While taking a stroll on Emerald Beach, Sonic discovers
a damaged robot. Our spiky friend decides to take it to Tails
in order to get it fixed, but on the way he is confronted
by Shadow the Hedgehog - who seems intent on retrieving the
robot... but why?...
Sonic
fans are really being spoilt for games at the moment. It would
seem that our prickly friend is in vogue again. And why not?
In his Heyday old Sonic was the coolest console character
around, and he still is extremely cool.
However,
Sonic Battle may not be what Sonic fans were expecting
- a 3D, story driven, fighting game. If you were expecting
a nice little portable 3D platform game then you are going
to be very disappointed.
Playing
the game in the single player story mode, you go from fight
to fight by way of a loose story which attempts to link everything
together. While not the most riveting of storylines, it does
offer a break from the endless fighting - which can get very
repetitive.
This
game only really comes alive in the multi-player mode, but
unfortunately you are going to need a copy of the game for
each GBA. It's so much more fun battling against your mates
than the computer opponents. Not only that, but you are going
to need to gather some friends together is you want to play
any of the mini-games.
The
graphics look great and the gameplay is frantic, but there
doesn't seem to be enough here to sustain serious gamers for
anything longer than short bursts.
It's
not that this is a bad game - it's actually quite engaging
when you play head-to-head with your friends. It's just that
Sonic fans may feel a little cheated.
