Sonic Adventure for the Sega Dreamcast was the first outing for the spikey haired blue hedgehog that enbraced the 3Dimensional roaming of the next generation consoles, and whilst Sonic's adventure into a 3D gameplay is excting and visually impressive, its a shame the Sega forgot about overall gameplay. Playing in first person you cut between tedious world-roaming intersections to find action levels, and the action levels themselves are flawed by too much holding down the joypad and going full speed doing nothing much else. There is also the constant camera-angle changes that make some parts of the action levels almost impossible, juttering around anywhere other than where Sonic is running. Despite this the worlds are extremely well rendered and designed providing some incredible action stages with all the traditional Sonic set pieces and pinball style in detailed 3D worlds. Overall, a fun and visually exciting game that is let down by some bad gameplay decisions.
