Sonic Adventure Battle 2 is an excellent game that I really enjoyed. It's a re-make of the Dreamcast version.
You can play as either a hero or a villain. There are three types of characters on each side, with specific missions.
1)The main character. (Sonic, Shadow) You can curl up into a ball (like Sonic usually does) and attack enemies by rolling, jumping, etc.
2)The "digging" character. (Knuckles, Rouge) You fight some enemies, but your main objective is to dig up all three of the Green Emeralds that you can within the time limit.
3)The character in the robot. (Tails, Dr. Eggman) You get to shoot at enemies to attack them.
Playing through each level gets very fun. The levels have decent variation, and never get too repetitive. You fight various robots, and collect rings too.
You can later use the rings when you unlock the Chao Garden. The Chao Garden is a place where you get to take care of cute, and funny-looking creatures. You can train them to fight and race other Chao.
The controls seem a bit flawed. But, all you must do is get used to them. The characters do seem a bit hard to maneuver, but after a little practice, their easy to master.
The graphics are fine. No, they aren't ugly, as another IMDb user said so. I really had no problem with them, even if they can be better. They can't be compared to other Gamecube titles such as Resident Evil 4 and Super Smash Bros. Melee, but I can settle for these.
The Boss fights are fun. It become really hard when your opponents start using loads of special attacks, but the rest are fine. Not too hard at all.
The multi-player is superb. You and some friend can battle in split-screen mode, and have loads of fun killing each other, or searching for emeralds. Like the characters, there are three different types of multi-player modes.(besides the kart-racing and Chao garden)They are: racing, (Sonic, Shadow)robot battle, (Tails, Dr. Eggman) and Emerald search. (Knuckles, Rouge)With that, there are also two other characters available for each mode. The only problem is on the race mode. The first two tracks seem to be too simple without much skill required. The last two tracks seem to be too difficult and impossible to complete.
There was one other thing that got kind of old- the search for the Green Emeralds. I mean, there's only a couple of characters. It gets so... boring! Well, not as interesting as the other two.
Well, I would recommend it. It's not the best-looking game out there, but it's one of the more entertaining.
8/10
Good: Variation, decent controls and graphics, great multi-player, great extras including Chao garden
Bad: Controls seem flawed at times, some tracks seem too easy or hard in multi-player, graphics could be better, Chaos can't be controlled during fights and races.
