This game is pretty good. I like raising chao, but it gets repetitive. Its a fun game with a good story, but I don't like Rouge's and Knuckle's treasure hunting games.

On one hand I love this game, on the other....I despise it.

Many would argue that the Sonic Adventure series are the only well done 3D adaptations of Sonic, and I would have to agree. I'll start out with why I love this game. First of all, there's guns or anything, its just a fun plat-former, which you rarely see anymore. Its a very colorful game, making it easy on the eyes, and possibly bringing on some nostalgia. It features the blue hedgehog that we all know and love. The level design can be pretty good at times. Almost all of the no crystal levels are enjoyable. The new character, Shadow, is a less annoying addition than Amy was. With all of the characters you can play as there is a lot of replay value. The chao garden is also upgraded from the last game if that matters to you. Now on to why this game can flat out make me mad. First of all, yes the graphics are colorful, but I can't even really tell if they've been upgraded or not from the last Sonic Adventure game. On top of this there are slight frame-rate problems throughout the game. The music is horrendous as always. The worst thing though, is probably the camera. It was tolerable in the last game, but somehow it got worse, and is sometimes enough to make me turn off the Gamecube. Another thing would be the incredibly hard campaign. Believe it or not, the thing that you will die from most in this game is falling off the edge, which in my opinion is more frustrating than any other way of dying in a video game. Plus there are those stupid missions where you go out looking for the chaos emeralds, no one wants to do those missions, they're boring and they suck. Overall, it just feels like they rushed it out the door without giving the development team time to give it some polish.

M y personal favorite.

When i bought this game i didn't have a gamecube i bought it for my aunt's gamecube, it was an amazing exprience Then when i got my gamecube i had enough time to beat it, the chao rock i pent hours on them,the gameplay rocks(well it's sonic)And I liked the fact that you could play Robotnik(eggman)But my favorite part was basically the chao, but nonetheless the game rocks the only thing i didn't like was the common glitches in it but thats hardly a complaint.

Loud But Entertaining

My daughter loves this game. It is one of the few that travels between house holds. Mainly I think her father enjoys tormenting me with the noise of this game. However I will say it keeps her and my 4 month old infant son entertained. He has the best time watching her play it. One time he would not let me even take him away from her while she was playing it. Quite amusing to me.

She would love it if they just had a game of raising the chos. They are her favorite part of the game. She goes over the levels till she knows them by heart. She plays the game endlessly till it is taken away from her.

No Sonic game compares!!

It was so much playing Treasure Hunt with my cousin because I could usually own him at his own game! ^_^

I liked racing too but he was really good at that! We'd come out neck and neck, as far as who was better, but he had the small edge and I didn't mind. I'd always pick Amy and she has the illest powers ever. "Just wait a minute!" became my anthem and my friends HATED it! haha

The main adventure was damn good fun too. I remember playing this during the summer of 2002 and me and my friends would gang up in the garage while it was 75+ out, smoke a little something and game our lives away. Those seriously were the days!

i bought this game because a friend of mine suggested it to me. I LOVE IT!!! My absolute favorite part would have to be playing with the chaos! they r so cute!!!!! i think the levels are a litle tough, (and i am stuck on the game at the moment... :) ), but i still love the game, and i still play the levels i have already beaten because they are so fun!

I would have to say that the worst part of the game is the treasure hunting levels, and getting stuck. it is very maddening sometimes! lol. i hope this review helps everyone, and good luck! :)

I LIKE This! :-)

This was my second Sonic game. And I must say, I LOVE it! I don't care what anyone says. I see other points of veiw, but to me, this game is just fun. First, we've got our usual characters, as well as some new ones: Sonic, the superfast hedgehog. Tails, the multi-tailed genius fox. Knuckles, the echidna who guards the Master Emerald. They make up the "good side". Then theirs Eggman/Dr. Robotnik, Sonic's enemy, who has an I.Q. of 300. Rouge, a bat who loves jewels (>:K) And Shadow, a hedgehog who looks like Sonic.

GAMEPLAY: 4.0/5.0
The above characters make up the two sides you have a choice of playing: Hero Side and Dark Side. They're both the same basic story, but with different points of view, and different characters. I like this, and it can work for two people wanting to play. You just have to do it at different times.
Sonic and Shadow's levels are pretty similar, running through levels at top speed, gather rings. These levels are fun, and vary in design and scenery. Excellent. Tails and Eggman's levels have you just sit in a big robot and shoot stuff. It can get kinda annoying, but it's still fun in a way. However, I didn't like how they didn't have Tails fly around. Knuckles and Rouge's levels were another story. They're scavanger hunt type and you have to search for emerald pieces. They're my LEAST favorite. They get boring, and can take 20 minutes (sometimes) to finish.

STORY: ?/5.0
I'm not sure how to rate it. The story, in my opinion, was good. For those who disagree, this doesn't make me stupid or unimaginative because I have a different story preferance. Shadow's story was interesting enough, and it's all pretty OK. But there's not much of it. It's no masterpiece, but theres just enough story for it to work. More that 3 points.

SOUND: 4.5/5.0
I personally LOVE the music. I like the game's main theme song, the music for Sonic's, Shadow's, some of Rouge's, and some of Tail's levels, as well as the character themes. (except Amy and Eggman...) Sonic/Shadow with the rock-type music, Tails with it's upbeat-ness (what I can remember) Rouge with the unique, vaguely jazzy "la la la" type stuff...Overall, the music is great--with one exception.
Knuckles.
Oh, man. What were they thinking?! All sorts of genres for Knux and they pick...Rap. Rap music. And it's AWFUL! I got a headache from listening to "Aquatic Mine" and I'm not even kidding. It hurt! Terrible, terrible.
As for the voice acting, I've heard some bashes against it. I sort of liked it. They could have done a better job, but it wasn't horrible. All the voice actors are good. Especially Tails, before they replaced his VA with a girl. *shudder* Oh Tails, what happened?!

GRAPHICS: 4.5/5.0
I don't know much about graphics, but it looked pretty nice. Sometimes the lips don't match up, but at least Sonic's face isn't trying to come off. It's all good.

OVERALL: 5.0/5.0
You know the rest. A likeable game in my eyes, and hopefully others, too. If you're still unsure rent. Another cool feature to the game is the Chao Garden--Even when you're done, the Chao keep you entertained. Their so much to do with them!
That about wraps up my review here. Great game! Newcomers and longtime fans should enjoy it! (with a few exceptions, but whatever)

SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG IS AWSOME!

U people keep dissin' Shadow he is like the awsomest charictor ever! Sonic is ssooo weird (most of the time( he is ssooo mean to poor Amy)) Shadow's stages are awesome! Sonic's are just well... Shadow's "story" is awesome! I wish i was Maria, (not the dead part) but being Shadow's Best Friend!

From the Sonic the Hedgehog Games Made from 2000-2006, this is the best one. Overlooked quite frequently.

Now I know that the original Sonic the Hedgehog games where much better then any of our modern day ones, but this one is unique. I love the storyline and the stages are well done. Characters (except tails because he gets quite annoying) you can love for ages. Shadow the Hedgehog gives the whole Sonic the Hedgehog storyline an amazing twist.
You can beat the game and still have more to do! There are missions, and Chao...I love raising my chao. I have all chaos chao types and all gardens...(woo go me!). Chao are fun to raise. Now the missions, if you do all of them and get As for each one you will unlock quite a few things..(but I shall not list them...I don't want to ruin the suprise.) You'll be entertained for hours.
I love this game quite a lot...all of the other modern-day Sonic the Hedgehog games are too...soft....well I can't explain it but you may know what I mean if you play SA2B before playing the others, Sonic Adventure DX Directors Cut(Even though it was the original), Sonic Heros (which sucked the big one), Shadow the Hedgehog (2nd best), Sonic Riders, and the new Sonic the Hedgehog for the Xbox 360 (which I just received for christmas.). These don't compare to SA2B.
Take my word for it...you'll love it.
