    Sonic Adventure 2 is a very mixed bag, graphically the game has held up ok over the years with bright colours however the voice acting is horrible to say the least. The music is decent enough and then theres the gameplay. Sonic and Shadow's levels are very fun and are how Sonic games today should play, however these only take up a third of the game.

The treasure hunting stages are incredibly boring and literally 0 fun to play and tails/eggmans levels are also quite boring and repetitive. The game isn't necessarily bad, however it is definitely overrated.… Expand

    Jogo com historia linda, mas peca em um aspecto em especifico, querer te obrigar a jogar fases de tiros ou a caça as esmeraldas, que é oque mais me irritou.
    Fora isso o gráfico é lindo, personagens novos mais do que bem vindos, o shadow se tornou tão popular quanto o sonic.

    Controls in this game are not good. Finished all stories in 18 hours. I died many times couse of the controls. The only reason why would I recommend this game is becouse of the Chao Garden. A lot of new stuff was added. Don't 100% the game...Just finish it.

    7/10

    Poeple hype this game waaaay too much. And even though it's not bad, it's another case when realy good parts of the game get drragged down by bad parts of the game(treasure hunting and mech sections). If the game were just speed sections I would probably love it, but it's not.

    Where do I even start? This game is a jumbled mess of gameplay, going from fast and exciting levels (which end up flinging you off of the stage due to bad camera issues) to boring easter egg hunts with a broken radar.

    The most overrated game in the series. So overrated that those who are neutral or negative about the game will be offended and humiliated by many. Although the gray mass believes only the majority, only a few dare to say that the game is not good.

    Why am I negative about this game? The main reasons: a terrible camera, poor management, a bad story with a huge number of holes and shortcomings, especially some of the things made me pissed. Boring, except for the last in each campaign, bosses. There is no open world, which upset me greatly. And hell, you can’t just get into the Chao Garden.
    Although the advantages of this game are, for example, good graphics, some songs, high-speed gameplay for Sonic and Shadow. Some levels, it’s a pity that all levels are set against a player with a terrible Homing Attack, although I have seen worse.
    What is the outcome? This game is very much overrated, it has a lot of minuses, or rather, a lot. And for me, this game is terrible in almost all categories.
    My rating: 4.4 out of 10.

    Simply incredible!!! History perhaps being the best of the series, phases with varied gameplay but without losing the essence of Sonic and of course, the first appearance of Shadow and Rouge.
    But there may be things that can be annoying, like the fact that we can't choose who to play with, just the hero campaign or the dark campaign.

    A huge downgrade from SA1 that starts off good and quickly goes down the drain. The story is a complicated mess, the gameplay stops being fun after Green Forest, the soundtrack is bland, just play the original instead.

    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

    O melhor jogo do Sonic disparado e também meu jogo favorito de todos os tempos, joguei no Dreamcast, zerei no GameCube e fiz 100% no PS3, esse jogo é uma LENDA VIVA e para o último jogo do Sonic no console da Sega, não podia espera menos. Meu sonho é Sonic Adventure 3, mas acho mais fácil lançar Half-Life 3 do que uma continuação para esse jogo...

    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.

    This is the best Sonic game ever. It simultaneously has a surprisingly well-written, emotional and engaging story - without all of the cringe that is common for Modern Sonic games - and a vast and fun gameplay based on a solid platforming in a thoughtfuly done environment.

It was a surprise for me just how many paths and juicy stuff there are in many levels like Final Rush and White Jungle - all of that just to encourage you to exploration and creativity without losing a sense of speed and momentum. 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.

    This game is my childhood, You could be sitting hours and hours just trying to do what's possible and still not be done with it, there's too much to do with the game and everything you do can be so much fun, this is the game that can be played by many types of players, If only sega has followed their own example of a godly game maybe it would be more succesful nowadays.

    Desde mi punto de vista no comprendo como Sonic Adventure 2 puede ser mejor considerado mejor que el primero. El hecho de poder explorar aquel diminuto mundo se hacía mágico, algo que se ha perdido en este juego.

    No creo que sea e mejor juego 3D de Sonic, pero es de os mejores.

    Look, honestly, Sonic Adventure 2 is and will always be, one of the best games of its generation, many people say **** about this game, and how "bad it is" and how "it aged so poorly", well my friend, this is false, yes it has aged poorly (really poorly in fact!) but, at the time, people had different standards for video games, everyone said that it was amazing at the time! everyone wasLook, honestly, Sonic Adventure 2 is and will always be, one of the best games of its generation, many people say **** about this game, and how "bad it is" and how "it aged so poorly", well my friend, this is false, yes it has aged poorly (really poorly in fact!) but, at the time, people had different standards for video games, everyone said that it was amazing at the time! everyone was raving about it, for the last Sonic The Hedgehog game to ever be released on a Sega console, they really went out with a loud ass bang!
    In these days, people hyper-analyze Sonic games and turn every single nitpick into a game-breaking problem, and they blame the game for their lack of skill, and plus, they act like these old games are new! And on the other side of the neighborhood in Mario's house, when people criticize Mario 64, people say: "Oh no no, it's perfect and plus it's defined a generation!" or just "well it came out a long time ago", which I can understand but, don't do the same to sonic games and act like if you're right.
    But for now, If you are looking for an incredible 3D Sonic experience, Sa2 is a perfect choice!
    Amazing game-play, great and memorable Story, expansive content, great side mode, basically everything to keep you up for a long time!

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