Sonic Adventure was fun when you were playing as Sonic, Tails, Amy (To some extent) or Gamma. Sonic you have the classic GOTTA GO FAST bullshit that basically makes Sonic well, Sonic. Tails had you race against Sonic and the theme it had going in the story where Tails is trying to rely on himself more than sonic was actually a cool idea that really played out well alongside those missions and it came down to him going up against Eggman. Amy, while the game play was slower you had to make it to the balloon before a Robot could kidnap you for the most part, which gave those levels some sense of threat you have to deal with. And then you have Gamma, shooting missions where you had to kill your brother robots before your batteries died which gave a real sense of time to force you to complete the level without screwing around too much. Knuckles felt like a chore because honestly, his levels were obnoxious fetch quests to get the shards to his precious Master Emerald, and Big's levels were just something that made me question absolutely everything.
Sonic Adventure 2 on the other hand was only really fun when you were playing as either Sonic or Shadow because you were always ROLLING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND FOLLOWING YOUR RAINBOW. I would have enjoyed the Tails/Eggman missions if the levels you were playing on didn't feel unnecessarily long because of the speed each character goes and it should have had the race against the clock kind of thing that Gamma had going for in Sonic Adventure 1 and the Knuckles/Rouge levels suffered the same problems that Knuckle's missions had in Sonic Adventure 1.
If you only give a damn about the main game in the adventure series you're more inclined to enjoy Sonic Adventure 1 because for the most part the game required you to keep on moving.
For the games as a whole though I choose 2 over 1, there's more to like about SA2 in terms of content. Better Chao Garden, Multiplayer, Minigames etc. And those things made up for the flaws that SA2 had because of the main game alone.
