Editorial Review: Amazon.com: After several years in video game retirement, Sonic the Hedgehog returns as the star of a graphically stunning 3-D adventure game that blows away every other game in the genre. Sonic is joined by five of his friends in a massive quest that spans over 50 game levels filled with remarkable visuals and a pulsating soundtrack. Taking full advantage of the unprecedented processing power of the Dreamcast, Sega's development crew, Sonic Team, has designed several gravity-defying game levels that will keep gamers hooked. Our favorite level is Windy Valley, which requires you to survive the stormy perils of a tremendous tornado. This tyrant of nature chases you relentlessly before ultimately sucking you into the air and up through its eye. During the chase, the tornado manages to tear up just about everything on the screen. This dizzying visual spectacle moves so fast that you will literally hold on to the game controller for dear life. Assuming you survive the tornado, there are several more challenging areas to conquer, including a level that requires you to snowboard directly in the path of a fast-approaching avalanche. During the Emerald Coast level, you will race across a precarious dock as a killer whale attacks from below, destroying the wood planks underneath your feet while you attempt to outrun the crazed creature. We also liked the numerous mini-games scattered throughout this title. When you least expect it, Sonic Adventure tosses in some old-fashioned arcade action, such as pinball or bumper car racing. In between, you can raise virtual pets, known in the game as "Chao." These characters, which are saved using the optional Visual Memory Unit (VMU), can be combined with other Chao characters exchanged between friends or downloaded via the Internet. Gamers looking to show off the strong processing power of the 128-bit Dreamcast will definitely want to pick up this title. Simply put, Sonic Adventure's graphics surpass those of any other game currently available on any home video game system. Let the Sonic assault begin. --Brett Atwood Pros:

 Rating:  - There are better Dreamcast titles...Sonic Adventure When the Dreamcast first came out, this was one of the games you had to have. Sonic, being the cornerstone of Sega, was expected to be Sega's Super Mario 64. Although it failed to meet that expectation, they did create a fairly fun game. I still think if you own a Dreamcast that this needs to be in your collection. If you don't own a Dreamcast, there is no reason to find one just for this game. Graphics- 7/10 At the time these were really good graphics. They ... Read More Rating:  - ClassicThis game is a classic, although gaming has evolved quite a bit, once in awhile my son will put down his ps3/psp/ps2 and go for his older system to play this game. I know he likes it and thinks it's fun, even if it is for olds times sake. Rating: - This game kicks MAJOR BUTT!!!!I bought this game a couple days ago and I'm still not done. This game is beautiful, creative, challenging, amazing, ... The details are just mind blowing and stunning. For anyone who has a Dreamcast, you have to own this game. There is two things that I have to point out. First of all, the camera viewing angle isn't the best. Now, this isn't entirely a bad thing because it adds to the challenge. Also, I've played this game on a 26" and 42" T.V. I find that my smaller T.V. has a better ... Read More Rating:  - Best 3D SonicThis game is broken down into three components. There is the adventure mode that is quite subpar, minigames that are mediocre, and finally the stages that are very fun to play. Once you clear a stage or minigame on the adventure mode, it unlocks and you may just play it by itself from the main menu when the game boots up. You may play as 6 different characters, all with their own unique stories, stages, and minigames. I thought this was a brilliant implementation of the game. Although, admittedly the ... Read More Rating: - best sonic game everforget about mario 64 with its small words, you can run miles in better graphic in this game. True to its 2D predicesors in story and action, this game continues the story while actualy making sense in how you get from world to world. I think it is the best game ever. (i like it and play it so mutch that i could almost play it blindfolded) |
