What a Dissapointment

While fun for a while, it gets tiresom after a while. I stopped playing by the time I got to the point in Rouge's quest where you have to beat her 5 times as Emerl, but if she beat you even once, you have to start the entire fight over again! So if you beat her 4 times,then she beats you, you're forced to fight her again!

All I can say is this: Ignore and buy "Super Smash Bros. Melee" for your Gamecube instead,even if it doesn't have Sonic.

Not nearly as good as said.

This game is great. You can fight as Sonic characters. The gameplay is great as well. But there's some downfalls. Everything's in 2-D! But what I'm most upset about is that once you do Amy's Adventure game,it's almost impossible. Emerl is neat but sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo weak. When Amy,Cream and Emerl are doing a fight,you are Emerl. You stink,no matter what level he's at. The story is very intresting though. Overall,I'd say this game is great for a little bit.

Good Game

This game is not as good as the other sonic games. You have to battle a lot of people and the battles can be boring

Average Game For Sonic Fans.

This is a very cool game. Play as 8 characters in story mode (Sonic, Tails, Rogue, Knucles, Shadow, Amy, Cream, Emerl).
When your fighting you will use the same attacks over and over, and they do get boring at times. The 2d rectangles in fighting are pretty cool! But once you have beaten the game you can't really play much more. In story mode you can customize Emerl's attacks by mixing other character's attacks. You can also fire ground shots or special attack. This game also includes multi player mini games and one boring single player. Story mode provides a small challenge and it talks half the time. Don't by
this game but if you wanna go ahead.

Pretty good overall

That Dr. Eggman is at it again with more plots to overthrow the world. Meanwhile, Sonic is wasting away a boring afternoon at the beach and finds a top-secret super robot that can learn its enemy's moves. Is it the perfect weapon to foil Dr. Eggman or a ticking timebomb that will destroy the world? Of course, if you don't want all that plot getting in the way of your good time, you and three friends can choose from eight well-known franchise characters (or select your customized robot from Story mode) and duke it out over link cables in true Smash Bros. style. The characters' unique fighting techniques enhance the enjoyable fast-paced action in Sonic Battle's pseudo-3D arenas. While it's definitely one of the best implementations of the z-axis yet to appear on the GBA, the camera doesn't always rotate when it should. A big part of strategy unintentionally becomes staying out of blind spots.
The game's strongest point is its graphics, which look great on the GBA and scale up beautifully when played through the Game Boy Player for the GameCube. Music and sound effects are whimsical and provide appropriate accompaniment to the action. The controls are intuitive and well executed, except for the blocking command. It's annoyingly difficult to time blocks correctly, but as Mel (the cook on Alice) says, "The best defense is a good offense." The biggest problem with Sonic Battle is the poor game design in Story mode. Earning Skill Points, and thereby new abilities for Emerl the Robot, is a grueling ordeal. Most battles reward Emerl with a single Skill Point. All the cool abilities cost upwards of 20 Skill Points, leading to a detrimental imbalance in the effort/reward system. A good game will make players work for their upgrades, but Sonic Battle asks too much. Still, the game can be enjoyed in multiplayer mode with the eight preexisting characters until you put in the long hours to build up Emerl.

Super Smash Bro's... Sonic style!!!

Sonic Battle is like "SSBM" but you can move up, down,
left, right, and all directions. And here are the
characters of choices.
Sonic the hedgehog,
Shadow the hedgehog,
Rouge the bat,
Miles "Tails" Prower,
Amy Rose,
Cream the rabbit & Cheese the Chao
Emerl the robot (It's real name is Gizoid. He dies at the end.)
And here are the lockable characters.
Chaos god of destruction/Chao gardian (Chaos 0 is my favorite!!)
E-102 "y" Gamma.
And here are the bad guys.
Phi #1 (Phi are clones of Emerl/Gizoid.)
Phi #2
Phi #3
Phi #4
Phi #5
Phi #6
Phi #7
Phi #8
Phi #9
Phi #10
Phi #11
Phi #12
AND MORE!!!
And the bad Eggman/Dr. Robotnick (Or Dr, Robuttnick.)
The story is that Eggman woke up Gizoid, and dumped him.
Sonic found him and named him Emerl....
After all the "Episodes" When you go to Emerl's story,
you fight Eggman twice, unlock Chaos, and he has been
revived by Shadow and Sonic with the Chaos Emeralds.
After Eggman's battle, Eggman destroys a bunch of star's
turning Emerl back into a "Angry" war machine.
One more tussle as Sonic, then Emerl... Well... He how i say it?
His circuits blow and he.... Dies. And the end Sonic got his
friends happy again. Except Cream. And besides the VERY sad ending this is a VERY good game. "sob... Pure Emerl".

Memories of Power Stone...

Sonic Battle is a new fighting game by Sonic Team. I have been interested in it ever since it was shown at E3 2003. When it came out in Japan, I made sure to get my hands on it.

Graphics: The graphics are actually quite good. The character sprites are detailed and well animated plus there are even some cool polygonal environament effects. 4/5

Sound: The sound effects (especially the voice overs in the Japanese version) are very good. The only problems I have are that the music is isn't all that great and the English voiceovers are annoying. Normally, the music in a Sonic game is good. In here, it just this awful, old-school MIDI sound (well, okay, maybe I just don't like the music at all). Some of the tunes are pretty catchy though, such as the practice menu music or the Library music. 3/5

Gameplay: Oh my God, this game is lots of fun. It brings back alot of memories of Power Stone on the Dreamcast, although the combo system in Sonic Battle is deeper. The multiplayer battles and minigames are fun but mastering all the skills for the robot Emerl is even more fun and adds tons o replayability to the game. You see, you can let him learn the skills of all the other characters in Sonic Battle. The skill system in SB is somewhere between the AI training in Virtua Fighter 4 and Soul Calibur's weapon master mode. Playing challenge mode is also pretty fun. 5/5

Overall: Should you buy this game? If you like fighting games and/or Sonic games you will DEFINITELY want to play this game. It's not just some simple button masher but has alot of strategy.

Final Score: Thus is a good game. But after awhile, after you've mastered all the skills and played the heck out of the multiplayer, it becomes one of those games that you should only play every once in a while. 4/5

awesome!

I've had this game 5 days now, and I've played it as much as possible. Battle is what Sonic Battle is all about! Lots of action!
