    The variety in Sonic Adventure 2 exceeds any game on the DC -- including Sonic Adventure. Pros: The Sonic and Shadow stages are fast and fun; variety of characters to play with different goals to play for; fantastic visuals; excellent level design; multi-player is stellar. Cons: Frustrating camera; frequent framerate issues; Tails' and Eggman's stages are the weakest points in the game.

    Full ten out of ten every time. This is without a doubt my favorite game of all time. Oddly enough for a sonic game the best parts of this one were its awesome story and UNBELIEVABLE music.

I'm serious, it's astoundingly good. I think you can still buy CD copies of it for 70-300 bucks. 300 bucks. For a DC soundtrack. I know it sounds ridiculous and probably wouldn't be worth it to most people but I would pay 1000 bucks for such a beautiful CD. Thankfully i got mine for under 100. I definitely encourage you to get this version over the ps2 remake. You can find Dreamcasts for like 30 bucks and this for around 20-25 used. This is such an awesome buy its ridiculous. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. AND DID I MENTION THE SOUNDTRACK??!?!?!?! Expand

    Honestly, I always liked the first Sonic Adventure a little better. This game ditches the adventure fields and focuses on a more classic setup. The visuals have improved. The voices are cheesy, but I believe you can change it to Japanese and it makes the game sound alright. This game is probably one of the better 3D sonics.

    This is easily the best sonic game I ever played.
    With good level design, great music and a good story.
    And fun extra's like chao garden and kart race.

    I recomend it to everyone who owns a dreamcast or gamecube.

    It was the helpless trial from SEGA with the Dreamcast to rescue it from the PS2. But in gameplay, graphics and physics the game was so good, that it can compete with todays PS3 and even PS4 titles. Yes, the story wasn't good, but it's a running game and such games don't need stories. It's very good that SEGA has ported it, because younger players can also play this masterpiece.

    I will be 100% honest now. SA2 was all SEGA needed. The pieces that make the game? Shadow, ARK and the story. This is my favourite game of all series, and I could say the "found you, faker!" dialogue from my mind. This is the game you want to go for if you're sick of werehog and 06.

    Sonic Adventure 2, although not as good as the first, it's still an amazing game! The story is phenomenal and the 3 styles of gameplay are all fantastic with Sonic and Shadows being the best. Tails and Eggman is like Gamma's stages but more unique and still fun. Knuckles and Rouges stages although sometimes annoying, I can still get a good kick out of it. 10/10 Great game!

    An action-packed adventure with smooth, nice graphics (at least at that time). Slightly buggy at times, however that does not affect the gameplay much. The 2 player mode is cool, however the shooting mode with Tails and Eggman is a bit pointless. The music is very nice and perfectly fits the whole experience. A very good Dreamcast game.

    While a few levels tend to overstay their welcome, Sonic Adventure 2 is still a very memorable experience. It was a lot of fun with fast-paced, shooting gallery, and treasure hunting levels. Add that to a good story and a great soundtrack, and Sonic Adventure 2 is very enjoyable.

    A really good game, especially his new versions. The fact that the history is good, and there is 2P battle, already does the game.

You can be Sonic, Tails or Knuckles, each controlling differently and have different goals for each stage they play. In Dark mode, you can be Shadow, Eggman and Rouge and you need to destroy the planet? Yes, this is the only Sonic game where you have the option to be the villain! Each story is fun, entertaining, and sometimes quite emotional. They all control very well, but Tails and Eggman's mech controls could be improved, but it isn't that big a deal. Then, as a little side plot, there's the Chao garden. Oh boy... the Chao garden is the most useless yet addictive side game of all time! By finding a Chao key in the stage you just beat, you get the option to visit the Chao World, where... you guessed it... chao live. (If you've been to the Chao World once before, you can then select it on the world map at any time.) You begin with 2 eggs, both of which will hatch in a few seconds and you get your first 2 Chao. Look after them by petting them and feeding them, and it'll change colour from blue to white or black, depending on the character you use. The more white or black your chao gets, the stronger it will be in their races. Races, I hear you ask? Yes, you can indeed race your chao in this game. But not the dreadful chao races from SA1, oh, no-no-no. These races are a fun test of your chao's skill and ability, and every time your chao wins, it gets happier and healthier, so it's a great way to get your chao stronger. You can even save your Chao to your VMU to train it on the go! There's so much more the Chao garden has to offer, but I'll leave that for you to find out. That's about it for the masterpiece that is Sonic Adventure 2, and do I recommend it? Yes! It's absolutely brilliant, and is pretty long, so it'll keep you occupied for months!So much fun, and I am still patiently awaiting that Sonic Adventure 3, SEGA... Expand

    As for the music, do I even have to say anything. From the moment you hear city escape all the way to live and Learn, this game will make you bob your head and tap your feet to it's OST.

    Gameplay:
    Sonic and Shadow are the classic 3d stages from the original sonic adventure, and really, you can't go wrong here. A game that rewards you with going fast rather than just giving it to you, and level specific gimmicks that are executed really well.

    Tails and Eggman use the formula that Gamma had in the original sonic adventure; and even though I prefer those stages, Tails' and Eggman's stages are a decent attempt, unfortunately hindered by some clunky controls that haven't aged too well. Mediocre at WORST.

    However, I can't say that I enjoyed Knuckles and Rouges levels, with Mad Space possibly being the worst part in the entire game. I enjoyed Knuckles' stages from SA1 because they were small spaces. Not only did SA2 decide to make the levels bigger, but make the radar only pick up one emerald signal at a time. These stages are why I have never beaten this game 100%, but they don't ruin the entire experience, an is worth getting through to play the other game modes.

    Chao:
    Have you heard of a game called duck life? well that's basically a clone of the chao garden. The Dreamcast also has a chao mini-game for the VMU. Unfortunately the original version doesn't have a menu pop up to show you chao's stats, so you just have to trial and error your way through the challenges. Still more fun than it has any right to be as fun as it is for a little thing on the side of the sonic game.

    In general, I would say that Sonic adventure for it's time is an amazing game, and looking back at it now, it's defiantly stood the test of time rather well, but there are better versions of the game out there.

    Sonic Adventure 2 may have not held up well today, but without a doubt has a lot of people's hearts tied to this game.

The levels are very memorable and beloved by many, such as City Escape, Green Forest, Metal Harbour, Pumpkin Hill and several others.Sonic Adventure 2 may have not held up well today, but without a doubt has a lot of people's hearts tied to this game. Sonic Adventure 2 is a 3D high speed action platformer released in 2001, and is one of the most memorable games in the Sonic franchise. The levels are very memorable and beloved by many, such as City Escape, Green Forest, Metal Harbour, Pumpkin Hill and several others. Along with the memorable level comes the story that may seem silly to take seriously but still has it's charm. Many fans of the game would agree that they don't really like the Shooting or Treasure Hunting parts of the game. This is mainly because those stages are more common than the stages everyone wants to play, which are the Sonic and Shadow stages. This is most likely because Sonic Team wanted to increase the length of this game. The game's soundtrack is also really good, even in stages that aren't so great. Jun Sunoe is the best guitar player ever, and best video game composer to this day.

    Also included in Sonic Adventure 2 is a sub game called Chao Garden. In this mode you look after creatures called Chao, and you can level them up and change their appearances by collecting Chaos Drives and Animals in the main game's stages. Leveling these Chao up makes them stronger at Running, Swimming, Flying, Fighting and increases Stamina, which is useful if you enter them into Chao Races or Chao Karate. This mode is probably the reason why a lot of people spend time grinding in the main game's stages, and the reason why they still play today.

    Included in the game is a multiplayer mode and kart racing. kart racing isn't very special. It's kind of basic, and the races aren't really that exciting. If you happen to mess up, it makes it harder to catch up to first place again. Multiplayer mode on the other hand has you and another player choose between racing with speed characters like Sonic and Shadow, battling with Tails or Eggman, and being the first to find two pieces of the master emerald with Knuckles or Rouge. The multiplayer mode is fun, and adds to replayability if you have a friend who is good at the game with you.

    In the stages and Chao Garden, you can receive emblems for completing certain tasks. There are a total of 180, and when they have all been collected you can replay Green Hill Zone from Sonic 1 but in 3D. It is a cool stage, but it doesn't work that well in 3D and doesn't feel like it's worth collecting 180 emblems for.

    Overall this game is fun. It hasn't aged too well with it's weird character animations and cutscenes or slightly clunky controls, but you will have a good time when looking past those flaws.

    Que faz o papel de sonic malvado, tendo praticamente as mesmas habilidades e sendo mais poderoso que o protagonista.
    Apesar do game ser épico em tudo, o grande problema dele é "apagar" a estrela do jogo, shadow, o jogo aonde o personagem brilha de vez ele tem que dividir tempo de gamplay com dr.eggman e rouge, se o jogo fosse focado em somente sonic vs shadow seria tudo muito perfeito, apesar disso oque temos aqui hoje é muito bom, com os 3 modos funcionando perfeitamente, jogar os 3 é muito divertido e a historia é uma coisa linda, fazendo sonic ser um grande herói.

    Sonic Adventure 2 is a very fun experience that everyone should try out.

    Sonic Adventure 2 is a very fun experience that everyone should try out.

    The story, while being a little bit messy, gets the characters' personalities just perfect. Sonic acts like your typical 15 year old, cocky and more. Shadow acts and is a good villain. He has a very deep story arc that really makes me cae about him. Some people say he is edgy, and I disagree. In this game Shadow, at first, you might thing he is that, but when you discover why is he doing that stuff, you really get sad about him and most importantly, you care about him. It's not like Shadow The Hedgehog, where they made him an edgelord, and you basically don't care about him, but in this game, trust me, you will. The voice actors are really good. Ryan Drummond is literally the perfect Sonic, David Humphrey is my favorite Shadow, Jeniffer Douillard is a great Amy and more. Even though the sound mixing is really bad at times.

    This game is divided into 3 gameplay styles: Action stages, shooting stages and the hunting stages.
    Of course the action stages are evryone's favorite, icluding myself. They are so fun amd almost all of them never get old. The controls feel soooooo responsive, and almost all of them are pretty well designed. My favorite is City Escape.
    The shooting stages are a lot of fun too. Even though they may be not as well designed as the action stages, they still have a lot of charm. The controls are pretty rough, but I just love beating the hell outta things.
    The hunting stages are... ok. They really have a lot of flaws like only detecting one emerald at a time, the radar is too small or the stages are too big. But there's something that saves these stages from being really miserable. The controls. Both Knuckles and Rouge feel incredibly slick and good to control. Thanks to this, I have a lot of fun searching for the Master Emerald pieces. Don't get me wrong, at their worst, these stages are really meh but are their best, they are actually fun.

    The soundtrack is probably the best in any Sonic game, almost all tracks are simply perfect. The chao garden is just... Great. The story, ok, it may be very chessy at points but I love the story in this games. It just feels like an Adventure.

    In conclusion: This game is still fun to this day. Sure, some parts don't hold up after all these years, but to me, I really like this game. I consider it to be one of my favorite Sonic games.

    How many years was it? 18? And yet this Game still holds up amazingly. Is it the best Sonic Game ever? No, i think that title goes to the first Sonic Adventure, but SA2 is still an amazing experience. Of course, people are currently hating on this Game as much as they can, but it's unnecessary and most of them haven't even played this masterpiece.
    Amazing story, decent cutscenes, awesome

    Sonic Adventure 2 was initially released back in 2001 as the swansong for SEGA's Dreamcast and man did the Dreamcast bow out with style.

    The game has 3 distinct playstyles. Sonic and Shadow have fast paced platforming with lots of corkscrews, tricks and excitement to behold. This gameplay style is more action-packed than it's predecessor, Sonic Adventure 1. These stages are the most fun
    Sonic Adventure 2 was initially released back in 2001 as the swansong for SEGA's Dreamcast and man did the Dreamcast bow out with style.

    The game has 3 distinct playstyles. Sonic and Shadow have fast paced platforming with lots of corkscrews, tricks and excitement to behold. This gameplay style is more action-packed than it's predecessor, Sonic Adventure 1. These stages are the most fun part of SA2. The game's level design is exquisite and require you to remain alert. But, these segments aren't perfect, there are a few things holding this playstyle back. The game's controls and collision can feel rather janky and unpolished which can lead to a few unfair deaths. Moveover, the game's lackuster camera occasionally struggles to track the player.

    This problem is most apparent in Knuckles' and Rouge's treasure-hunting stages. These stages require you to locate 3 shards of the master emerald in large 3D environments with a radar and clues to help to find them. This is probably my least favourite playstyle in the game. The radar has been nerfed since SA1 as that game allowed to track multiple items at once, while this game can handle one. This feels like a blatant excuse to increase game time. Other than those quibbles, this gamestyle is rather enjoyable. The level design is just as immaculate as the speed stages and finding the shards can be quite enjoyable.

    Just like how shooting up robots are! This incredible Segway leads us to the game's final playstyle, Tails and Eggman's shooting stages. These stages have you destroying robots and traverse the stages in a mech. These stages can be quite mundane until you acquire upgrades for Tails' and Eggman's mech later in the game. These really spice up their gameplay and the later stages become more frantic, fun as they really utilise these upgrades. And, you can go back to previous stages and utilise these new abilities to find secrets or move through the stages faster. This goes for most of the game's upgrades. For example, Sonic and Shadow's light speed dash has you speeding through a trail of rings at light speed. This utilised well in Metal Habour, Sonic's second stage.

    The Chao garden is an enjoyable extra mode where you raise adorable creatures and have them race and play karate. And the game's 2 player mode sweetens the deal.

But for anyone who played Sonic Adventure at the time of Dreamcast`s release, when it was revolutionary and its first truly fantastic 3D gameplay, sonic adventure might be a little bit better. Its cute, the storyline is quite consistent and you can notice how it was tailor made for the console and how they wanted to carefully build a killer game to promote it at its release.
    I cant find a reason for Sonic Adventure 2 to have a score lower than 90. Its fast, its colorful, there are many different stages that change the atmosphere dramatically. The gameplay its nearly perfect - of course there are glitches, most games do... but they are definitely not enough to annoy you. Its a special game for all sonic fans I`m sure, especially for those who prefer modern sonic rather than classic sonic (not saying non-sonic fans wont like it, its just that sonic is kind of a genre itself when it comes to people willing to buy it - they tend to either love it or hate it). Well this is one of my fav games ever!

    Sonic Adventure 2 was the 10th anniversary Sonic game and was originally supposed to be the last Sonic game in the Sonic franchise after the Dreamcast was doing really bad. Sonic Team realized they needed to make the best game possible and while Sonic Adventure 2 is not my "favorite" Sonic game, it is very close to it.

The story is the best story I have seen in a Sonic game. Eggman continues his path of destruction but this time he continues what his grandfather left off. That is an ultimate machine that can destroy the world and there is a lifeform named Shadow who used to serve Eggman's grandfather. I like the introduction to a new character in the game and I like how Sonic finally has a counterpart in the series. Another thing I like is how the open world was taken away because I found it extremely frustrating in SA1. Also, there are 2 stories which intertwine with eachother and 3 different gameplay styles. Sonic and Shadow rely on speed, Tails and Eggman rely on blasting enemies using a machine, and Knuckles and Rouge who hunt for chaos emeralds. I love the soundtrack, the level designs, and pretty much everything about this game! Expand

Also Chao Garden is a helluva drug - I spend in it even more time than in actual levels, i guess, trying to eugenize The Ultimate Chao. So, basically, there are two games in one package - one of the best platformers of all time and a tamagochi, lel.
