Ok Sonic Adventure blows Sonic Adventure 2 (yes even SA2:Battle)completely out of the water. The only way this game could possible [be bad] is if they didn't update the chao. Yes they should add maybey a little more cinema. But if they take out the adventure fields then I will still buy it. This game is so great you could simply play in the adventure field from dawn till dusk. It's simply THAT good. Overall this is simply my fav sonic game. I didn't think that they could improve on it much but since the gamecube disc can hold surprisingly alot more information than Dreamcast games. Sonic team has completely reworked the character format. The older , boxerier characters are now much more sharp and clearer looking. Although since Sonic Team is going back to sonic's roots, it dosen't mean that there still not working on Sonic Adventure 3. SADX , SA2B, SA, and SA2 should hold you down untill SA3 if you play with your chao alot.

Worth it for the price

I love the original 2D Sonic titles, but when I played Sonic Heroes last year I wound up more frustrated than thrilled by where the franchise had ended up. I'm not sure what possessed me to go back and buy Sonic Adventure DX, except that it was cheap, and I'm a completist. After all, Sonic Heroes should've been the best version of the 3D Sonic games, just because it's the newest right?

As it turns out, I'm liking Sonic Adventure DX a whole lot more than Sonic Heroes, mostly because it doesn't have the cumbersome team-switching dynamic and force you to alternate between three characters. Here we get 6 characters total, and each is given a seperate path with varying gameplay; Sonic gets the traditional speed levels, Knuckles is a "marco polo" treasure hunt, Tails must race Sonic, Amy must avoid capture, Gamma gets a shooting gallery, and Big gets to...fish. Honestly the last one is a little odd and pointless, but otherwise the gameplay modes are all decent and enjoyable. The Sonic levels still hold up the best, but it was interesting to play through the levels in different ways.

A lot of things really hurt this game though. The graphics are dated, but it's not really a problem if you know this was a Dreamcast port and go in with the right expectations. The "adventure" aspect of the game that places Sonic in an overworld much like Mario 64 doesn't really work. It feels too confining for characters that move really fast, and doesn't connect the story together that well. The story also takes itself a little too seriously, with horrible voice-acting that made me skip the cutscenes the first time through. The worst offender though, and the one that makes every other fault a minor nitpick, is the horrible camera. It gets stuck on corners, shoots at awkward angles, and needs to be constantly adjusted. It's hands down the worst camera I've seen on a 3D title, especially one featuring a mascot character.

There's a lot to do here, and ultimately if you enjoy what you're doing then the game's problems aren't so bad. The game also packs in a fistful of the old Sonic Game Gear titles as unlockable goodies. They're actually pretty bad, but its fun collecting them for nostalgic value. Overall, Sonic Adventure DX is worth the investment as a discounted/player's choice title. The faults are many and obvious, but the game still has enough charm to earn its place in an expanded Gamecube library.

The one of the most creative sonic games to date

I remember with fondness playing Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast, and I found myself having a very difficult time. When the director's cut came out, I was excited. I hoped they would add a few things to the story. I was wrong. It was very fun playing the game again, but I felt it was too easy. Many of the levels I had trouble with on the Dreamcast version were so easy. Chao raising was still very fun, but I never got the hang of racing. Other than that I had a very good time playing it.

chalenging but fun (hints)

in the game i beat most of the guys levels knuckles , tails e-102 gammas y but when e-102 and it's your final battle against betta attack after he uses light blast then attack him. when knuckle and your battling chaos 6 use the floating guys to freeze him then attack with a jump (jumps get rid of him better) tails is complicated when you are bttaling e-102 gamma DON'T USE TAIL SLASH it will bearly ever work jumping is your best attack.

Back when I sold my Dreamcast Sonic Adventure was one game I couldn't get for any of the newer consoles. But now I really happy to hear it is coming for GameCube!
I noticed some changes,
Sonic get's a much needed makeover! and maybe a few of the other characters.
I also saw a picture of Amy, Knuckles, and Tails in the first stage. Now people that have played Sonic Adventure know Amy and Knuckles can not go there, have they opened more levels to the other characters? I hope so!
I also heard about a 4 player mode? I'm not to sure about that so don't get all worked up... But that would be sweet!
Most are rumers but Sonics "new look" is a sure thing.

Good news and bad

First,the good news: Every Sonic game released for SEGA's Game Gear is unlockable by collecting Sonic Emblems by completing goals in SA DX. The linkable ones even support 2 players via split screen!

Now, the bad news: Sonic Adventure suffered problems with the jolting camera wresting control from you and causing unplanned plummets to your doom in its original release on the SEGA Dreamcast. Four years later, in this purportedly 'enhanced' version for the Nintendo Game Cube, you would think these problems would have been smoothed over. Think again. Not only are the camera/control problems actually worse, they have been joined by collision detection problems in the landscapes.

Sonic Adventure is a great game, but expect a great deal of frustration as you suffer losses which are no fault of your own, but rather the effect of less than adequate programming quality.

Best of Sonic Yet!

We know you all love sonic, and if not, you better try this game out. The levels are awesome and the characters are sweet. But most of all, the game itself is the best. It has all the players, the levels and the fun games and that's mostly why I like the game. The character you start out with is Sonic. Eventually, you get Tales, Knuckles, Amy, Big, and E102 (the robot guy). My favorite level is with E102 where you have to beat Superbeta. Destroying Superbeta is hard because he has a superblaster and direct missiles. The only way to hit him is when he's doing the orange shield attack- then you shoot him from behind. This is an example of the fun yet challenging levels in the game.

THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!

yeah thats what isaid back in '99 when it first came out. now when i bought it again hoping for a nice little trip down memory lane I was like "HOW MUCH DID I PAY FOR THIS!!!?!?!?!" yeah not good. there isn't even a multiplayer mode on it. and the chao system isn't even half as advanced as the one in SA2Battle. the framerate is worse than it was back on dreamcast. i gave it a 1 but i wish i could have gone lower. its outdated poo. but hey if you actually want to play through all the boring challenges and stuff you can unlock....drum roll please. GAME GEAR GAMES!!!! oh yeah and they are really aweful as well. so yeah the only thing that I think this game has going for it is its pretty box art. other than that...stay away please. if you wanna spend $40 on a sonic game, pick up the Mega Collection. those games a fun.
