INTRO:
> The next installment of Sega greatest game series ever, which took two
years for Sega to finish was worth the wait. This game goes above and beyond
its predecessor, with great visuals sound and inventive gameplay, and tons
of new characters like the evil hedgehog Shadow.
GRAPHICS:
> The graphics have been greatly improved since the original Sonic Adventure
that launch with the Dreamcast two years ago. The character animation in
this new installment in the Sonic series a lush, colorful and much more
detail then the first. The backgrounds are fully 3D and interactive. You
can also change the camera angle to get a better view of your surroundings.
CONTROL:
> The control in this game is just like the original, easy to get a hang
of and it makes it fun to control the characters and not a hassle like
in some game, new moves have been added like grind down rails, grab ledges,
and swing from poles. You will find it easy to get used to after a hour
or so. The Dreamcast controller is almost as good as the Genesis controller
from when the first Sonic launch
over
a decade ago.
SOUND:
> The sound is great the music really get you in the mode for spinning
down streets and running from runaway trucks. Sega did a good job with
the soundtrack. The voice acting is also pretty good, but could have been
better much like the sound effects, but the sound plays out overall pretty
nice.
FUN:
> Play as Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails and try to save the world or try Shadow,
Rouge, or Dr. Robotnik and try and destroy it. You can play in 3 different
modes in the two player section like action, kart race, and chao race.
You could just play in the one player mode with boss battle and story mode.
You can also connect to the internet download new chaos and post messages
and the new chaos
you
download can be used in the chao garden to race, or you can download the
new version of the vmu game Chao Adventure. This game will keep you glued
to the t.v. screen for hours at a time.
BOTTOM
LINE:
> If you like top notch action along with a very playable adventure, then
look no further. Sonic Team shows the world how to make games (again),
and this one's just in time for the celebration... That would be
the 10th Anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog!
Overall:
9.3 | Graphics: 9.5 | Control: 9.2 | Sound: 8.7 | Fun: 9.9
