Sonic Adventure 2 is fun. Very fun. But not perfect. The story is meh with really only one thing that bothered me. Sonic pulling off chaos control for the first time. Don't know why, but sure. The speed levels are by far the best in my opinion with their nice rock music and fun level design. They have the occasional puzzle thrown in there to stop you for a second, but it's mainly just speed. Oh and Sonic's in that, so automatic win. The mech shooters are kinda boring and control like a tank. You also have a health bar instead of rings, but rings help fill up the bar. You can lock on to multiple targets and shoot a ton of missles everywhere too. These are alright, but get repetetive. The treasure hunting stages are by far, my least favorite. I don't hate then, but I don't like them either (except for Rouge's security hall which can go screw itself). You're collecting three emeralds in a stage and that's it. The big problem here is how big the levels are. Especially the later space levels. You also have a radar that tells you close you are to the next emerald (gray is nowhere near, green is in the area, yellow is closer, red is very close, and the exclamation mark means you're within 2 feet of it). The problem with this is it only tells you the next emerald it wants you to find. So you could walk right by an emerald and not know because that's not the one it wanted you to find. Security Hall also has a time limit of 5 minutes to collect the emeralds. This level's fairly small, but that time limit is pressuring. The Chao Garden. I love this place. You start out with two eggs and hatch them with 3 methods. Throwing it, shaking it, and just letting it hatch. You get a hero or dark chao by raising it with one of the respective characters or beating it up with the opposite ones, but why would you wanna do that? :c After getting a hero or dark chao, you obtain the hero and dark gardens respectively. You also have a daycare where they can learn different things such as drawing, singing, playing an intrument, etc. A doctor who can tell you what your chaos' weaknesses and strengths are, what they like to eat, and other info. The principal gives you some tips on how to raise your chao and there's a black market where you can buy fruit, seeds, and other goodies for your chao. There's also a fortune teller who can name your chao or (by decling all her names) you can name it yourself! There's chao racing and chao karate is you got the DLC. I could go into even more detail, but that'd take way too long (possible guide?). There are also 2P battles you can have! Races, mech fights, and race to emeralds are all things you can do! Locally. Unless you got a certain mod. *cough* SA2BN [forums.sonicretro.org] *cough* All in all this game is great, but the chao garden and speed levels are all I 100% enjoyed. If you're getting into Sonic, pick it up. I'm sure you'll like it. Not into Sonic? Get a demo, then see what ya think. Diehard fan? How have you not played it once? For real though. I love dis game. c:
