    This is a re-release of the awesome title originally on dreamcast! Recognize this going in, the graphics are a lot of fun but may not be on par with the more modern stuff. This game was a lot of fun to replay, but BE AWARE OF THIS -- The game cannot exceed 1024x768 resolution, which means most PC gamers will have it horribly stretched on their widescreens or in teeny tiny window mode.

I use 1920x1080 and this game was taking up like a corner of the screen, best case scenario to retain its graphic quality, which is enjoyable still. A great title worth porting from an under-appreciated platform, it just should have been reworked to include at least resolution graphics options. HD Sonic is now available in "Generations"! But I wish this was too.… Expand

    It seems like before this game was made Sonic and the Camera had a drunken night together and Sonic said that he didn't want anything too serious and the Camera talk this rather harshly because they work as well together as a Mouse trap in a bowl of hot soup.

    The control scheme is also quite weird, I wish you were allowed to remap the buttons but, nope, we are stuck with the arrow keys,    It seems like before this game was made Sonic and the Camera had a drunken night together and Sonic said that he didn't want anything too serious and the Camera talk this rather harshly because they work as well together as a Mouse trap in a bowl of hot soup.

    I was hoping for the mouse to be the camera and WASD to be movement SPACE to jump and Q and E to be the action buttons.

    The story is also the same ol' same ol' for a Sonic game, Eggman is doing bad stuff, you've got to stop him.

    Music is nice though, but that's about it's only saving grace.

    Not worth $20 AUD, but if you can find it for say $2 or possibly free.
    Then I'd say give it a whirl, but if not steer clear and just look up the soundtrack on youtube.    … Expand

    Now hold on, don't take my rating the wrong way, the "5/10" refers to the game as a whole.

    If I were just judging the Sonic levels, I'd give it a modest "7/10" because the bits with Sonic are the best part of the game and I always go back to play them. Tails is pretty much just Sonic's story, except he can fly and the levels are abridged. I'm not into Knuckles' treasure hunting missions    Now hold on, don't take my rating the wrong way, the "5/10" refers to the game as a whole.

    If I were just judging the Sonic levels, I'd give it a modest "7/10" because the bits with Sonic are the best part of the game and I always go back to play them. Tails is pretty much just Sonic's story, except he can fly and the levels are abridged. I'm not into Knuckles' treasure hunting missions and kind of wish he could explore the levels to get to the animal capsule like in Sonic's levels. Amy has the same issues that Tails' levels have, but she runs at a really slow pace & can't fly, though I do like using her hammer. Gamma is alright, he controls well plus I like blowing the crap out of everything, and even his story-line is decently delivered. Big the Cat is terrible and boring as sh*t, but I'm pretty sure every Sonic fan is aware of that. The voice acting isn't very good and the cutscenes are atrociously animated.

    So as a whole, Sonic Adventure is a mediocre game, but that doesn't mean there aren't any good stuff in it. Like I said, Sonic's levels can be a total blast and present how a proper 3D Sonic game could be pulled off if Sonic Team stuck with this formula. Not to mention, the game's soundtrack is FANTASTIC, it's probably my favorite OST from any video game ever, all the tracks seem to play at just the right moments and fit their environments quite well(even the cheesy "Crush 40" rock songs).

    It's a game with a brilliant soundtrack & solid level design pulled down by horrible cutscenes & tacked-on characters that make the game drag tremendously...    … Expand

    Um jogo de ação e plataforma, com belos gráficos, que em termos de polimento não está legal, está péssimo, história que com o tempo você torce para acabar logo, personagens que... aah... patéticos (GAMMA, BIG), fases não memoráveis, mal otimizado.

    Pelo que saem dizendo do jogo estou bem decepcionado, ele pra mim foi uma das piores experiencias que já tive em um jogo do Sonic (depois do    Um jogo de ação e plataforma, com belos gráficos, que em termos de polimento não está legal, está péssimo, história que com o tempo você torce para acabar logo, personagens que... aah... patéticos (GAMMA, BIG), fases não memoráveis, mal otimizado.

    Pelo que saem dizendo do jogo estou bem decepcionado, ele pra mim foi uma das piores experiencias que já tive em um jogo do Sonic (depois do Sonic 4 ep1), Robotnik não é seu inimigo, o inimigo principal,é a câmera, eu lutei mais com a câmera do que os vilões, quando eu cheguei na metade eu fiquei louco querendo que o jogo acabasse logo, parece que conforme você progride e vai mudando de personagem, o jogo vai ficando cada vez mais incompleto, destaque para as histórias de Big, Gamma e Amy, tendo os piores controles e level design mais fraco de todo o game, e claro lutando com a câmera.

    Ele com certeza não é de se comparar com outros jogos da franquia como Unleashed, Heroes ou até mesmo o Forces, e se ele não tivesse uma história bem mais ou menos, eu iria compara-lo até com Sonic 2006, eu juro que estava implorando para que o jogo acabace logo.

    As pessoas dizem que Sonic Forces é muito automático e tem muitas paredes invisíveis (e é mesmo) mas nesse jogo, não falando muito em geral por causa do ano que foi lançado, mas no HUB da Mystic Jungle, meu amigo... quando você vai para a EggmanLand, tem mais parede invisível do que qualquer coisa. Pra dar um exemplo: na luta contra o Perfect Chaos, eu esbarrei em uma parede invisível e morri, eu me perguntei o resto da luta toda o por que ela estava ali. Então pessoal, o jogo não merece tudo isso que dão pra ele, e só pra constar, todas as fases, todas mesmo, não são muito boas.    … Expand

    A lack of polish in levels, badly acted plotlines and unnecessary adventure fields between core levels.
