Message: [QUOTE="FrootyLoopsSamurai, post: 282924, member: 2522"] I didn't play through Sonic Adventure 1 until a couple of years ago since I never had a Dreamcast when it came out and never got the Gamecube version. I was not expecting to like it that much, but it grew on me as I kept playing it. I'm an SA1 convert now. I like it more than SA2 except for the chao raising. I thought Sonic would be my favorite character to play in SA1, but the others are honestly better except Big. It doesn't help that Sonic's later stages get kind of bad. I also like the changes between each story like they're all being told through a kind of flawed perspective. It's like everyone is their own protagonist, and dialogue and the way things play out are tweaked to make the character you're playing as look better. Some stories just seem to flat out contradict each other when it comes to the details. I think it also helps that each character's story aside from Sonic's is fairly short. Even Big wasn't that painful because it's over so quick. Gamma's story was easily the best story I've ever seen in any Sonic game. Amy's was probably the most fun to play, and I wanted more Amy stages by the time I finished her story. I tried playing through Sonic Adventure 2 again after playing through the first game. I didn't even make it all the way through. This was in spite of having some nostalgia for the game. I think what really kills it for me are the search stages. Not all of them are that bad, but Rouge's levels in particular all kind of suck. I guess the evil path was supposed to be harder, so they made her levels more difficult to traverse or gave you a time limit. Rouge's space level is just the worst. The robot stages are also just kind of there. The Sonic/Shadow stages are generally really good. I would prefer SA2 if it was mostly Sonic/Shadow, but the other parts of the game really drag it down. There are too many lows and not enough highs for me to enjoy it like I did as a kid. [/QUOTE]
