Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic Adventure 2 is a 3D platforming game with six playable characters, divided into two campaigns: Hero (with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles the Echidna, where the player battles to save the world) and Dark (with Shadow the Hedgehog, Doctor Eggman and Rouge the Bat, where they battle to conquer it). Each character on each side has a playing style similar to the other characters on the side. The player moves through the Hero and Dark campaigns, switching between them at will. Each campaign cycles through levels of its three characters, telling different sides of the story. Levels have a variety of themes (such as cities, jungles, desert pyramids and outer space), with some followed by boss fights. The two campaigns’ stories occur in parallel; completing both campaigns unlocks a Last Story with all six characters, culminating in a final boss fight.
Sonic and Shadow play fast-paced levels, emphasizing platforming and gameplay. Their homing attack can lock onto robots created by Eggman and G.U.N., and they can grind on rails. Tails’ and Eggman’s levels are slower and oriented towards multi-directional shooting; they are confined to mechs in which they can jump short heights, hover and shoot enemies. Knuckles’ and Rouge’s levels are open and feature action-adventure gameplay with treasure hunting; in each level, they must find three shards of the Master Emerald. Their search is guided by radar and puzzle-based clues from harmless robots. Knuckles and Rouge can glide, defeat enemies with punches and kicks and scale walls, digging into them to find power-ups.
Sonic Adventure 2 Review
I’ve probably spent slightly too long playing this game as a child, started playing it on the gamecube and played it for hours without stopping, trying to get a good rating on every mission of the story, back then, it was incredibly challenging which made it even more rewarding to complete, even if I often got stuck on levels. While playing through the story, I spent a lot of time raising my chao, which I may or may not have become slightly obsessed over, and even after finishing the story, I still played with them, and played on multiplayer mode with a friend, which was also really fun and enjoyable.
Playing the game again, now on PC, was very nostalgic, the graphics seem to remain unchanged, and the controls are rather awkward without a controller, but even when I was little, the thing that impressed me was the story, which suddenly doesn’t seem as in depth, but it’s still very good, specially the ability to see the whole thing from both the perspective of the good guys and the bad, taking into account each character’s specific interests.
The levels are very well designed, with a good mix between puzzles, action and running around being awesome, graphics are rather outdated, but the game is playable, and has a good difficulty curve. I completely recommend the game
