Wee, now that the PS stuff is over and done with (and thank you so much everyone! I appreciated your help and commentary!), I can respond to stuff I've been meaning to respond to.
Man, Battle's final credits are so good.
See, this is how Beef should respond to Chao. He'd probably enjoy it more.
I've always thought that ending themes in video games in general were a sound design choice for the game and the player to say farewell to each other. That sounds incredibly corny, but that's likely the intent. It's partially why I loved Dear My Friend so much at the end of Unleashed. The Colours end was a bit of an anomaly, though it's fitting for what's going on as you're playing the game (er, in terms of tempo and mood).

Technically, yes, but honestly, I couldn't care less, and actually kinda envy you.

Good...let the cheats consume you, let it envelope your impatience and your soul to the point where you cannot play any game without cheats and hacks. You will utilize guides to simply navigate the menus of modern consoles, and you will cheat in the first level of every game you'll ever play because your soul has been tarnished with the tools of the demon. Possessed by Game Shark, by Game Genie, by Codebreaker, and by Action Replay. Your fate is sealed, and so is your life.

He has not earned the right to cheat! Only a select few can cheat.

It's Advance 2. I'd advocate cheating just so you don't have to put up with its seven ring bullshit.

No.
Because it's Sonic Advance 2.
What!
*checks email* What the heck is this, why haven't they shipped mine yet?!
((((((((I did it without cheats but I guess a location guide is cheating?

You must first beat it the hard way before you earn that right, get to it, NOW.
I already got one Emerald legitimately and it was already tedious. I'm not willing to go through the same process 35 times... no wait, more than 35 times because it's so easy to screw up. Not worth it. NOT WORTH IT.
Also the game's level design is starting to suck ass. Ice Paradise got annoying real fast.

The sense and thrill of accomplishment for conquering Dimps is more than enough! Get to it eyeball...

You need to beat Sonic 2006 anyways, so sure! But don't feel bad about cheating, Sonic Advance 2 is ridiculous and only those that have lost their sanity can put up with that.

You beat Sonic Advance 2 the hard way and then you beat every story in 06 to make up for your dirty cheating...
I'd like to keep whatever (unlikely) remaining sanity I have left after beating Sonic 06. I mean that is JUST cruel already!

It seems we need to break you further...your last shreds of sanity must be crushed. Do it the hard way...
You still need to beat 2006! You gave up early on.

I never had any sanity to begin with!

True. Well, he's trying to push Sonic Advance 2 Special Stages on others so equal punishment should be had! (I actually bought him the game, haha)

Oh, you bought him 06? Well then, he's under obligation.

....Sonic Unleashed for the Wii had the tightest gameplay. Also, no stupid medal collecting, and minimal Werehog stages. Also the highest rated version.
I like Advance 2
Just unlocked Amy. Now to beat the Super Sonic stage and get all the emmerdoods as Amy
Yes, and he shall.
You can't die before the playthrough.
I may have to give this a shot.
I'm pretty sure the Wii version has 3 Werehog Acts per stage. And the Day stages aren't as good as the 360/PS3 versions (because Dimps apparently designed them, but surprisingly they ain't bad... except for the Night stages)
There's also 3 Acts of the Day stages as well... but the catch? Acts 2 and 3 are borin' missions that are not optional.

Yeah, and reviewers who rated the Wii version higher than the Xbox 360 version are crazy people. Sonic Unleashed on the Wii is a slow, weird, stiff game. It has a couple of cool ideas about presentation but it is in no way a better game.
I mean, for however bad the Werehog was in the HD version, it's a thousand times worse in the Wii version, where you are stuck doing basically the same stiff three or four hit combo over and over and over again because the combat system is absolute nonsense. Not to mention how many Werehog stages there are - I realize it probably comes out to about the same as the HD version, but I don't like that the Wii version breaks each Werehog section out in to four separate stages, even if it does help each stage feel more diverse.
Daytime levels are often way more scripted and empty, and the boost system is weird and works against gameplay fluidity. Plus, it means you constantly have to hear Sonic going "HURRAGH" every 3-5 seconds. Level design is bland and sloppy; Dragon Road feels like a weird holdover from a beta version of Secret Rings.
The lack of medal collection is definitely a boon, but the notion reviewers had that the Wii version was superior for removing the HUB worlds is absolutely comical to me, because the weird menu system Sonic Unleashed Wii substitutes for the hubs is actually more difficult to navigate than simply just pointing Sonic in a direction and going, nevermind how utterly BORING it is to essentially be presented with a series of menus that are 99% text and nothing else.
Sonic Unleashed Wii is not the worst game in the world but it is very, VERY much a cheap Wii version of a big budget HD game.

At least the Wii version has some advantages over the HD version: a better version of Eggmanland.
Now he has to finish it off.Kokonoe said:
