The best handheld Sonic game I've owned!! :D:D
User Rating: 8 | Sonic Advance 3 GBA
I've owned the Sonic Advance games, Sonic Battle, and the Sonic Rush series for the handheld series and have not purchased any others. This game's soundtrack far outdoes Sonic Advance 1 and 2's, as well as beats the Sonic Rush series. My favorite soundtrack in the game comes from Cyber Track Zone. Ocean Base and Sunset Hill Zone(?) are my seconds. If you notice, Sunset HIll zone is a main song of the series dating back to the first games and occuring under different titles and remixes. The game is very easy to play when you get the controls + there are still the one hit kill traps or moving objects in the game. I got Chaos Emeralds 1-6 in this game, which I like because I didn't understand how to get them in Advance 2. I used cheat codes in the Sonic Advance games as well as battle to help me with things. I never played the extra boss in this game because there wasn't an Emerald cheat code listed in my Action Replay. I'm sure you'll find the game very enjoyable. If you love the games for the music, then you may consider looking up the game on Wikipedia then typing the zones and or zones+acts on Youtube to listen to the music there. This game introduced a two man squad gameplay where you had partner abilities. It also introduced Zone Maps where each zone had 3 act portals and 1 boss portal after you passed the three acts. You venture around the zone and hear a little of what the acts music will sound like. Act 1's music is similar to the zone map, act 2 is faster, and act 3 is a remiz of act 2 + even faster. The character roster is still the same as Advance 2's. I regret selling my GBA sonic games, but at least I can still listen to their music on Youtube. :)
