SIR, GO SAVE THAT CHAO HE IS SUFFERING UP THERE STARVING😭
Sonic Adventure 1 is my Favorite ngl 😭
While I do love both, Adventure 1 has a special place in my heart. It's one of my favorite games. I thought it was nostalgia, but I've played through it so many times and had a blast every time, maybe even enjoying it more as time goes on. I've poured a lot of time into it, had it on every computer we had growing up, and now on Xbox. It's just something about it
SA2 is my favorite.
Ok.

You know I just thought of a cool idea. What if you take all three gameplay styles of SA2 and instead of separate them fr different characters. You mixed them all into one? Now what do I mean by this? I mean imagine the primary gameplay is of course get to the Goal Ring. But you also got the mechanics of Mech shooting and the Treasure Radar. Take for example you play as Sonic with all his SA2 moveset/abilities and the main mission is to get to through the level to the Goal Ring. But Sonic also has some projectile attacks that can be used similarly to Mech gameplay. Either simply pressing the projectile button or holding down the projectile button to begin locking on to multiple enemies. Releasing said button to allow Sonic to lunch a volley of ranged attacks. Being either Sonic Booms, Homing Shots, or Cross Slashes. Also has you run through the stage your Radar will begin beeping, signaling that you are close to an important hidden treasure, or collectible that is needed to complete the stage. Or get an even more higher final score.
Now I want y’all to take this style…apply it to Sonic. And than apply to other playable characters as well. Such as Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Rouge, and Shadow etc. Of course there have to be some differences/uniqueness of characters. Specifically only in signature abilities such Tails’s flying, Amy’s hammer, and you get the idea. Then just make sure the stages are fitting for all characters. You CAN still do unique levels for certain characters just like in Mania if you pick knuckles, while he still share levels with Sonic. He also got his own levels and bosses made for him that only he can play. Now that’s a game idea wouldn’t you say.
Are you kidding me? Sonic adventure 3 is the best obviously
whats funny about this is, its implied that 06 is Sonic Adventure 3
My favorite part of Sonics Adventures Three was Sonic Man.
This is where I'd put my Sonic Adventure 3...IF I HAD ONE!
Sonic adventure 3.14 is far more polished tho, but I get that glitches are fun
There's no Sonic Adventure 3. Just the first one and 2.
The best one is...
Mine.
You can't have it >:(
incorrect. the best 3D sonic game is sonic the fighters.
It would be if it didnt have bark the polar bear

In SA2, if you find a shard that isn't on the radar yet, you get a higher score.
One thing I’d like to note is that the characters in SA2 are not entirely identical to their counterparts in the other story gameplay wise, as some get different upgrades, for example, shadow doesn’t get the bounce bracelet while sonic does, and rouge doesn’t get the air necklace, but knuckles does.
It's not just any adventure. It's a Sonic Adventure.
I played both in my childhood. (the original Dreamcast versions and the GC SA2B port + I've kept them and the consoles) I was playing SA1 more back then because SA2 had enough difficulty that I never thought that I could get to the final boss. (also explains why I never got to hear the full version of the awesome Live & learn song from that game until I was old enough to find out about it by watching an online walkthrough video of that boss battle) I finally got to that part in December 2022 and playing it then somehow made me become a big Shadow fan, so I can't wait to see that Ultimate Lifeform hedgehog in the third movie. Ever since I found out in my current adulthood that I can beat SA2, I've been playing that game more often than the first one. So I think that both of them are great games but that SA2 is a bit better because of those small improvements that it was made to have.
1 is better, I actually feel like I don't wanna blow my brains out. 2 is way jankier and if the game isn't cooperating and you don't know how to roll with its punches, it's so fucking over. The mech stages are boring and clunky, the treasure hunting is absolutely fucking horrendous because of the maps.
Tbh I don’t have a problem with the light dash in either game.
In SA1, it just encourages the player to use the spin dash to skip these sections cause it’s faster. Whereas if it had the instant light dash that SA2 had, spin dash jumping to skip these sections would be slower and thus not worth doing. And there are certain skips you can make with the light speed dash/attack by doing it on lower platforms to get to higher platforms. Even though I do prefer the SA2 light dash, it wouldn’t work in SA1’s levels imo.
And in SA2, the light dash being on the same button as summersault/bounce only encourages more skilful play. If it were on a separate button, then all you would have to do is mash the button when you know a light dash is coming up which removes all the depth that this mechanic has. Besides, a good method for avoiding bouncing to your death or losing your momentum is to jump dash before doing a light dash. After doing a jump dash, you can’t bounce but can still light dash so you won’t fall to your death if you do this.
SA2 also gets a lot of criticism for its nerfed spin dash and I just don’t get it. These levels are not designed for you to mash the spin dash button like SA1’s are. The game expects you to engage with the other mechanics like the light dash, rails, trick ramps etc to gain speed in these stages. Besides, nobody ever complains about the spin dash in the classic games requiring you to come to a complete stop and charge it but in SA2, having a small delay on it while still being able to move while charging it is enough to ruin the stages for some people. You can still use the spin dash to gain big speed going downhill and you can still make skips by spin dash jumping or spin dashing off slopes. You just can’t skip huge sections of the levels like you can in SA1. The spin dash can also be used in combination with the bounce bracelet to do super bounce glitches which is very fun to do
Sonic Adventure 1 will always be perfect to me. I always felt like Adventure 2 didn’t have enough Sonic while Adventure 1 Sonic’s story is the longest and most substantial.
Yet it's still hardly one third of the game, just like SA2 lmao.
Tf do you mean sa2 didn’t have enough sonic? Sonic gets 7-8 stages in sa1 while in sa2 he gets 6 but the speed gameplay as a whole gets 10, also the stages are longer sure they are less open but not many explore the sonic levels so making more linear added to its appeal to me
@@dogninja0180 In both games Sonic is about 1/3rd of the game, so it's either you like all or nothing, I don't really understand that either
@@pinhe4d321 yeah but there’s a big difference to me
In sa1 you play through ALL of that third in one sitting while sa2 spreads it out
@@dogninja0180 You're not forced to tho
SA1 for me. The hub world gives a sense of more exploration, it is called Adventure after all. The game still feels like its a world that just came from the Classic Sonic world, because its the first modern game. You can actually see, and feel some touch of mid 90s sonic, because it was being designed as a mid 90s game. Some classic vibes are still there from early 90s sonic, the 2D Sonic japanese art for Classic Sonic in the pinball game, The Casino itself feels like a throwback, but it obviously has a touch of the Modern Sonic vibe aswell, its a good mixture. The fact that Eggman is referred to as Robotnik a few times, Sonic 3D blast remixes, it makes it more special. Not that this is my only reason, but it helps. My main reason is the clunkiness of SA2 , and all the annoying levels sometimes being back to back, makes it annoying. The clunkiness feels less in SA1, you can arguablu just touch the Sonic, and Tails levels, not play the rest of the game, and it ll feel like a complete smoother, funner game. Compared to playing an entire Hero or Dark story in sa2 which has more Bullshit involved
It's obviously Sonic Pocket Adventure
UNDERRATED!
IGN agrees with that take
In terms of gameplay and accessibility, Sonic Adventure. In terms of story and music, Sonic Adventure 2. Personally I don’t think it’s fair to compare the two. They’re both special in their own ways. And I actually LIKE the mech Stages…. Sometimes. Mission Street and Weapons Bed can eat a dick though.
Also there’s way too much SA2 hate in this comments section, that’s cursed as hell. It’s fine if y’all think SA1 is better, but don’t pull a ProJared and act like SA2 was inferior in EVERY way and was overall a shit game. It’s not.
I personally prefer SA2, but I LOVE both games.
Got em both on my Xbox.
Adventure 1 objectively has the better hint system than Adventure 2
You have a great channel, I personally think Adventure 1 has the best controls, but the objectives can be a bit unclear on your first playthrough, but Adventure 2 has the better story, but in turn worse controls. I personally think Adventure 1 is the best tho. Great vid, I've subbed, you'll be big someday, never stop.
Thankfully Tikal is a decent waypoint. Not perfect but still good even without a map.
I just realized spark 3 is a combination of these. It's a wide open areas that you can run through straight ahead fast
12:54 Sonic’s head model is weird here. Did anyone else notice it?
My fav is definitely SA2
The amount of time I spent with Sonic R on my Saturn as a kid.. and I didn’t even have the 3D controller
Big's Big Fishing Adventure 3.
Sonic Adventure 1>Sonic Adventure 2 literally no contest
Personally, I think SA2 is better and it happens to be my favorite sonic game. However, I also love SA1 and it is still a top 5 Sonic game for me. I’m glad they had different gameplay philosophies when designing both adventure games because it makes them distinct from one another.
I often try to get into SA2 but too many things get in the way of enjoying it:
- You can't pick your character
- You can't meet the NPCs you're saving
- Too many zones blend together
- The stages are so small, they trigger claustrophobia or vertigo
- Exploration takes a massive back seat
- Mo-cap is unsettling
- Upgrades are WAY too exaggerated and unfitting
- Somersault sucks
- Bouncing to your doom when trying a light dash sucks
- Speed cancel is missed
- Nerfed radar sucks
- Clues tank your score even when they're cryptic
- Rolling naturally is missed
- Nerfed MOVEMENT sucks
- Seriously, why can't you turn around on the ground?? who thought this was a good idea???
- Enemy chains aren't as rewarding as they used to be, score aside
- Mode change is missed
- Amy is treated like an absolute joke
- The OST has less variety??? It certainly feels like it
- The *FINAL BOSS* is... a cancer lizard stuck in a cannon....
I could probably list more nitpicks like Goal Rings making no sense story-wise, but what I listed should be more than enough to explain why it's hard to see SA2 as an equal to SA1, let alone the better game. A lot of SA1 criticisms also applies to SA2 like the reliance on automation, unfaithful physics, and inferior playstyles wasting time, so I can't see ANY argument for SA2 being better, except for the sacred "It looks cooler so it's better", which... mo-cap aside, yeah, it does... maybe that's all some people really need, and that's okay, I'm just not one of them.
SA1 hands down. SA2 was such a not fun slog to me, the fact that I had to use mods to make this experience more tolerable isn't a positive impression to me.
Yeah i kinda gave myself infinite lives for sa2 because i didnt wanna get booted to the main menu every 4 tries lmao
I agree. I like both, but overall SA2 has a little bit more over SA1 for me.
The best 3D Sonic game is Mario Sunshine
The Second Adventure
Project 06 plays the best out of the 3.
Too bad that the release of the original version of that game got annoyingly rushed, and that it was never officially given that SA3 logo, causing that improved fanmade remake to have to be called Project-06 instead of Project-SA3.
Sonic Adventure is better than Sonic Adventure 2 , it's not even a competition.
SADX has 6 gameplay styles, 4 of which are good (Sonic, Tails, Big and Gamma), 1 of which is ok (Amy), and 1 of which is horrible (Knuckles). It controls perfectly, my favourite 3D Sonic gameplay. The hub worlds are ok, but i could get a little lost at first. Even now, I don't know how Egg Carier works and it's the backrooms of Sonic Adventure to me.
SA2 is just worse in every way. Firstly, they cut the gameplay styles to 3: Sonic/Shadow, Tails/Eggman and Knuckles/Rouge. You can't spam spin dash with Sonic, making him less fun. I liked the bounce but that's it. Tails is really good. It's a perfect evolution to Gamma's gameplay style with no real flaws. The only downside is that Gamma will start hovering if you keep the jump button pressed, but here you need to press jump in the air, which isn't that big of a deal.
And then there's Knuckles... Not only they made his moveset worse (i much prefer digging with jump+action instead of action in a jump), not only did they make Knuckles feel 1 shard at a time, not only did they remove Tikal, they made the levels awfully big to make sure you'll have a miserable time playing his levels. I can literally check every nook and cranny, but never hear a beep. Those levels are dreadful and not fun to play at all. For the linearity in levels, I think I like this more than SADX's hub worlds.
Overall, I think SADX is better than SA2 because it has better gameplay. Oh and also idc about the story. I play games for the gameplay, not the story. It's not like I skip cutscenes, I just don't care what story they are telling. Also I never even beat SA2, I'm currently on Sonic's Final Rush, but I think that's enough to start criticising the gameplay.

Winner: you decide in replies
I agree with many of your points, which is incredibly validating as I have written about a similar topic for a video I'm working on.
There is one point I disagree with. Sonic Adventure 2's audio mixing is actually a little better than 1's and this is most evident in the Knuckles stages. I feel like the emerald radar nerf was done for people like me, who get sensory overload very easily. I recently replayed SA1 and as soon as I landed in a Knuckles stage and the multiple radars were going off along with every other noise and sfx (Sky Deck is the worst level for this) I couldn't focus. I think the radar nerf is also a non-issue for people who like the game enough to replay it and know where to explore
are you high?
@@polocatfan I'm always high
I love this video and I didn't consider the ranking system. You're right! Loads of replay value. I don't get the same joy from just the time trials of Sonic Adventure 1. The ranking system was a great inclusion! I did my own version of this video topic last year and I wonder if you share any similar feelings I expressed in that video.
I wish Adventure 1 had multiplayer too. Adventure 2 inches it out by a hair.
Heroes>> SA1>> lost world>> shadow the hedgehog>> SA2>> 06 (the factuall order)
Sonic Adventure 2 is better no debate
I'd heavily beg to differ
I like SA1 and SA2 are the best, with heroes, lost world and dream team being from great to fine, but 06 and shadow the hedgehog being the worst.
DX is NOT a shitty port
Fun level: Sonic Adventure
Sonic: 10
Tails: 8
Knuckles: 8
Gamma: Seven
Big: 6
Amy: 2
Fun level: Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic: 10
Shadow: 10
Rouge, Tails Eggman: No
& Knuckles: 6
Winner: Sonic Adventure
Naw tails and eggmman are fun
2 just 2
5:25 ah yeah i love sonic advenzer
Sonic 2006 = SA3
The big fishing doesnt suck at all and takes skill lol people who say it is bad sucks from what i understand as i did them with ease to unlock metal sonic
Well wether or not it's good kinda doesn't matter this is a sonic game bug should have been a side thing not a big part of the main game.
@@butters9354 You say Big should be a side quest, but Amy's sole purpose for being there is "bird".
If Sonic had just said "yes" when Amy tried to dump the bird on him at the start of her story, she'd have no story.
And her gameplay sucks too, unlike Big's where it's just a skill issue en masse.
Big defenders don't know what punctuation is
Exactly, sonic R>>> SA1 and 2
Great video
SA1 forever
Probably Rush Adventure, followed by World Adventure.
The worst is definitely sa2.
