This game has a few small flaws which ruin a lot of fun in the game.

Graphics:

Hah! Sony can never top this! Smooth, fast and highly detailed. You wouldn't believe that the Sonic/Shadow-levels are still playable at such a furious speed. But... the camera is still bad. This doesn't matter in the Sonic/Shadow-levels since you just run forward. In the Tails/Robotnik-levels it gets worse: there's more platform-jumping involved. But in the Knuckles-levels it's a nightmare; you'll have to find 3 small gems in each level and the camera moves around you like a drunk. I even got dizzy from this!

Speaking of the Knuckles-levels, who liked them in SA1 anyway? In SA1 you didn't have to play them because you could choose with which character you wanted to play. This isn't the fact in SA2: you'll have to play the Knuckles-levels if you like it or not, so you'll find yourself searching a stupid little gem for 20 minutes to be able to play those great Sonic-levels again...

...because the Sonic-levels are top notch! It really catches the essence of good old Sonic 1/2, although it's a little too easy. The difficulty is compensated completely by the unbelievable graphics, though.

The Tails/Robotnik-levels hang a bit in between. Sometimes it's lots of fun to play, blowing up everything that crosses your path, but sometimes there's far too much platform-jumping. This sometimes made me want to throw my beloved DC straight out the window. I don't know what it is about 3D-platformers, I get frustrated much easier with them than their, in my opinion much better, 2D-counterparts.

Lots of people hated the adventurepart in SA1. I think it was a great idea but it wasn't executed the way they intended. It added a lot of depth to the game, although I admit it could be quite frustrating from time to time. That's also a thing that SA2 misses: depth. The rich and sometimes even touching (that robot had to deactivate his own "brother!) storylines of the original are completely missing here. It wasn't a good idea to sacrifice this for speed.

You'll finish the game quite quickly. After that you can do some extra missions for each level, but the fun wears of very fast. The multiplayermode is also very dull.

So how does is all add up? Making the game liniair was a big mistake. You won't be able to skip the game's bad parts, and it has got quite a few of them. So why did I still give it a reasonable mark? The Sonic/Shadow-levels are awesome, that's why. And altough there are only 10, 3-minuteduring ones of them, it still makes the game kinda worth your money. You'll keep playing through the flaws to reach these levels. So I think you should buy it, even though I don't think it has the charming character of the first part, nor the challenging gameplay of the oldies. And ofcourse to give Sega a final round of applause...

Last Game

Unfortunately, this game may be great but since Sega merging with Nintendo this is the last Sonic game for Dreamcast

Sonic Adventure 2.

Like video games where your constantly on a new mission, and the plot line is so engaging that you find yourself writing notes in bed about what you think will happen next?If not, this review will be worthless to you.Otherwise, I have 36 words:Buy It.Those last 2 words count as the missing 25.

best game of all time!

I have been a Sonic fan since I was 2 and I am now almost 13 and this is the biggest disappointment of my life as a Sonic fan. I should know because I have every one of the Sonic games in existance! SA1 was much better; you could choose your characters and it was much longer. They reeeeeeeally pushed the rival limit with them. This is was the worst game ever in Sonic history!

Buy this game !

This game is simply amazing. Some say it's harder than the first: Yes, it is, but I'm no expert at platform games and I managed to do just fine. Plus it's really rewarding to complete something which actually takes a little time to master.

Others say the camera behavior is bad: Yeah, but only in some areas. For me that did not degrade the overall enjoyment factor.

The most valid point is that the Sonic stages are too few and many might not like playing as Tails or Knuckles. To me, though, every part of the game has been fun and I haven't even bothered with the countless extras yet.

The voices are not perfect (but are appropriate), the soundtrack is excellent, and the graphics are stunning. I highly, highly recommend this game...

Super!

This is number one! It's like Sonic Adventure with adrenaline. It is totally worth the [price]! It is fast, fun, and challenging. The whole setup and gameplay is only a little different from the first one.

Not So Super Sonic

This game is a game with a good story but the character of Shadow was totally un necessary, if there should be a good/bad sonic it should be Sonic nd Robotnick not Sonic and Shadow. Fun but bad character development kills it.

it rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
