    At best Sonic Adventure is an amusing history lesson for the tolerant, at worst it just serves as a reminder of how long Sonic has been floundering.

    Those vibrant skies still pop and the sense of speed is undeniable, but this is best left as a happy memory. [Issue#232, p.87]

    Sonic Adventure did not age well at all. The camera is frustrating and the voice overs are very weak. People who are looking for nostalgia could buy this game but even they should wait for Sonic Colors to come out.

    I could recommend this game if it came with a download code for the amazing soundtrack, but since that isn't the case, only the die-hard Sega junkies need apply here.

    In short, I would not recommend Sonic Adventure to any of my friends, acquaintances, co-workers, enemies or anyone else.

    Sonic Adventure (originally 1991) has just arrived on PSN today (USA today, europe 22nd) and is a must-have game for all nostalgilisticsSonic Adventure (originally 1991) has just arrived on PSN today (USA today, europe 22nd) and is a must-have game for all nostalgilistics (don't even know if its an actual word), and so far after 6 hours its been a blast. For those of you worried, fear not as the Chao-breeding simulation and the minigames are back!! Sonic Adventure offers much more beyond the completion of its story then any recent entries such as Sonic Unleashed or Sonic 2K6 (erghh i don't know why i even mentioned this one). Fans of the Sonic series will definitely be pleased with the return of Sonic Adventure as it carries all the features from the original game!! Please ignore the critic reviews as it only judges based on the aging of a 10 year old CLASSIC, but yes the cameras can still be frustrationing as well as the lack of a widescreen option (only 4:3) can deter the experience but believe me this is one experience you don't want to miss!! ENJOY :D… Full Review »
