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
