    This isnt the best sonic game of all time.first the story isnt good it has so many plot holes everyone is fricking stuipd how do you get shadow and sonic mixed up they look nothing alike.ok plot holes dont matter its a sonic game well why do people give shadow the hedgehogs a tough time.

    Now lets talk about gameplay.The speed sections where you play as sonic and shadow are fun until the    This isnt the best sonic game of all time.first the story isnt good it has so many plot holes everyone is fricking stuipd how do you get shadow and sonic mixed up they look nothing alike.ok plot holes dont matter its a sonic game well why do people give shadow the hedgehogs a tough time.

    Now lets talk about gameplay.The speed sections where you play as sonic and shadow are fun until the slippery controls mixed with platforming is bad also i swear the homing attack is broken because i attacked some gun robots and i took a hit.There is too much platforming in this game in sonic games you are suppose to fast.Now lets talk about one of the dumbest ideas in this game TREASURE HUNTING in these types of stages you play as Knuckles or newcomer Rouge the bat.The sonic fanbase confusses me they complain about slow gameplay like the werehog in unleashed or Shadow the Hedgehog but they're cool with this.Some of this stages are too small and Knuckles and Rouge run to fast the only good treasure hunting stage is Pumpkin Hill why because its made for Knuckles gliding abiltey and good music.Now the worst part of the game the MECH STAGES these are slow and cluncky in these stages you play as Eggman or Tails when this stages start i want to throw up because this stages are horrible.Its Gammas stages from SA the whole gameplay is hold one button lock on and let go.The only good thing about this game is of course the music is amazing.but that cant save this bad game sonic 06 had good music and that game was total ****    … 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 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 reallyI really want to give this game a 0, but I can't do it. Despite this, I absolutely DESPISE this 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

    Sharp when played in short bursts. [Issue#225, p.83]

    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 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.
