Sonic Adventure 2

Peak platformer

I mean...it's Sonic Adventure 2. They made it into a MOVIE for crying out loud. This game is AWESOME...well, at least a third of it is, your mileage may vary depending on how much you like the mech and treasure-hunting stages (I didn't really at first, but they grew on me). Extremely difficult to 100% (as you can probably tell by my play time on here, I haven't gotten there yet) but also a lot of fun to learn all of the mechanics. I know a lot of people have issues with this version not working right even after adjusting the settings on the outdated launcher, but I think the worst thing that happened to me was the game crashed once after booting up. That said, there are some other things to note with this version (not all are necessarily bad): -The music in cutscenes can be way too loud sometimes (the captions are the duct tape holding them together) -Some cutscenes are still in 4:3 (prerendered ones and in-engine ones with a lot of effects) -Movement, primarily as Sonic and Shadow while rail grinding, feels slightly less precise than the GC version (which apparently already feels worse than the DC version, but I've never played it) -Some A-Ranks in stages like Cosmic Wall have a higher score requirement than in the DC version (retained from the GC) -Expanded multiplayer needs to be purchases separately, which is...dumb I'd highly recommend checking out this game's modding scene, especially if you can't get it to work by itself.

hell yeah

YES SONIC ADVENTURE 2

so cool

Sonic Adventure 2 was my childhood game growing up. The Wii I had was able to play Gamecube games and I remember coming home from school every day, turning on the Wii and playing this nonstop. I always spent most of my time in the Chao Garden LOL. I'm so glad this game is on Steam now so I can finally replay it.
