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.

Blazes across your screen with incredible graphics, addictive gameplay, and deep play options. Sure, it's not flawless, but it's definitely worth playing.

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.

Aside from the camera-angle blemish, Sonic 2 for the Gamecube is still loads of fun.

Sonic and Shadow's levels are great, but every one else's levels are, unfortunately, dull. In the end, 1/3rd of the main game is great but hampered by camera and some control issues.

While it has its moments, its lack of refinement makes playing it a disjointed and frustrating experience.

I can't help wondering how it would have turned out had it been developed originally for GC. [Mar 2002, p.51]

Although the two-player mode is entertaining, there's not enough variety to keep you going for long, and the quibbles with the camera and the music are the icing on an unsatisfying cake. Avoid.

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

Qué decir sobre este juego que no se haya dicho ya un millón de veces. La respuesta es nada. En mi opinión, la fórmula Adventure es la mejor forma de hacer juegos de Sonic en 3D, y si fuese solo eso este juego se llevaría un 9 como mínimo. Sin embargo para alargar el juego decidieron añadir estilos de gameplay alternativos. Esto no me parecería ningún problema si los niveles de Sonic / Shadow no fuesen una minoría así de minoritaria.

Horribly overrated game that only got worse (for the most part) with this terrible port. The Speed stages are really the only fun part about this game other than the music and some bosses, but not only do they take up less than 1/3 of the game (keep in mind this is a SONIC game) but they're still riddled with many flaws of their own. In fact, for Sonic, 2 out of his 6 stages(Crazy Gadget, Pyramid Cave) aren't even that fun anyways and for Shadow out of his 4 stages one is INCREDIBLY short(Sky Rail) and one is also just not fun(Final Chase). This game is a definite step back from Adventure 1 gameplay-wise.
