Sonic Adventure DX (Director's Cut)

The Good
This game is great, why do people hate it? Me and my friend love this game. We looked at reviews for the Dreamcast version "excellent all over", Gamecube one "Terrible", we went by the Dreamcast reviews. They were right. Sonic was fun, Miles was fun, Knuckles is great many people hate it but I love treasure hunting, Amy is ok, Big was good and E-102 Gamma was good. Good graphics, sound and Gameplay. This has music from the band Crush 40, they make the game even better.

The Bad
The only bad thing is that there were a few glitches that I ran into, WHO CARES?

The Bottom Line
Good, if you hate this, you hate Sonic and that is like impossible. Great if you like Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Sonic Heroes you will love this, you can run around 3 adventure fields that have many levels on them. Station Square, Mystic Ruins and Dr. Eggman's Egg Carrier.

The Good
SAdx allows players to follow the same story through six different perspectives and continue adventuring through Mission and Trial Modes. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are reunited against Robotnik, AKA Eggman, along with the perky Amy and two new friends, Big the Cat and E-102 Gamma.

The Bad
Aside from difficult to control camera angles and brief storylines with Big and Gamma, the game leaves little to be desired. However, the storylines of each of the six characters overlap, leaving questions as to what the real story is. Each character tells his/her own version of the story, as if three little kids were arguing over who broke the kitchen window. Did Tails defeat Eggman's first contraption, or did Knuckles? Did Sonic win or lose the fistfight with Knuckles, or did Tails perform the fight all along? We just can't tell who's got the true angle, although we can all just assume that Sonic is the real hero.

The Bottom Line
SAdx is yet another great game featuring everybody's favorite super-sonic blue hedgehog, Sonic. And, though there is always room for improvement, Sonic Adventure DX has exceeded my own personal expectations and gone past the limit to prove once again that Sonic is indeed the fastest and greatest Hedgehog Hero of them all!

The Good
I must admit that I've never played the Dreamcast version of this game, so I will judge this game's merits on the Gamecube version alone. The game have its strong points, I know people have criticized the graphics on this game, but I find them quite good. Also a strong point for Gamecube users is that the library of Game Gear Sonic games are unlockable in this game, when they are not present in the Sonic Mega Collection. This game is a good first attempt at putting Sonic into the 3D platforming world.

The Bad
However, there exists many flaws in this game, with many elements seemingly lifted from Mario 64, I would have thought Sega would tried tried to innovate within the 3D platforming field, much like the original Sonic innovated the 2D platforming field. They even lifted the poor camera system of Mario 64 and made it worse...The fact that you had to switch to free camera every new stage made it really annoying...Also certain characters seemed to be added for no reason...after the first 3 characters of the game, the game loses some luster...

The Bottom Line
This game isn't a necessity for gamers, not to sound like a Nintendo fanboy or anything, but I feel the Mario platformers are much better than this game to experience 3-D platforming.
