This a decent handheld since the Sonic Advance series

First, this game is not better than Sonic Advance 3. You should rush to the stores and get a copy of that GBA game. It is much better. This game only has 2 characters you can play as, and they play on the exact same stages. It introduces a lavender colored female cat called Blaze. She has pyrokinesis. She is from an alternate dimension/parallel universe and she can utilize the power of the Sol Emeralds. Her enemy in her universe is Doctor Eggman Nega, Eggman's counterpart in the parallel uninverse who is much more insane and diabolical. That is basically an intro to the story. She has great jumping abilities. To get the Sol Emeralds simply beat the boss of the 7 zones. To get the Chaos Emeralds you have to use a warp wheel with energy from your tension gauge. It takes you to a mini-stage that gradually gets harder to defeat. It is easier than Sonic Advance 3's mini stages, as you simply guide your character with your touch pen left and right. The soundtrack in the game is good, basically remixing the music from act 1 into act 2. The bosses are all easy, when you get the hand of the controls. The only one that may cause you frustration is the bird machine that the Eggmen use. I give the game a 7.0, because it could've had more characters after the story was completed, as well as a greater time value.
