Sonic is back in his 128 bit game. Sonic Adventure, this game was made for the dreamcast in 1999. This game has been turned from a 16 bit (Sega megadrive graphics) to the 128 bit (Sega dreamcast graphics) This game is filled with levels that are new (Mystic Ruins, downtown, red mountains etc:) With new characters including E-102 (Gamma) Big the cat. The game is fun to play.

I am a huge Sonic fan, and after all the fun Genesis games came out, I thought that they couldn't possibly get any better. I was wrong. The debut of 128 bits of graphics on the Sega Dreamcast was the greatest.

The action stages were amazing and I loved the fact that they had adventure fields, so I could run around and talk to people just for the hell of it. There were also different objectives for different characters in the action stages, which made it that much more interesting. Also, the story lines conflict with each other perfectly.

One huge drawback is Big the Cat. His story was awful. His missions included fishing for his friend, Froggy. The fishing was tough and not much fun. Another thing that bothered me a little was that every character (not including sonic) had only 5 action stages or less. They were fun as hell, but I wish that they were longer.

Overall, I recommend this game. If you don't have it, you are missing out on one of the greatest Sonic games ever to be made. I've gone through it five times and it's been loads of fun every time. I give it a 9.5/10 (Only reason it's not 10/10 is because of Big and the fishing)

Sonic Adventure is the classic 2D side-scroller come to life in full 360° 3D. It is still the best of the three games from the Sonic Adventure series. The other two are Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes, both of which fall short of this near perfect fan favorite. Sonic Adventure will go down in history as the game that introduced us to this generation of 3D gaming. It is so impressive because this threshold can never be crossed again. Every generation to follow will only increase the number of polygons that can be displayed on the screen at one time, but the difference will never be as noticeable and as shocking as when Sonic Adventure was unveiled. It is one of the most memorable games of all time.

In 1996 Mario 64 was released a Sega bleed a little, with Saturns inferior 3D graphic hardware and the cancellation of Sonic Xtreme, it left Sega in a state of shock. But with the impressive specs of they're upcoming Dreamcast system, the Sonic Team was full able to utilize its hardware. Considered the be the best, not only in sales, game in the Dreamcast library, it helped set the graphical standard years ahead of its time. This game, sales rivaling that of Halo, was popular enough to spawn a sequel, a TV series (sonicX) and a soundtrack. My friends are still fooled by its graphics, they think this game was made recently.It still is and will always be my favorite game.

After actually playing the game through multiple times, I have come to say this is easily one of my favorite games of all time. Is it perfect? No. Is it flawed? Yes. But honestly I do not care. Even in 2021, I still find this game, at least the original Dreamcast version, to be insanely fun.

Sonic's levels are well designed and a blast to play. Tails levels are more or less the same as Sonic for me, very fun to play through and speedrun. Knuckles' stages, while not perfect, are still really well laid out and the mechanics were intuitive, especially at the time. And E102 Gamma's stages aren't amazing but are really fun to just run and gun through. Amy and Big's stages still suck tho, however there's still a little bit of fun to be had even in the worst sections.

Overall this game is an easy 10/10 for me, however, it may not be for you, and that's completely okay. I'll still leave my old review up so you can see how my opinions changed.

Old review:

I don't really love this game, but don't hate it. I found the Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles portions to be fine, but Amy's gameplay sucked, and I haven't tried Bigs or E-102 Gamma's levels yet. This game is pretty flawed in my opinion, but there is still some fun to had here. Plus it has a good soundtrack. Just listen to "Open Your Heart," the games main theme. While it's not amazing, as it stands, this game is a solid 5/10 for me.
