I have been waiting for a game like this.
from what I heard was good enough to get this game.
what I hear is that this is a battle of all GOOD sonic charicters.And what it says at the top is not true about there being one mystery charicter.theres TWO.
what realy blew me away was the 3D polygons they used in levels.
I did'nt know that GBA was capable of such performance.
and the customizable charicter Emerl was one of my favorites.
you can make him exactly like one charicter technique wise.
and POTENTAILY<--(double underline) greatest charicter.
note about thats potential. What I am saying is dont go to battle mode and play as emerl when you first get this and expect an amazing charicter. At the time of this he is currently the WORST charicter. You have to work twards his greatness
in story mode.well you have to get all "ultamate" skills
and get the skill points to equip them
once you do. you've got the ultamate warrior.
but at some point you have to face this ultamate warrior in the highest dificulty.
fear not people of earth.
thats why this reviewer is here.
as it comes time to
REVEIWERS HINT!!!
when it comes time,
you face him as sonic.
ALWAYS set your skills as follows during this battle
Ground:Shot
Power:Defense
Set:Arial
when the battle begins
start by useing your shot attack at him.
keep shooting him until he dies.
when he dies and comes back,
set a mine and make him run into it.
when he flies in the air,set another mine where he's about to
land,when flies again. Set another mine under his feet.
and keep doing this until he dies again.
when so, do the shot attack. until he dies then go back to mines.
repeat until battle is over.
well you just completed a tough task.
thanks for reading.
dont forget to vote if this review/guide was helpful

A good direction for Sonic!

(How long have a played this game, I think the record place said 96 hours or something like that!) I was suprised to hear that Sonic was getting a fighter for the Gameboy Advance, quite different from the "run to the goal" Advance series. Personaly, I like fighting games (not the bloody ones, but you know, the Super Smash Bros. types), and had very high expectations for this game. It satisified them with high action fighting and a challening story mode. In this game you can play as a variety of characters from the Sonic universe: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, Amy, Cream, and the unlockabel E-102, and Chaos. You can also play as Emerl. One thing I like about this game is that there seems to be no "Strongest" character (excuding a super experianced Emerl), it all depends on fighing style (Tails and Cream work best for me). The fact you can actuall heal is cool too, as is the fact you can customize your special attacks. In Story Mode, you have to follow the story line and battle set characters, in battle, you earn cards whihc represent different attacks from the characters you fought, and skill points. If you press R to go to the customize screen you can teach Emerl these attackes if you have enough skill points. There are even altra rare ultimate attackes! When you first boot up Sonic Battle, you can only play "Sonic's story" in Story Mode, once you beat it however, you earn Tails "episode", then Rouge's episode, ect. Every character has an episode except E-102 and Chaos. Battle Mode is my fav. Play a battle on any stage, with any characters, with many customizable rules. Challenge mode is where you battle five set rounds to earn the most piont possible. Minigames are also included, though only one is single player. My only complaint is that you can't do the "virtuall training" you encounter in Emerl's episode with anyone but him. The reason I gave duribility (can you even see that rating, it made me do it and educational value [which this game does not have] when I reviewed it - it didn't make me with any other game, weird) 3 stars is that it has a variety of bad gliches, having special attacks and healing stop working is the most often occuring one. Once however, it almost deleted all my data by itself. But, these gliches could be (and probably are) a result of my playing for 96 or so hours. i recommend this game to anyone who owns a Gameboy Advance, whether you're a sonic fan or not!

Time and time again

Yet another Sonic fighting game has reared its head. Sonic Battle is sort of a new version of fighting from Sonic the Fighters (arcade). Not many people played that, so SEGA probably wanted another fighting game. Sonic Battle overall seems pretty good, since youve got a sort of Sonic 3-D Blast view. Remember that? Ya, but its all about the sprites. Ever since E3, i had no idea what the heck was so great about it.

Graphics: Cmon, you should know. The sprites are better than in Sonic Advance 2 and Shadow is very nicely done. Bringing in new characters such as Chaos and E-102 Gamma, they look impressive
9/10

Music/Sound:
I havent heard the sound that much. From the music it sounds pretty good, very catchy. Sounds...why dont you just rent the thing and check it out.
10/10

Gameplay:
Ive played this in Bestbuy once, and boy is it a load of fun.
Didnt get to play much, so first of all, the kicking the snot outta everyone is fun. Playing as Sonic is practically easy. So its just like any other game. Addictive at first. Then u play it every other once in a while.
8/10

Overall:
Overall this will have probably an excellent approval by Sonic-fans by mostly everywhere. And this Sonic game for the GBA/GBA SP actually has a story mode! Arent you lucky!!?!?! So buy?
Maybe, just if your interested in a fighting game with a story.
9.8/10

This game rocks! Now let my tell you why.

This game is very similar to one of my alltime favorite games, Super Smash Bros. Melee. Only its characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog games! Also, when you lose a life, you dont fall off the screen like in SSBM. You just fall on the ground and dissapear. Buy this game! Its awesome!

A much-needed breath of fresh air!

As a former video game zealot from my childhood and who became increasingly disillusioned at how grim, and violent that so many video games have become (Men of Honor? Give me a break! That's just something to turn our kids into possible soldiers) but 2003's "Sonic Battle" however is a major relief and gives me hope of more of the harmless fun that made video games so much fun and great escape entertainment!

While the games I played were historically adventure games (which I generally prefer), this game combines the adventure genre with battle genre and this game almost combines the X vs. X styles of "Mortal Kombat" minus the blood with the light-hearted fun of the Sonic games of old and the results are absolutely amazing! The music is awesome as well and if I could hook it up to a stereo, one could possibly get better music than what radio stations can offer these days.

There are many modes. The first is the story mode where the game starts in Emerald Town with Sonic and Tails finding a mysterious robot on Emerald Beach. Little do they know that this robot is actually a product of the evil Dr. Eggman (Dr. Robotnik from the old games but now known as Eggman) who threw it out believing that it was just a piece of junk. But this robot is powered by Chaos Emeralds. The game just gets more fun from here onwards. More characters eventually come in including some that I've never even seen or heard of before.

Battle Mode is a different mode where you can select any character to play including 'evil' characters to battle against three competitors including 'clones'. "Battle Mode" can be played alone or against other players as well. This one is a lot fun.

Challenge Mode involves making lots of points when taking into account how quickly the competitor is defeated, how much damage is done, rate of offensive attacks hitting it's target, etcetera.

Mini-games is a totally separate area from the otehr modes in which miniature games are played. The only solitary player game in this area is the Mine-Dig starring Knuckles the Echidna and it is played in the same what that the computer game Minesweeper is played in which Knuckles must uncover the squares but not the ones containing mines.

"Sonic Battle" is a welcome return for my favorite video game franchise ever. Go and buy it today! Even adults might enjoy this game as well.

Knuckles ROCKS!!!!!!!!

This game was really COOL 1 of best gameboy games I ever played.
you can do story mode, challange mode, battle mode, or minigamees. in story mode u will start w/ sonic (no duh). after that u will gain more story modes (if u play a story mode over again it will not delete the other story modes u have cleared). In challange mode is just well a challange for fun. in battle mode you can just fight alone for the heck of it or challang your buds. minigames u can only do with other people. I love story mode because you raise this robot that learns your attaacks when you fight it. when he earns 1 of your attacks, it ll pop up on a card thing. i'm trying 2 earn all 400 something of every1's attacks! This is just a really cool game for people who lov fighting games and are tottal sonic freaks (lik myself). Oh yeah! u learn more about prof. gerald. Hope this helped!

Best game I ever played

First of all, I am not usually a fan of fight games, but since it was Sonic, I decided to give it a shot. Plus, I had heard that there was a pretty good storyline.

I can tell you, It definitely lived up to my expectation, even exceeded them!

First, I'll tell you about Story Mode. In Story mode you, (duh) play the storyline. There are several 'chapters' or something titled similarly, that you can play. First you play Sonic's chapter, then Tails', then Rouge, and so on.

I am currently on Knuckles' chapter, and this is the turning point of the game, where the AI enemies gets tougher and smarter. I have died, like, about 10 times already, and still am. That tough. Either that, or maybe I'm just an awful gamer. But, still, you get ambushed by three cannon-blasting robots who would love nothing more than to blow the fur off your character. Either way, It's tough, and the story is good enough to keep me coming back.

The story starts out as Sonic finds a robot washed up on the beach. Apparently, it grows stronger and smarter when given Chaos Emeralds, so Sonic dubs him 'Emerl' (Tails apparently found this to be awfully cheesy...and so did I)

Then, Sonic decides to teach the little guy to fight, and make him stronger. It's really cool, but the storyline gets more serious in later chapters, like Shadow, and finally, the fight against Eggman, where Emerl...Right. Like I'd spoil the story? Not a chance!

Um, yeah...anyway, then there's regular fight. Pick a character and duke it out full time! Totally fun! It's really fun to fight using Shadow, since he totally whips everyone. Or, then again, maybe it's just fun becuase I'm a fangirl...

The battling was a LOT better than my original expectations. I don't think I've ever had this kind of fun in a fight game. I'm glad that Sonic Battle allowed me to widen my choices when it comes to game genres, or whatever you call them.

So, all in all, definitely worth the money, but I wouldn;t suggest it for really little kids. The games gets pretty frustrating. And the end gets pretty sad. But, yeah, totally awesome. Anyway, I hope this review was helpful to you in some way. Later!

Fun, better than sonic Advance!

This game I liked alot, because it takes a while to beat, but not extremely hard! Your bot, Emerald, is one you train with all the characters from the world of sonic, and after you fight a battle you usually get a move you can add to him, making Emerald with moves and colors from other characters. Not only can you do story mode, but you can do challenge mode and battle mode which you can do with someone who also has this game. There are 5 mini games that you need to unlock that don't require more than one Sonic Battle game. All you need is a cord, and you can verse other people. The best mini game is probably Soniclash, which is similar to beyblades.
I love this game, and recommend it to anyone who has a Gba. This game is worth new or used!
