    This game is truly amazing even though the controls are kinda slippery. The story, gameplay and levels are astonishing.

    The best sonic game ever created in my opinion. It is what every sonic should have been but wasn't. If i would give it a actual score it would be 9.8 and it is because i really don't like the level songs with lyrics they are really cheesy and stupid. But anything else is great, literally i don't have anything else to complain about the game

    Oh boy. This game is the exact reason i am such a huge Sonic fan to this day. Everything i love about Sonic the Hedgehog is here. The amazing rock and variety in it's music, the ambitious story, the fast level design, and the fast and fun gameplay. Sonic and shadow are the best obviously.

    Best sonic ever, nothing more to say, the only bad thing its the rouge/knuckles gameplay but with the sonic/shadow, tails/eggman gameplay makes a great balance

    Sonic Adventure 2 is a blast from start to finish. It still has what I believe is the most (non repetitive) content in a Sonic Game to date. The story is fantastic and the levels always feel like they serve the story, and not the other way around. I wish they toned down the Tails/Eggman levels, but that’s really the only major issue I have. There is a level of jank in movement, especiallySonic Adventure 2 is a blast from start to finish.

    Everything about this game is amazing: the story, the gameplay, the music. It's not perfect, but it's great. And this was Shadow the hedgehogs debute game.
    This is also home to one of the most iconic stages in sonic history: City Escape.
    The characters in this game have great development, they have personalities which the majority of characters in any other video game series lack.

    this is the best sonic game i have played the only problems are the camera and the tails and egg-man levers with death pits and the fact that if you still have rings you can still die and the final story were if you get a game over you have to do every thing over but it is still the best.

    Sonic Adventure 2 is a great addition to the Adventure series with it's top tier soundtrack and story still being great to this day. Some aspects show it's age and the gameplay has it's weaker points making it not as SA1. But it's still a great title that with enough playtime can get most sonic fans and gamers to enjoy themselves.

    This is an easy top 5 sonic game for a lot of reasons

    For starters, the story is absolutely the best in the series. Shadow's arc was done so well, his rivalry with sonic was amazing, it has a lot of amazing moments, and the ending is so memorable. The level design is also some of the best with a bunch of alternate routes, engaging gameplay and great set pieces. The only problem I    This is an easy top 5 sonic game for a lot of reasons

    The level design is also some of the best with a bunch of alternate routes, engaging gameplay and great set pieces. The only problem I have is that the knuckles and rouge stages do get a bit annoying towards the end.

    The music is iconic and probably the 3rd best sonic soundtrack. Live and Learn being probably the BEST song to come out of this series. Metal Harbor also is just amazing

    The chao garden is super relaxing and cute. I never really got super into it, but if they put it in a future game, then i might revisit it more

    Overall, this game is a BLAST, and is one of the best games to come out of this franchise    … Expand

    This game is one of the best 3d Sonic games if not one of THE best Sonic games. The characters are loveable, the soundtrack is amazing, the levels are unique and interesting, and the gameplay feels action packed and unique for each character. There may be some levels that miss the mark, but the good levels mostly outweigh the bad ones. The ending is also a tear-jerker.

The fact that this was the last Sonic game for the Dreamcast speaks volumes on how great this game is. It's great to know that Sonic still held the quality he had back when he started on the Genesis to the Dreamcast.… Expand

    If this is the last Sonic game in these declining Dreamcast years, it's satisfying to know that the DC didn't go out with a bang, but with a sonic boom.

    The graphics in SA2 are truly next generation material, and Sonic's stages have never been faster or more intense.
