    Sonic Adventure 2 is for true Sonic fans that want to relive a time when the series was still fun to play. Despite the terrible camera and some audio hiccups, it's a great experience for old and new players alike. The Chao Garden and great price only add to the overall package making this one a sure fire bet!

    Sonic Adventure 2 offers the same thrills as its Dreamcast and GameCube predecessors without sacrificing too much. The online features from the Dreamcast title are unfortunately stripped, and the GameCube extras are only available as paid DLC – making this PSN download worth skipping if you already own either of the original titles. But for those who haven't yet experienced the fast paced adventure, this is a stellar port of an old classic.

    Sonic Adventure 2 has aged well. Nevertheless its purchase should be considered carefully, because of defects that already penalized the original version.

    The only real reason to purchase this port is if the prospect of scouting out a Dreamcast and a copy of the game seems a bit pricey. [Holiday 2012, p.81]

    Sonic Adventure 2 didn't really get an unanimously enthusiastic reception when it came out in 2001, and this "HD" remastering won't either. Even though the fans will be able to enjoy this game in full widescreen / 720P resolution, nothing else has been upgraded, and it's not even the best version to date (the GameCube one) that's been used for this. Worst of all, SEGA asks for an extra DLC purchase to upgrade it to the Battle version.

The game play is stillAdmittedly, this isn't as good as the earlier consoles. The story is still the best we've gotten out of any Sonic game. The game play is still solid with a fantastic variety to play as, add in the countless amounts of replay value creates a ton of fun that never ends. This may be nitpicking, but the multiplayer characters, and the menu screen skins for DLC was all really unnecessary. Maybe just because it was free in the dreamcast and gamecube versions of the game, and I'm just old. Besides that, it's still amazing, and it has aged perfectly.… Expand

    O jogo lançou em 2001 é e Uma master piece gameplay incrível história sensacional história começa do Sonic saindo do helicóptero da políciaO jogo lançou em 2001 é e Uma master piece gameplay incrível história sensacional história começa do Sonic saindo do helicóptero da polícia edai Sonic encontra shadow os dois luta depois Sonic e preso pela polícia depois Amy salva o Sonic edai vão colônia espacial Ark edai Sonic faz uma corrida com shadow sem mais spoiler vou falar sobre a gameplay

    A gameplay do Sonic e shadow e de correr e a do knuckles e rouge e de precurar a parte de esmeralda mestre Gameplay de talis e eggman e de atirar nos inimigos Ambas gameplay são diferente a melhor pra mim e a do Sonic e do talis tirando a do knuckles pra mim e muito chato O modo de dois jogadores e legal E tem o modo kart de corrida e o modo Boss attack e de Lutar com vários Boss

    No final do jogo você joga com super Sonic contra o biolizard Um final bem emocionante que não vou dar muitos spoilers. a trilha sonora desse jogo e incrível composta pela banda crush 40 Esse jogo eu recomendo muito mais se você gosta de histórias épicas e sombrias. Uma grande master piece sem dúvidas Obrigado pra quem leu essa Review um abraço e tchau.    … Expand

    Kinda overrated and dated, but still a decently fun time with lots of charm and Chao Garden

    Sonic Adventure 2 could have been a lot better from the get go. It's not the port that's mediocre, but the game itself. Eggman's and Tails'Sonic Adventure 2 could have been a lot better from the get go. It's not the port that's mediocre, but the game itself. Eggman's and Tails' gameplay is slow and has bad platforming, the controls are wonky, and it's just slow in general. Knuckles' and Rouge's gameplay is a little better, but it involves wandering around the level, looking for hints as to where the Chaos Emerald shards are hidden, similar to Sonic Adventure 1. The best gameplay is Sonic's and Shadow's, which is more running, but still not enough speed to match it up to a game like Sonic Unleashed or Sonic Generations. The Chao Garden is fun, but some of the nitpicky details make it a tedious gameplay mode at times. And the Cart Racing more isn't nearly as good as the SA1 version. The multiplayer is good though, and the new HD graphicss make the game look fabulous.… Expand

    I really want to give this game a 0, but I can't do it. Despite this, I absolutely DESPISE this game. This is the most frustrating Sonic gameI really want to give this game a 0, but I can't do it. Despite this, I absolutely DESPISE this game. This is the most frustrating Sonic game I've ever played. There are only two levels that I genuinely enjoy playing (City Escape (duh) and Metal Harbor), and they're two of the first four levels in the entire game. Sonic has no good levels after Metal Harbor. Shadow's levels are really boring and don't have any life to them. Tails/Eggman's levels control horribly and the lock-on sound gives me PTSD. The Knuckles/Rouge levels make me contemplate genocide on the Chao in the Chao Garden (which is an overrated pet simulator that I could give less of a f*** about). The story? A complete mess with more holes than a block of swiss cheese. The music? Hit or miss. The graphics? Not great, but this game is from 2001 so I'll let that slide. Also, I hope that whomever did the sound for the cutscenes was fired. It's really infuriating to see people praise this game because the entire Sonic fandom looks at it through rose-tinted glasses.

    Really should've given it a 0 out of 10.    … Expand
