Advantages: Cool graphics, Funny speech, extremely good gameplay
Disadvantages: quite short
We have seen many excellent platformers over the past few years usually with good graphics and the some great gameplay. Sonic adventure offers some real-deal graphics some fast smooth gameplay and 6 characters to play with!
The plot for the game is shall we say… pants and if you have played the Megadrive version then you will be bored all the way through the video clip as most are Robotnik making empty threats as usual. He is collecting emeralds for his new monster Chaos and the name originality really disappoints me as all the previous games were set in the land of chaos so you think that Sega could of though of one more name, but no!
The aim of the game is to successfully recover the emeralds and if chaos gets seven he becomes invincible so you have to get them first. Every now and again you will face chaos after he has another emerald and there for gets stronger with every one he eats so it does get harder. You play with six different characters all with diverse games, levels and hates for Robotnik of their own!
The gameplay on sonic is like a dream with all your characters easy to control and play with at most times making it extremely fun to run around. It is just a basic platform but seems like so much more when playing with lots to explore and find around the worlds you go to. The play is very fast at times and sometimes you wont even be able to control anything as you’re bouncing off barriers or whizzing down ramps at quite some speed and then it’s when you realize how first-rate of a platformer sonic really is. After hitting a speed up and you are racing along a massive stretch pf road, then look at everything sonic team has put into the back round. Dolphins, excellent scenery, and water these all make the entire game that much better to look and play.
The visuals on sonic are superb and are the dreamcast at it’s best so far. Everything looks pleasant and sometimes I was rather looking at the things to
my side instead of the character I was playing with. Everything is made perfectly and maybe that’s why the game is shorter than expected.
There are six characters over the game to play with…
Sonic- this is the main character and has the most missions out to stop Robotnik taking over Station Square with chaos.
Tails- the cool little fox is out on the same mission as sonic with some very fun levels to play on.
Knuckles- this is my favourite character as he can swoop fist first, do a punch combo, dig, and climb walls which are all fun to do. He is trying to get pieces for the master emerald he is guarding and the aim of his levels are to find the three pieces.
Amy- The cute, pink hedgehog is back and looking as hot as ever. She as a nifty hammer attack but it doesn’t do much and she is quite slow.
E102 “Y”- this is one of Robotnik’s robots and at first the aim is to kill sonic and good guys. But soon the robot realizes his master’s evil and makes friends with Amy. He can go quite fast, shoot a laser and homing missile and hover with a jet booster.
Big the cat- This big slow cat is out to find his best pal a frog who ate his emerald and went off to the city! He can only fish and pick things up.
Over all sonic is a great game and now it usually comes with a dreamcast and
*Cough* some companies give it away for free couldn’t give any names right now though.
You should get this as it is very cheap and worth the money and will definitely keep you busy for at least a couple of weeks straight.
I give it 9/10! Go get it!
