Each character controls differently, and gameplay ranges from running to flying around and digging for treasure.
I mean, you can’t say Sonic Adventure isn’t ambitious. Sound and graphics aren’t everything, but even the gameplay is hit-and-miss…mostly miss. I liked the various boss music tunes, E-102’s theme is funk-tastic, and the Mystic Ruins theme is catchy (and mildly trance-inducing) in small doses. That’s not to say there aren’t some good tunes.
I love “Open Your Heart” (the game’s de facto theme song), but I love a lot of the 3D Sonic music and, quite frankly, some of that music shouldn’t be loved. the ones that pay stronger homage to the initial 2D games) are scored in a way that captures the simple exhilaration of moving at a high speed. A lot of the more “traditional” levels (i.e. It’s timeless-timeless in that way where it sounded old when it came out. The mouths are laughably bad when doing so. Some of the scenery is still nice to look at, and the characters animate decently…except when they speak. Maybe it’s the fact that it hasn’t aged well. As far as I know, Sonic Adventure was a success, critically and commercially, but today everyone seems to think that was because it was the first proper 3D Sonic platformer, and it was on a new system, and it was a launch game, and… The closest we got to a proper 3D Sonic platformer on the Saturn was Sonic Xtreme, and that was canceled. Sonic R is a racer, Sonic 3D Blast is the clunky, isometric port of a clunky, isometric Genesis spin-off, and Sonic Jam is just an anthology. Like, what if the Nintendo 64 never had a Super Mario 64, just Mario Party and Mario Kart 64? That’s all Sonic had for the Saturn. That’s the gaming equivalent of, what, a clip-show episode of Boy Meets World? Yeah, there were Sonic games for the Saturn, but there wasn’t a SONIC game. Sonic, for various reasons, never made a proper debut on the Sega Saturn the good men and women of the Sega gaming world had to make due with an anthology collection and a weird on-foot racer. We didn’t see much of him on that system. Well, that’s not true-there was the Saturn. Hell, his metabolism alone probably keeps him up at night poor guy probably hasn’t slept since birth. Makes my heart beat really fast, like Sonic. I mean, I like the taste, but it isn’t nice to me. Rating: 6 (taking “for its time” into account) 4 (if it were released today)ĭo you like coffee? Me either-upsets my stomach too much.
