the new topic this week is sonic adventure 1 vs. sonic adventure 2. i feel like we've had this topic before, but i guess its just me.

i enjoy sonic adventure 1 better tbh. the controls and music just felt better to me.
I like Sonic Adventure a lot, but I have to choose Adventure 2. Even though Sonic's stages and controls were more fun in SA1, almost everything else was better in SA2, it also had a really cool Multiplayer mode and a lot of extra Missions. Plus I can have a lot of fun playing as any character in SA2, but SA1 I only really liked playing as Sonic and Knux.

I did miss the Hub worlds from SA1, though.
I'll go with Sonic Adventure 2, since it has more stages I like.
1 had Emerald Coast and Speed Highway, maybe Windy Hill
2 had City Escape, Radical Highway, Metal Harbor, Green Forest and Final Rush/Chase (which one was the Sonic one again?)
Sonic Adventure 2 mostly because it expanded on the Chao Garden big time and made it amazing. Also I loved the music is SA2, yes even the cheesy Knuckles rap.
Played Adventure 2 first, played it quite a bit more than Adventure 1.

Adventure 1 hands down.

The character movement in 2 felt so weird and mechanical (especially the Tails and Eggman levels, pfff, what's up with that?) compared to the first game. SA1 actually felt like a 3D version of the classic Sonic I was used to. I thought the environments and themes of the acts in 2 felt really uninspired and boring, where with Adventure 1 every level felt so unique and fun to play through.
I haven't played either, so I'll contribute to this thread by posting ProJared's review of it.


Who agrees/disagrees with his points and why?
I disagree but regardless I can still understand where he's coming from and respect his opinions. Good video.

I think part of the difference in opinion may be contributed by the fact that he actually cares about getting A ranks in levels, and I don't, which in turn makes the Knuckles and Tails stages more enjoyable. If I were to actually try getting A ranks in Knuckles stages I'd probably tear my hair out.
I like SA2 better than SA1 because sega attempted to improve on what they had in the latter game. The mechanics worked slightly better and the story mode was changed to "teams" instead of individual characters, which felt better to play if you ask me. I especially liked how the story transitioned from one character to the next within the same story. It felt complete.

Gameplay also felt much better. With the exception of Eggman and Tails, everyone moved and played better. Extra modes and a cool multiplayer mode to boot where you could even play as Chaos.

Music was great. Improved from the previous and had leaned more towards rock which I like. Who doesnt like Jun Senoue and his skills?

Graphics improved... slightly. Not much of a thing to point out though.


I like this game because sega worked to improve what they had and for once beyond the classic era it was successful. Something that I hope to see in the future.
I could S Rank City Escape, Metal Harbor, Green Jungle, White Jungle, Final Hazard, and Final Rush because they're really easy when you know what you're doing, and frustrating to watch others positively when they don't. Sonic Adventure 2 is awesome, but if you asked me "What was the better 3D Sonic game?" I'd say it was 1 only because it set standards and followed a lot of rules Mario 64 had set.


Sonic Adventure is an all encompassing 3D Sonic experience. So it get's the vote. only thing it shoudl do to set itself more apart is they should have let Sonic be Super Sonic anywhere after beating the game. Still a pretty dumb idea that was cut.

I like Sonic Adventure 2 because

* Kosheh catches fedora

it has Shadow in it.

Cool
SA2 has an even worse Camera than SA1, and that' saying something.
while i don't care at all anymore about sonic or it's future; i keep a soft spot for the adventure games, and i still love them as of today.

I have a preference for SA1 rather than SA2, but a lot of that boils down to bias.

The most certain thing about both of them is that they have not aged well, they are full of problems, but have enough good going for them to be enjoyable to return to.

I'll have to save a lengthier post for later, I've got to go back to work.
I think this entire thread is about boiling things down to bias, so you're in the clear.
Adventure 2 was awful. The Tails/Robotnik and Knuckles/Rouge levels just sucked. Yes the music was awesome (to the point that it made the final boss good even though it sucked) but it was a really disappointing sequel.

I think a lot of people love it because they picked it up on the GameCube and it's cool edgyness made a big impression on their young minds.

Or the Chao garden. And I fucking hate Chaos.
