Sonic Advent
Sonic Advent, développé et publié par Shonumi, est sorti le 19 juin 2001 sur navigateur web. Ce jeu de plateforme utilise le moteur Adobe Flash Player et est proposé au prix de 9,99 euros. Lors du combat entre le bien et le mal, le joueur peut choisir de sauver le monde ou de le conquérir, la chasse aux Chaos Emeralds opposant les camps Hero et Dark. L'aventure permet d'incarner les héros Sonic, Tails et Knuckles ou bien Shadow, Dr. Eggman et Rouge, tout en proposant des courses de kart et modes de compétition contre un ami, l'élevage d'un Chao avec amélioration de ses statistiques, et plus de 150 missions réparties dans 30 étapes. La durée principale est estimée à neuf heures et le temps pour complétionniste à quarante-sept heures et demie.
La presse a salué la qualité technique du titre, Hot Games relevant que l'interaction avec la version Advance est sans faille et GameShark qualifiant les graphismes de parfaits avec des environnements fluides et rapides. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic regrettent l'absence de hub world, des stages Sonic/Shadow et Tails/Eggman jugés moins bons que dans le premier opus ainsi qu'un radar problématique en mode Knuckles/Rouge, tandis que d'autres sur Steam apprécient les cinématiques et la personnalité des personnages, certains déclarant même que c'est leur opus préféré.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The way the Advance interacts with the Cube is flawless, and if you have Sonic Advance (and we recommend you pick it up), it's a nice touch, with lots of promise for future games. »
« The graphics are flawless. Super-smooth, fast, seamless environments stretch on as far as the eye can see. While the GameCube should easily be able to do this, it's the frenetic pace that makes it most impressive. »
« Despite the messy structure, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is still up there with the best of them, knocking most of the competition for six. And that's what counts. [GamesMaster Magazine] »
« If you’ve played or owned the Dreamcast version though, there isn’t much new to do. »
« A particularly good example of why SEGA and Sonic Team are so revered within the games industry. »
« A sprawling, complicated adventure. [Mar 2002, p.132] »
« Blazes across your screen with incredible graphics, addictive gameplay, and deep play options. Sure, it's not flawless, but it's definitely worth playing. »
« Aside from the camera-angle blemish, Sonic 2 for the Gamecube is still loads of fun. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« It's the same great game that was released on the Dreamcast originally, but with various graphical issues that... Make the game look quite worse than it's Sega console counterpart. Still a great game, though. »
« No hub world, worse Sonic/Shadow stages, gameplay of Tails/Eggman stages are worse than in SA1, and the radar in Knuckles/Rouge stages make the game borderline unplayable. SA2 is a step down from SA1 in every aspect, and is generally a mess. »
« Probably one of the best Sonic games of all time. If it were to get a remaster or a remake, I could see it becoming an even higher average rating. »
« Sa2 is literally amazing and epic. Good characters fun gameplay not half bad mechanics the introduction of shadow the story and dont let me start on the soundtrack. Amazing game. »
« One of the best sonic games ever, it somehow aged really well, has an engaging and well done story, fun gameplay all around with loads of content outside of the main game, the soundtrack is early 2000’s peak, and all around makes for an amazing game »
« This game is so bad because of the terrible game play with tails and Eggman, Knuckles missions getting worse,sonic missions are boring or too difficult, and the only good thing is the music and art. I'd rather play adventure 1 because it has better characters besides Shadow and a more fun and chill gameplay besides the SNAKE »
« I think it's an overrated Sonic game it gets way too much attention then it actually deserves overstays it's welcome and just doesn't really hit my taste if anyone else likes it cool but I just don't really see the appeal »
« Esse jogo é incrível demais história exepicional as fases tem um dos melhores levels designs e a música tema e de balança o cabeção a câmera é o problema central mas fora isso jogão »
