Games Jukebox - Sonic Advance 2

Almost done, the last game will be tomorrow, hope this has been a fun experience.

Released in 2002, Sonic Advance 2 continues the adventures of Sonic on the Gameboy Advance as this time he has to save all his friends meeting a new friend in Cream the Rabbit and Cheese the Chao who has been separated from her mother. Like pretty much all Sonic games, it's your standard fair Sonic 2D platformer. Of the Advance games, this one is the strongest of the trilogy.

Amy Rose is a bonus character for completing the game.

Pros
Solid mechanics improves on Advance 1 engine.
Good roster of characters with Cream fitting in nicely among the cast.
Huge levels with plenty to explore.

Cons
Special rings are time consuming to get.
Cream and Cheese are stupidly overpowered.
Special stage is insultingly easy (might explain why the special rings take so long to get)

Verdict
While Sonic Advance 1 had a solid foundation, Sonic Advance 2 was able to improve on it and surpass it.
