Welcome back the good old gems, before Shadow the Hedgehog's existence.

User Rating: 8.4 | Sonic Advance 3 GBA
From one hand, sonic advanced 3 is fast, and interactive enough to keep you turned on for hours. But, from another it’s too short, easy to keep you turned on for more than a week. If you where a sonic slave since the Genesis days, you’ll definitely want to buy this, as it takes you back to the good old days and shower you with a lot of sweet, sweet memories. It’s your choice whether you want to stick with the old sonic or buy the GBA version. Differing from the old Sonic games, this one has a couple of characters you can unlock. By now, Knuckles is definitely the best character you can play as. He has the abilities of keeping your hands attached upon your GBA more than any other character. I’m not going to tell you exactly how and why yet. How about buying the game and finding it out by yourself? Even if you weren’t a complete sonic fan in the past, this will be a pretty warm introduction to open your heart to the sonic world. The graphics look clean, and pure… Just like how the water in swimming pools look like before it gets dominated by preteens. Which is also the opposite of Shadow the Hedgehog for the Gamecube? The characters voices are only going to attract you if you where one of those preteens or a fan of the show, which is pretty much is designed for preteens. Everything else besides the voices and the shortness of this game is pretty minty. It’s one of the things the GBA is actually created for.
