The story ends up in outer space, and Eggman’s space base (or whatever it is) looks a bit like the Death Star in Star Wars. Unfortunately both stories share identical cutscenes. It’s strange you’re encouraged (by placement on the select screen) to see the Hero Story first and then the Dark Story, leaving you feeling like the bad guys had the final say. The Dark Story is all about Eggman taking over the world, and he does. Eggman, and accompanied by newcomers “Shadow the Hedgehog,” and “Rouge the Bat.” Shadow has the Vivi from Final Fantasy IX complex, asking himself “Why was I created?” while Rouge is to Amy what Waluigi is to Luigi, though Rouge has Knuckles’ skillset.
If you played the first game, you know exactly what you’re in for.Īll the while, there’s now a “Dark Story,” led by Dr. Bosses are easy on top of that –i t’s generally three hits and they’re down. The Sonic acts are about speed, Tails runs around in a mech firing homing missiles like “E-102” in Sonic Adventure, and Knuckles is still seeking three master emerald shards. It’s an action-packed way to start things off, but don’t get too excited.
You can pick up a lot of speed, and the second half of the act, you’re running from a runaway 18-wheeler. Perhaps rather famously, the game starts with Sonic “snowboarding” (maybe “streetboarding ”? ) down the streets of San Francisco. It was never as revolutionary as Super Mario 64, and Sonic Adventure 2 doubles down on a dated and broken formula, even though it’s better than the first game. At the same time, this game sends a signal that 3D Sonic is going off the deep end. You jump from mission to mission like a level or stage, not part of a larger map. Here, the only three characters in the “Hero Story” are Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, the same crew that’s been kicking around since the Sega Genesis. Basically every campaign after Knuckles wasn’t fun, and it was easy to get lost in the overworld.
In a way, Sega actually listened to the complaints of reviewers and gamers after the first Sonic Adventure.
