An Overall Good Game

I think that this game is one of my favorites. It provides plenty of action and enough difficulty to keep you playing all night. You can play first as Sonic and later on as Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Big and Gamma. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles stories I think are great, but Amy, Big and Gamma stories were too short and only took me 1 hour to finish. Once you finish all 6 characters you can play as Super Sonic and finish the game. It is pretty easy though, which is good for younger kids. Older ones will finish it quick, but still have a good time playing it.

Sonic Adventure DX got panned by critics... So What!

I first played Sonic Adventure in 2000 on my Dreamcast. Loved the new style of sonic games and for its time, it was revolutionary. And so I bought this game just last week, mind you the last two games I purchased were Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Brothers and I had to compare them at least unconsciously.

Here is what I noticed, the camera angle sucks. It is shaky and all over the place. Some of the levels feel that more could have been added so that they could feel "tighter".

That out of the way, the character recreation is amazing. I like the personalities and different abilities of each character is given, the music is upbeat, and to say a long story short, it was hard to put down the controller. While Mario Galaxy I find it difficult to get more than 3 stars a day and want to go on... but then again that is me.

This game is rated as one of the lowest gamecube games and because of it I feel alot of people have been missing out on a flawed classic. Just to let you know, all of the games I buy I feel are excellent and so I've shoved this game in my dresser next to Metroid Prime and the Ocarina and Master Quest games.

I had a ton of fun with this.

I was so surprised with this game because it got such a low score here but I have to say that I had a lot of fun with it. The graphics aren't amazing, but they aren't bad either. In fact, they are rather colorful which in my opinion makes it seem less stressful and therefore more fun. Sonic retains his 2D speed rather well here, making it still feel like Sonic and not a Mario ripoff. There is a very solid frame rate that keeps the action going smooth. The game isn't ridiculously hard, but has a steady difficulty curve to keep you interested. The levels are varied, well designed, and loads of fun. There is a ton of replay value here, with the chao garden and multiple characters with their own story lines. There are some negatives with this game though. The music for one, is terrible. The cut scenes are pretty annoying but I continue to laugh when they talk because their foreheads move with their mouths. Not to mention the mouths keep moving but no words come out, like a bad dubbing. If you haven't played the Dreamcast version and you enjoy platformers, you should definitely give this a go.

What happened?

I remember playing this on the Dreamcast back in the day as well as the second in the series. I sold the Dreamcast when they stopped making them and stopped making games for the system to purchase another system of some kind at the time. I regretted never finishing the game completely and really liked the Sonic Adventure games. This turd is not the original game it once was however! I would think that re-releasing a game on a newer platform should IMPROVE the title, but apparently Sonic team didn't see improvement as absolutely necessary. The camera is wonky and the controls aren't nearly as smooth as they were with the Dreamcast's controller. The graphics have not been improved much if any at all, and the one thing a sonic game has going for it, speed, gets interrupted frequently because of the twitchy controls forcing you to get stuck on a wall in the middle of a big loop or something and you go from 60-0 suddenly. If you have never played the original on the Dreamcast, then this may be worth a rent if you really really must play it, but keep in mind that the original was a groundbreaking eye-popping fun experience and this barely passes as fun! If you ever played the Dreamcast version, there is nothing significantly different here, so don't waste your money.

An okay game...

I was always a huge fan of the Sonic games growing up, and when I got a second hand Gamecube I decided to get some Sonic games.

I was kind of disappointed with this game. There were some levels that where rather pointless and long, and some things that just kind of dragged along. And the camera messes up sometimes.

I wouldn't recommend this game to any old time Sonic fans because I feel you would be disappointed with it. After playing it for a little I went out and bought the old version games that were made for the newer systems and must say that I enjoy those much more.

the game is ok, kids love the chao garden, i believe on sonic adv.battle 2 there are more chao garden in there, so if you like chao garden maybe that's the one, but if you like sonic game the sonic adv.dir.cut is ok, the only problem you could only have sonic eggs, not other characters, so maybe next time sega/gamecube will create sonic chao garden only with many different character eggs, and different activities, bcs kids like it.

What a RUSH!!!

Before anyone reads this review, I have not played the original game for the Sega Dreamcast, so I really don't know how much of a Director's Cut this really is. I'm reviewing the game itself, not it's "new and improved features." That aside... WAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! THIS GAME ROCKS!!! The minute I put this in my Gamecube, and heard that electric guitar, I knew I was in for one awesome ride. And was I ever!!! SADX is in my opinion, one of the greatest 3D platformers of all time. Not to mention that it's a SUPERB installment into the Sonic universe. Anyway, the game itself is a combination of many different types of gameplay. Sonic's levels consist of blazing from one end of a level to another at break-neck speeds, while constantly fighting enemies and doing amazing tricks/stunts. Tails' levels have more of a racing feel. His goal is always to beat someone else to the end of the level. Knuckles' levels consist of finding missing shards of the master emerald, be they underground, underwater, or inside other enemies. Amy's levels have her running from a "stalker" robot, who she can't seem to shake no matter how many levels she traverses (of course she's carrying a mallot that's almost as big as herself, so she puts up a fight WHILE running). Then they're the two newbies to the series, Big the Cat and E102-Gamma. Big's levels are, to say the least, DIFFERENT. Unlike any other Sonic game to date. Does he run? No. Fly? No. Fight? Barely. So what DO Big's levels consist of?... brace yourself. FISHING. That's right, fishing. You find a lake, sit down, cast your line, and wiggle it around until you catch your target. Sad I know. Now E102's have a SLIGHTLY more Sonic feel. He runs around, jumps, flys, pretty much everything you would expect a Sonic robot to do. So whats different? GUNS (evil grin). This sucker targets every enemy in sight and fries em all at once. Don't expect anything quite as hard core as Shadow's game, keep in mind this is rated E. Still, it's a unique experiance. The storyline basically involves the crew trying to stop good ol' Doc Eggman from resurrecting an ancient water demon known as "Chaos." Of course, they all have they're own little side stories, but I'm not gonna give those away. The game also includes a bunch of little bonus features: old (and complete) Sonic games from the 2D days, side missions, and a buncha other little things. Anyway I would highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a good time. The ONLY downside I can think of is that they didn't put any multi-player stuff in it, but it's still fun to take turns with your friends and play. So basically it's a great game that should make any Sonic old timers or those just coming into the franchise, happy.

First I bought Sonic Adventure DX for my laptop. It ran just fine accept the fact that it was hard to control at first. Then I got it for the Gamecube. The gamecube version had at least a few differences. Then I was searching Yahoo for pictures of it and came across some that look lower quality-ish. I kept on studying it and it was for a Sega system called the Sega Dreamcast. I'm wanting to get a Dreamcast NOW in 2007! Too bad they don't sell like a Dreamcast II just like that XBOX now XBOX 360! And why exactly did Sega make a re-make when it looks better but you have fewer things in like the chao garden. Speak'n of fewer items in the chao garden the dreamcast version of sonic adventure 2 had bigger landscapes and better graphics. Well back to Sonic DX... I really like the game.

Eh?

This game is GREAT! i'd give it 5 out of 5 stars but...
I loved the dreamcast verion!
and i don't really see any "directors cut" about this game, everything seems the same...

so if you still have a sega dreamcast, get this game for that instead because it's the origanal, and the game editor took those extra scenes ((if any extra scenes)) out of the game for a reason.

so everybody is gonna click on "no" for "did this reveiw help you?
but hey, at least i got my point out.

Best sonic Game yet. better than sonic adventure 2.

Sonic went 3-d some years back, but he was very hard to contoll! now, sonic is back with all his friends in this unexpectadly good game.

PLOT:::
Sonic and friends battle it out to stop evil Dr. Robonic from getting all 7 chaos emeralds and feeding them to his watery like pat Chaos.

you get to play as 6 characters from the sonic series introducing BIG the Cat.

each character overlaps the plot. but in doing so, you learn more and more things you couldn't learn from one character alone.

also, this game introduses the Chao a cute little creature that can turn into animals and race. their fun to play with when the game gets frustrating. ((note that the Chao garden is much better in Sonic Adventure 2))

the music in this game i phenominal! i usually hate video game music, but this game has some rock, and lots of vocal parts.

to finish up this reveiw, Sonic Adventure is a must buy for any fan of the games or the newer show Sonic X.
