Yes, I know. Earth-shattering take. But I was only able to play it at my girlfriend’s house at the time, and I was in high school then, and she thought it was corny and stupid, so I had to mask my admiration for the game behind a layer of “heh waow”
I had all but forgotten about it until something jogged my memory of it a few days ago, so I did a bit of a vicarious revisit via YouTube and so on.
That game was awesome and I had a blast with it and I don’t care if it’s uncool. Suck my ass, Bethany, Sonic Adventure 2 (Battle) is fucking cool, The characters are fun, the story is more nuanced, complex, and engaging (dare I say epic) than it seems, and yes, the chao are adorable and the chao garden is great, and “Live and Learn” is a banger.
I am no longer ashamed! ✊🏻😠
It is probably nostalgia, since I was also super young and loved Sonic Adventure DX, but I also really enjoyed my time with SA2. I was just replaying it recently, and it was still pretty fun.
Although, compared to the open world Sonic Adventure 1 (DX or not, not sure what is the difference), I can see why would people be disappointed. There is a lot missing if you compare SA 1 and 2.
