it won’t be the main attraction if you don’t have the patience for raising virtual pets, although that’s one of the requirements for collecting emblems. Trying to collect all of the emblems is challenging, even though I have been trying since this was originally released on the Dreamcast. That’s funny, because on an unrelated note, I managed to beat F-Zero GX.

I had this game when I was younger and I loved it! Then, like a fool, I told my mom it was okay to trade it in for a new game. I regretted the decision the minute it was no longer mine. I started my quest to find the game at the local game stores but sadly, to no prevail! But then I decided to look online and I found it. I got it within a week of purchasing it, the disc was a little scratched but the game works great. I was reunited with my childhood. This game is one of the best Gamecube games out there. I’m so happy I’ve got it back!

Received game in a timely manner. Bubble wrap in case so disk would not flop around during shipping (Most vendors don’t even consider this.) Disk is spotless and scratch free. It works like brand new! Was worth the cost. I am very happy with this purchase. One of the best purchases I have made on retrolio so far. Have to rate this 5 stars!
