Hey guys, i am celebrating the 10th anniversary of Sonic Adventure 2......... by saying how flawed it is. Yes I know, I may be a bit of a dick here, but not everything about it is all that bad.
The critics gave sonic adventure 2 critical acclaim as the best 3d sonic game, but seriously, let's dive deep into what this package has to offer.
Sonic has a lot of fun fast paced stages that are not glitchy whatsoever. But that's only a third of the storyline, there is Knuckles and Tails in the stage.
I mean, the thing about the knuckles stages are the same in Sonic Adventure 1, but it is now made more infuriating since the Radar system for treasure hunting is changed. Not that I am saying that knuckles is bad, it is meh or decent in my opinion (Meteor Herd and Aquatic Mines were nightmares tho, ugh). Now let's start with the worst character to play as in the game, Tails.
When you think of tails stages, you might think, "Yeah! I am going to fly high in the sky with tails, cause he has two tails because apparently that has to be a thing. 0_o." But it's completely the opposite, it is just a slow-paced rail shooter, UUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHH! I mean seriously, is sega really that stupid? All you do in the tails stages is just shooting enemies, thats... it. No challenge in it whatsoever even with the clunky controls tails has. I am not joking, these stages are so bad that it makes Big's fishing stages from sonic adventure 1 look as fun as fricking Bayonetta 2!
And speaking of Adventure 1, Sonic also has some flaws that keep it from being really that fun. Sonic has almost the same flaws as in Adventure 1, adding with the fact that Sonic has a pyramid cave stage where it is the WORST SONIC STAGE IN THE GAME. Moral of what I am saying: never mix fast paced platforming with puzzle solving!
Well, time for the dark stages, all the characters, Eggman, Rouge, and Shadow have exactly the same functions as the hero story stages (except shadow's stages are less interesting than Sonic's T_T)
Overall, I give the game a score of 6.7/10
Even though the tails and Eggman stages are insipid, Knuckles and Rouge had fairly decent stages. Sonic and Shadow's were the best ones to play in. It was an improvement from Sonic Adventure 1, but there are so many things holding back the game from being that good. In my opinion, I kinda did not like Sonic Adventure 2, so I will not recommend it to people who want to play it, but you can if you want to, this game has mixed feelings from many people.
