The Tails levels are about as fun as the E-102 Gamma stages in Sonic Adventures, only with the added feature of finding power-ups and they are longer (balancing the speed and length so they aren’t as short lived). These seemed to have been more or less perfected since the first game. Hero includes the side of the story with Sonic (running levels) Tails (E-102 Gamma style levels) and Knuckles (treasure hunting levels). The….wait, they mistaken Sonic for Shadow? How can you mistaken blue for red and black? Are these elite G.U.N soldiers colour blind or something? Are you honestly they made a mistake over two very opposite colours? *sigh* Moving on… Around this time, you get to choose between two sides of the story, Hero and Dark. I love this kind of banter between two rivals. Shadow is like the alter ego of Sonic, making him generally awesome. You call him a fake, while he calls you the real fake, and Shadow claims to be stronger and faster than sonic, becoming instant rivals. Why? Well, when you defeat, a black hedgehog appears with a Chaos Emerald, called Shadow. After this level, you fight a boss, who is a little more challenging that Chaos 0 from Sonic Adventures, and it calls you the enemy.

It’s quite rare a company does this, and does it effectively, for that matter. It’s like they learnt from their mistakes and amended them in this second game. Running through the stages was a lot of fun, killing enemies was awesome, and jumping flowed better than expected. They just did it….well, right with this game. They were relativity boring compared to this game. Sonic Adventures just had this “get from point A to B” feel, with not much fun in killing the enemies or using the spin attack, just running and running. The enemy placement and the accuracy of the spin attack make attacking the enemy fun, as well as a fast pace game play that makes the game flow so much better. There are also things you can’t do yet, which require power-ups you can find in the actual levels further on. This level is very interactive and fun to play. This is what separates the first game from the second game. You board down the hills of a city to escape from the pursuing G.U.N forces. You are greeted with a nice catchy piece of music with vocals known as “Escaper from the City”, which is a nice touch for a first level. Yeah, not much structure on the story to begin with, but it will get better if you go along with it. The game starts off with Sonic in a G.U.N helicopter, apparently arrested, and he breaks away with a piece of metal as he falls out of the flying vessel.

The sonic levels were more fun, there wasn’t any fishing, the robot-mech levels were made better than ever before, no fishing, it was faster paced, no fishing….did I say there wasn’t any fishing? Well, I love this game, and I’m going to tell you why.

This is so much better than the first one. But that isn’t what I’m on about (well, yeah, I am :s). This included new features including a Chao market, different characters in the Kart racing should certain conditions be met and (of course), GBA transfer mini-games.

Sonic Adventure 2 was originally for the Dreamcast to follow up Sonic Adventures, and then it was given a remake for the Gamecube, called Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. This is a 3D sonic game that I will always praise. Sonic Adventure 2 Review by: Zircron Swift - 9.7/10 Sonic Adventure 2 Review Now this is a sonic game.
