The game follows the same format as it did back in 2001. The stories are parallel, so you won’t have issues figuring out what is happening between story lines. You have the choice of playing either “Hero” or “Dark,” the former being Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, and the latter being Shadow, Rouge and Eggman. Lucky for those who go as far back as the DreamCast, they can relive the joy of Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (SA2) as a download to their PS3 and XBOX 360 systems. If there’s one series that’s beloved by video game fans everywhere, it’s Sonic.
