 An Overall Good Game May 23, 2008
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! April 26, 2008
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. March 30, 2008
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? March 26, 2008
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... January 4, 2008
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.
