Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

RE: Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

Because I only played the second one, and the absense of Amy Rose as a playable character in return for Shadow made it own.

Your move.

SA 1 had those dumb areas between levels, where it took me forever to find the next level. SA 2s levels were way more fun, and had much better music, too.

RE: Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

I have never played Sonic Adventure 2, but Sonic Adventure was awesome on the Dreamcast.

RE: Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

They're about on the same level. SA2B had better gameplay for Sonic/Shadow, but SA1 had better gameplay overall.

RE: Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

SA2B. Chao portion is better, levels are funner, and there's so much stuff to do (getting all A rank, chao emblems).

RE: Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

Oh god, never mention Chao again. All the work I put into those stupid things for 180 emblems... Grr. But at least I could use them in SADX.

RE: Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

Same thing for me. Had 130 emblems and an awesome Angelic Chao.

That was no match for a five-year old who managed to wipe my data.

Never played Sonic Adventure 2 Battle after that. Just waited for the waste of a game that was Sonic Heroes to be released.

RE: Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

Sonic Adventure 2 had three things that were better than SA: Graphics, Replayability, and Unlockables. Everything else...

Gameplay: It's not so much that the gameplay was better in SA (though it was, because playing as machine is so much better than playing as a person in a machine), it's that it was more varied. Not counting Chaos, SA2 had 4 modes of play. SA had, like, a whopping 6 or 7 or even 8 (or 9!) variations of gameplay that kept it fun and challenging (or at least fun, since I really don't remember SA being that hard).
Music: I was going to say the SA absolutely conquered this since all the music was at most LOVABLE and at least likable (as opposed to SA2 being at most LOVABLE and at least hated), and that SA2 only had only, like, 3 good songs, but the more I thought about it the more I realized it's not that the music in SA2 was bad, it's just that you couldn't stand to hear it on loop during a level after a while. So I guess I have to say it's a tie.
Storyline: HELLZ NAW. Sonic Adventure is ALL over this category. The way all the character's stories tied in (especially Amy's and E-102's) was brilliant. There's jsut something awesome about getting to see events unfold from different points of view. And the fact that you didn't HAVE to go to the next stage right away and could explore the island made it great. In fact, exploring the island was usually how you found the next stage.

Squeek: Amy Rose's levels are actually really fun. Using you hammer like a pole vault to go over high gates and to bash the crap out of enemies is greatly fun.

RE: Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

I was wondering if you guys are talking about the DC version of Sonic Adventure 2 or the "extended" Gamecube version.

RE: Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

They're both pretty much the same thing. Few people have actually played the Dreamcast one, though.

RE: Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

Does the GC one still have the bonus level that's unlocked when get all the emblems? Lord, I wanna see that level.

RE: Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

All I know is that the level in SA when Sonic is running along a desert path and slides down rails and stuff is the greatest Sonic level of all time.

Re: RE: Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

I have seen it.

It's glorious.

I wonder if I still have the video of some guy speed-running it.

*Edit* Wow, I still do. Pay me enough money and I'll upload it to youshareit.

The Green Hill remake in SA2B is fairly boring. I used to have the world-record time on it.
