There's a lot of Sonic the Hedgehog games out there, with an eventual Sonic the movie coming out. Suffice to say, he's here forever. So instead of looking forward, let's take a look back to Sonic Adventure. One of the better 3D Sonic games that even established some principles of the franchise, such as introducing the homing attack. Let's take a look at this classic in my Sonic Adventure review!
Let me know what you thought about my Sonic Adventure review! Also let me know what other games I should re-complete for New Game Plus!

Glad that you stuck to your guns rather than jumping on the bandwagon and ripping on this game. I'm sick of everyone telling me sonic sucks because it's the cool thing to do
People don't say sonic sucks because its a cool thing to do. People say sonic sucks because a vast majority of sonic games suck.
@@Chugalg that comment leads me to believe you haven't actually played that meny of them
Chugalg there are only like two that actually suck, and that’s coming from a guy that’s played all of them. What exactly is your expertise?
EC Repp sonic fans put up with way too much crap, a lot of them are subpar but you guys will sear to everyone that theyre great games, Sega is really damn lucky to have such dedicated fans
Daniel Requena I’ve really only been disappointed in three of the mainline games, and I won’t hold back any criticism towards stuff that I don’t like. I think that the problem comes from people who haven’t actually played the games that watched a Game Grumps video one time and said that it must be bad because internet person said so
Almost every gaming channel in existence: *_Sonic has had a rough time ever since the jump to 3D..._*
Dude, why the hell are you everywhere? lmao
It's so true it hurts.
Colors and generations are great, I personally think forces is.
Heroes and riders are fun games, to relax.
@@someguy7526 Honestly Unleashed is good Forces aint tho
It’s the truth.
Nice thing about the Gamecube version is you can unlock roms of the Game Gear games of Sonic which is better then just "Metal Sonic Skin" and you can still get that skin.
But they released collections of all the Sonic games on their classic consoles, like Sonic Spinball, Sonic 1-3, etc. I think the compilation was called "Sega Gems" or some shit? Either way, it makes the ports on the GameCube version a little pointless. Nevertheless, it was still cool to see older Sonic games on the DX version of the game as a kid -- especially since I hadn't really played 2D Sonic games aside from Sonic Advance 3 at the time.
@@themadhattress5008 Sonic Gems is indeed what it is called. I happen to have both for the Gamecube. That being said Sonic Adventure DX was 2 years earlier then the Gems Collection. The collection was literally the same games you could get in DX plus Sonic CD. As for being redundant, yeah it kind of was.
It was nice for easy accessibility. It was like "Hey, I can take a bit of a break from this and give this old game I unlocked a spin!"
Could unlock those in the PC version I had too, if I remember correctly.
I played SA1 for the first time this year and still absolutely loved it. The cutscenes have aged poorly and sure, it’s a bit glitchy, but the level design and soundtrack are brilliant. Sega NEED to remake this game
A bit glitchy?
As much as Sega loves pushing the nostalgia factor for Sonic (God, Classic Sonic has been in pretty much every major release since Generations), they could stand to remake the older games. Another option they could take so they don't have to shoehorn Classic Sonic into a game with the exact same formula as Generations/Unleashed is they could go the "Mario Maker" route. Yeah, it'd be cheap and they'd get shit for basically doing what Nintendo has done, but allowing people to make their own classic -- or even modern -- Sonic levels would be incredible in terms of innovation. If only Sonic were handled well enough and was more respected by Sega themselves.
They did remake it.....for gamecube
Max Attax That was a “remaster” which was actually worse than the original in several ways. I’m talking a Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy style remake
@@manimanistatue I dunno, SA1 holds uo a fair bit so a remake would be great... SA2... that game NEEDS to be remade due to it's broken elements plus put that Sumo Digital touch on those Kart levels.
Every intro to a 3D Sonic game review:
Sonic has had a rough time in 3D...
Not in Sonic Colors....... Sonic's having a great time in that one.
@@13KuriMaster Careful. I've heard that's a hot topic.
P.S. I totally agree tho.
@@13KuriMaster But it's barely in 3D.
I like every single mainline 3D Sonic game. Even Shadow and 06.
@@Gnidel Barely in 3D is still in 3D.
"Sonic has a rough time in 3D"
Since 06 and the boost formula.
I like the Adventure duology a lot like the Genesis games and Mania.
Personally, never liked the boost formula.
"Tails' creepily childish voice."
Well, he's a child, so...
I really liked his voice for it
@@sonicadventure3130 yea it feels genuine like Alphonse Elric was also voiced by a child in the first FMA
Personally it ain't so much that it's a kid, but that it's a kid that can't act. And I get it, acting is though and a kid obviously won't have that much experience bla bla bla. I don't want to shit on the kid, I'm sure he put a lot if efforts. But that monotone vouce with either huge excitement or no emotions at all just ruins the character for me
@@Pouilleux I agree with this, pretty sure the kid in the booth was just told to read what was in front of him with no feeling to it at all. It did sound pretty dead... x'D
So... Does anyone else think that Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 deserve the N. Sane (and Reignited) treatment?
Yes totally escpecially Adventure 1
or just sonic adventure 3.
Very much so, especially since the ports somehow were worse because of glitches
@@fluffyking94 Sonic Team isn't good enough to make SA3 at the moment. Maybe in 5-10 years.
No because they are bad!
Why's everyone roasting Tails' voice all the time? "creepily childish voice" WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HE'S VOICED BY AN ACTUAL CHILD. Tails Voice acting isnt very good but neither is everyone else's. His voice itself is fine. -
Here i COME, Sonic
It's creepy and weird because he's the only character who sounds like a child and he isn't a child and isn't supposed to be a child. All the characters are supposed to be adults or teens, so they should all sound like adults or teens. Tails shouldn't sound like a 5 year old with a mouthful of Cheerios. If all or most of the cast was voiced by children you could get away with it by saying "well everybody else sounds like that" but since he's the only actual child voice in the game, it creates dissonance.
@@p.v.7269 Tails is 8 years old, dude.
@@p.v.7269 Tails, Charmy, Cream and Amy are all kids, Amy being the oldest at 12.
Why would they cast a child to play Tails if he wasn't a kid?
@Lord Baphomet Hey Baph, long time no see~ Anywho, I'm curious to know exactly where that's stated, and is that Sonic game canon or Sonic comics canon?
The proper way to play Sonic Adventure, *PC version with Dreamcast conversion mod* .
*Avoid Sonic Adventure DX unless it is the original version for PC 2004 with mods or the original for the Sega Dreamcast* .
DX has many presentation flaws and bugs that ruin Sonic Adventure, it's like a really bad Special Edition of Star Wars.
add a NO BIG THE CAT mod
Star masterc YES!
The fixes that the conversion mod does to bring the game to its ultimate form honestly put it in the 9-9.5/10 range for me. Even with the jank that's inherent to the game, Sonic Adventure at least to me seems to hold up a LOT more than most games from its time. And, yeah, this does mean I'm one of those sacrilegious saps who considers SA1 to be better than Mario 64.
@@Nitroxity In a parallel universe, Sonic 06 gets delayed, turns out to be a good game and the franchise surpasses Mario by far...
I played the Gamecube version and I don't remember any glitches...
Lol this was my favorite game as a kid you’re a champ
MONSTER JUICED GANGSTER for me it was adventures 2 :D this one is the first I had though, I loved it!
I didnt enjoy adventure too much
@@ninjdraw8305 No one cares
@@misterhimura036 cool. Wow that really makes me sad, i REALLY WANTED SOMEONE TO CARE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 LIKE REALLY DID 😭😭😭😭😭😭
SA1 was my favorite as a kid too!!
Man, a remake of Sonic Adventure (and Adventure 2) on the level of the Crash and Spyro remakes would be a dream come true
I agree!
"Devo andare veloce" = "I must go fast"
For non italian speakers.
I'll take it! I'll take 12!
Jirard: "SADX on Gamecube is the most definitive version."
The PC version with the Better SADX patch: *_"Am I a joke to you?"_*
The definitive official version.
iirc Jirard always steers clear of the modding communities for his videos. He rarely even mentions them in his videos. But hey, that's what other TH-camrs are for.
That's mostly because he only covers official licensed products from the corporation themselves; if he covers mods, he'll lose revenue.
Wait sonic was on pc officially? Huh never seen it
@@GDRunny Sonic games have been on Steam for the past decade, my friend...
Great episode, man! It's refreshing to see someone not just completely shit on this game haha Really looking forward to Indieland this weekend!
People that shit on this game have actual sanity.
Detective Joshua I wouldn’t say it’s a good game, it’s just refreshing to not have another “Sonic Adventure is the worst” video haha
It is a good game.
Sadly, they judge it by the Director's cut version which it has glitches, graphical problem and others that actively ruin the original Dreamcast release...
Also, rule of gold: voice acting from the 90's will always be bad.
Star masterc oh man, that’s a shame. I remember really liking these games when I was younger, especially Adventure 2 Battle. I haven’t played it in a long time because I’m afraid to tarnish my good memories lol
This is honestly one of my all time favorite games
Same here!
Cringe
Did you just say....
SONIC ADVENTURE D X ? 👀
yes he did? ...
Sonic Adventure DX for PC is the better way to go because of the fantastic amount of mods avalible that not only help fix the bugs but add features like Super Sonic in normal levels and additional skins textures and some new and older levels.
Yeah, but only the retail Disc version.
@@YujiUedaFan no even the steam version can be modded to the levels I describe, as that its the current version I play.
Yeah, but you're saying it's good because people went and mod this game for almost 15 years so it could eventually be a decent version true to the original game (And it's still really far from done)
@@atre5763 Fuck outta here.
I hope the rumor about the sonic adventure remake is true.
Adventure being a good game already means a remake could avoid being disappointing like so many 3d Sonic games. For that reason I'd rather Adventure and 2 get remade than Sega making a third one.
I don't. We didn't have a fully original 3D Sonic game since Sonic Colors. Nearly a decade of unoriginality. I want new stuff! Remake could be kept for 40th anniversary, but now I am starved for new adventures.
Well, at least there is Spark the Electric Jester 2.
Me too, a remake of either adventure game with improved controls, visuals, and camera would be amazing. The second adventure port for Steam is so TERRIBLE! Really killed me so I took to playing the Gamecube version instead.
@@zeroattentiongaming820 all we need is adventure 2 style gameplay with new moves playable tails and knuckles and chao gardens to justify collecting enemy drops rings and emblems. Just bring back the chao garden dammit!!!
@@l1z4rdbr34th90 Play the 2004PC version with SADX Mod manager or Steam version with BetterSADX.
Solves the glitches from the vainilla DX and adds the original lighting engine from Dreamcast and the amazing original texture work.
Sonic Adventure 1+2 needs a remake collection
ikr
Yes, also, the plot for both games are way better than that bad fanfiction by Paramount.
Star masterc
Lol, so true
just throw away sonic adventure 1 and 2 and create a all new sonic game, and just add in SA2 Chao garden
Yeah they could use a patch tbh
What the heck I was literally just completing Amy's campaign in SADX as this video came out!
Fuck her story stressed out when I was younger. That robot gave me nightmares.
It's so refreshing to hear someone on the internet not default to Sonic hate.
thanks for this dude, people these days (especially big youtubers) seem to love to hate on sonic and always poke fun at all the 3d games so i am happy you have your own mind for this play through, great job! :D
The dreamcast version is the best version imo
Modded Steam version is even better.
@@ChiefMedicPururu and the completionist should try it RIGHT AWAY.
@@alexthejapanfan7905 I heard he doesn't count mods, even those fixing mistakes, bugs and errors.
@@ChiefMedicPururu did you ask him about this on Twitter then?
@@alexthejapanfan7905 No, but that's what I heard.
Steam Version + Better SADX + Mods is still probably the best way to play SADX for me. Being able to play as Super Sonic in levels, getting any character into any stage you want, the (much better) Dreamcast lighting system & level geometry with the improved DX character models; that stuff is really cool and adds tons of replay value to the game
This is the New Game Plus episode ive been waiting for!
I love this game and Sonic Adventure 2 so much. They are my absolute favorite Sonic games and even though every sonic game has excellent music, Crush 40's prog rock stylings are a match made in heaven for Sonic. Jun Senoue's Petrucci-esque guitar licks are amazing, and they never should've stopped making Sonic's music.
I always felt like DX was a downgrade that only just forced the SA2 style onto the game that was better with the cuter models. The missions didn't add anything for me. It's nice that the modding community has restored a lot of the original charm, but I'll keep playing the original on both my Dreamcast and on the Redream emulator.
Anyways, I'm very glad there's at least one mainstream TH-camr who actually loves Sonic.
Still one of my all-time favorite games.
We all know Alex is Big the Cat right? Super chill AF dude who wears sandels
(Also yes, Big the Cat is more intelligent then he seems, he did fly Tail's plane after all)
He sounds slow but he is average in IQ imo. Besides, it doesnt take a genius to actually pilot a plane.
@@valentinayalalopez1682 Man, I had a bad time learning how to drive a car.
Gotta give credit to Big for flying a plane
I was going to say " But he crashed the plane anyways", but then I remembered there's no landing gear in X-wing mode. Big the Cat really is intelligent to some extent.
I don't know, does a guy who gets into fights and belittles viewers in the comments section really count as "super chill AF"?
The real question. How did big the cat fit into tails plane?
Did you know about Better Sonic Adventure DX? It's a mod for the PC version that makes the graphics better and ads playable super sonic
Actually, it's an outdated modpack featuring bonuses from existing mods that's been basically superseded by SADX Mod Installer which installs the same mods but gives you more config options and is always up-to-date.
You can also use the 2004 version with the Dreamcast Conversion mod and others...
Does it work for Steam version too?
@@l1z4rdbr34th90 yes
Why does every reviewer use the xbox 360 spinoff of a remake of a remake of a remake instead of the original game?
I can fully recognize how flawed and broken this game is, BUT I can honestly say it is still so much fun to play and mess around with Sonic's movement.
If we are talking about glitches, those are solved with the original dreamcast version and PC with BetterSADX or Dreamcast Conversion mods or SADX Mod Manager.
About the now dated 90's style of the presentation for the story and Big the Cat, there is no way to fix those.
Star masterc
I don’t think they should be fixed since they add to the game’s charm. Also it makes sense since this game was made in the 90s.
Agreed. The Spin Dash is so broken in Sonic Adventure (and Adventure 2 to a lesser extent) and it's so much fun just dicking around with it. You can use it to get the Crystal Ring early (thank god) and even 11 of the 12 Adventure Field Emblems with Sonic alone... though you will die getting the one outside of Red Mountain.
Cmon play the dreamcast version (the best version) it has less bugs and better textures and models.
@@thenippletwister3457 I don't know what this is implying
Getting this game on Christmas Day in 2000 when I was 10 year old with power stone and virtua fighter along with my Dreamcast was one of my fondest gaming memories ! Tbf I played it on steam recently and it's aged like milk lol but I still love it for nostalgia reasons .
That music was really good when indie land was playing 10/10 music for a moment
Can't wait till you play SA2 so we can see your reaction to eggman pissing on the moon
He sneeze, moon is borked
>plays steam/xbox live port,
Big mistake.
Port-ception.
Awesome episode as usual, i enjoy the couch setup you use in these videos, you do so much hard work and i don't know how you do it but remember that you have hundreds of thousands of appreciative fans, love ya man
Still my favorite 3D sonic game.
Even though this game has several flaws, I’ve always had a soft spot for the adventure series. They’re definitely some of my favorites
I'm looking forward to seeing Sonic Adventure 2 & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 on New Game +
(This isnt a rant against Jirard, his review is fine. It's just other people.)
Y'know.
I really hate when people apply modern gaming perspectives to a 2 decade old game.
Like dude, at the time it was incredible. Obviously it's not gonna hold up to modern games, which had more tools and less limitations. Duh.
Aside from Big the Cat, SA1 is pretty good. Sure it looks...wacky...these days, but if you place yourself in the late 90's it becomes awesome.
Worse thing is, they're starting to do the same thing to SA2 (Arguably the best game in existence, im not crazy, you are)
You ever think we've become too critical as a collective? I miss that childhood wonder...
People judge the Adventure series as if it was released in this day-and-age, but it wasn’t. SA1 was the first 3D game Sonic had and people tend to highlight the flaws rather than what’s good about it.
@Just Squid SA2 has better treasure hunting stages than SA1 because you actually have to think to get each emerald and the hint system is great. If a stage like Mad Space becomes tedious, is because they nerfed the radar.
Gamma's gameplay is better than the mechs, the level design for speed based stages still have branching paths but you don't have a setting like Sky Deck, Red Mountain.
Linearity started with the boost formula.
Just Squid
I disagree. The Adventure series translated the 2D Sonic formula into 3D too fluidly to not be considered a good transition. The foundation of SA1 and SA2’s design is pretty much on par with the design foundation of the classic Sonic games; fast-paced gameplay/platforming with rewarding exploration elements. And the implementation of that core design doesn’t necessarily means you have to go from point A to point B all of the time, and for all of their flaws, this was implemented well in the shooting and treasure hunting stages(which were obviously focused more on exploration). The reason they aren’t as well regarded as the Sonic stages wasn’t because they were bad, which they aren’t, it was because they were different and simply weren’t as fun due to the more restrictive, unique play styles they have. Also, later 3D Sonic games, while much more streamlined, took notes from the Adventure series with the way they incorporated an exploration element to a game mainly based on speed and platforming. Disagree all you want, the Adventure series was the closest we got to 3D Classic Sonic games, and are still solid games for their time.
Also, Pumpkin Hill, Aquatic Mine, Wild Canyon, Mission Street, Weapon Bed, Sand Ocean, Prison Lane, Security Hall, Dry Lagoon, and Death Chamber.
@Just Squid I'm pretty sure that all of that RNG can be reduced with SA1's radar.
The hub world alone is the reason of why i like more SA1 than 2.
As for the level design, i still don't think is linear because you are not doing boost to win and taking only one path.
A timeless game is a game that stands up to the test of time. Nostalgia is not a defense against age. I love SA, but you have to be able to put yourself out of the equation. "At the time it was revolutionary" is not a valid defense. There are good and bad games of every generation, and you can still like something that is not considered by the public as good, but you have to look at the game as a game. Yes graphics can get old and ugly, but bugs and mechanics at any era have always had the opportunity to be good, but it's on the devs to make them something special. TL:DR It is 100% fair to judge a game by modern standards. A good game is a good game no matter how new or old it is, and nostalgia is not a defense.
Also in the Game Cube version you unlock sonic game gear games as you get more emblems
Underrated completion bonus for sure. Games within games are always fun.
I remember when I was 7 and my grandma came into my room and gave me this game with 2 weird blue creatures on the front cover. I had never heard of sonic but the second I put that in my game cube I knew sonic would always be a part of my identity
This game is the reason I became so passionate about the Blue blur and why I will wait patiently for another great sonic game.
No matter how many Sonic boom‘s, forces, or 06’s come I will wait for the next great sonic game
yeah the lipsync actually being animated to the Japanese audio doesn't really help with the overly animated mouths
but flaws & all I still think this game aged kinda well hopefully Iizuka actually gets to make the SA1 remake he said he (& pretty much every actual fan) would love to see made ...a remake that if it happens then it moves the actual fishing to a mini-game in the Chao Garden & just makes Big gameplay about flipping every table, car & robot that gets between him & Froggy
If I remember, Sonic Team didn't have anything to do with Sonic X-Treme. It was an American production, I think? I remember one of the big setbacks was that the game was being developed in the NiGHTS engine and then Yuji Naka took issue with it being used. I seem to recall some severe development hell coming into play before it was cancelled.

Thank you for this video! I loved this game as well! It sucks so many people blindly sh** on it on today.
I agree, not all 3D Sonic Games are bad.
It's just boring that everyone just makes fun of 3D Sonic Games, cause "It's the cool Thing to do".
I'm not one of those guys.
It's not just "the cool thing to do", it's simply true. Most of them are trash. It really is that simple. Just wanting to be "different" and "not so mainstream" by claiming that trash games are good is pretty much as stupid or even more so than hating games just because it's popular. But yeah, most 3D Sonic games are just trash. No way around it. Sure you can be anti and try to be oh-so-edgy by saying otherwise, but we both know it's true.
@@thenippletwister3457 Ahahahaha. Your name really fits.
I despise Sonic Adventure's ports.
The best version is and always will be the Dreamcast version, though the PC version with mods is a close second.
I prefer PC with mods over dreamcast. Plus, it's possible to play the beta windy valley, add real 3D audio in the game through DSOAL, use reshade and 60 fps + HD.
Dreamcast Conversion has beta stuff re-added and fixes to stuff even the Dreamcast version messed up.
It FAR surpasses the OG version.
@@ChiefMedicPururu and the retranslated mod make it all so much better.
That intro didn't age so well
Plz complete digimon next order or cyber sleuth or hackers memory
While I'd love for him to do that, we cant do that to the beardman
Hackers memory ain’t that hard to complete unlike next order so I get what your saying
I completed Next Order in January. It took me 95 hours, so it is not THAT much over what it took him to complete Sonic Adventure. But now that I think about it I didn't technically fully complete it, I only went as far as the platinum. I was still missing some Digimon, but that's about it.
To complete next order it take about 110 hours
To be fair you can just leave the console on and idle grind in slueth and memory
this is truly one of the games of all time

Sonic adventure dx will forever be the best sonic game. It's amazing in almost every aspect.
It's called Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure DX is the mediocre port
@@BurritoGaming not really. Sonic adventure was the og game which was still amazing. Sonic adventure dx was the exact same game. So they're both amazing
@@BurritoGaming as a guy who played dx as the main way till i get steam latter dx may be a"bad" port but it still playable
I'm happy that FINALLY, someone gives Sonic Adventure a good break. Seriously, I'm sick and tired of so many people acting like "Oh Sonic has ALWAYS been bad in 3D when literally the first run was great. The Music, the gameplay, hell I'd argue that even though the acting is bad in many regards, the voices themselves are great fits. Your favorite is Ryan Drummond, and he is great. But I'll see your Ryan with my Dean Bristo. The guy is GREAT as Eggman, and it's a shame he passed when he did. Honestly, he's the other voice I think of aside from Mike Pollock when it comes to Eggman. A perfect mix of Sinister, mad, and even a little goofy.
ALL SYSTEMS, FULL POWER!
This & Generations are the only 3D Sonic games that I fully enjoyed.
Literally the first 3D run was sonic cd and it sucked. SA was a masterpiece tho
@@sivartgaming2174 what
Ah yes. The first game I discovered you from. Glad to see you play this game again after so long.
Sonic Generations is the best 3D Sonic game....
To me. Sonic Adventure 1+2 is a close second tho.
Generations was really good. Felt more 2.5 d almost. Lots of 2d sections even a few in the 3d levels.
Rob M
Modern sonic was 3D (with 2d)
Classic sonic was 2.5d
Personally, i like the adventure games more because they are similar to the genesis games. Generations is also a good game but i never liked the boost formula.
Yeah even in 3D sections boost sonic plays like a 2D game. You shift lanes in 2D fashion, mostly move forward, and the 3D sections are less common like drifting. Then actual 2D sections furthers the problem. I'd like to see an improved version of the adventure or heroes (no not shadow the hedgehog) in the future as boost isn't that fun. Just lots of quick reactions gameplay
@@SuperSSSSooonniicccc Windy Valley Autodemo from Sonic Adventure it's like a stage straight from Sonic 3&K or something like that, meanwhile, a stage from Sonic Forces is basically a straight line and a boost to win mess. At least when you have lines you keep at least some other pathways or change the geometry of the level.
10:26 "I wonder what happened to Sonic?"
Yuji Naka left SEGA and Sonic Team during the creation of Sonic the Hedgehog 2006
Yes! I was waiting on the Sonic Adventure New Game Plus! Thank you!!
I think if you look past the fishing element of Big's gameplay, there's actually some interesting bits of game in there. His levels tend to make a greater use of space than other characters, using his strength and ability to float in water to access and explore areas in ways no other character in the game could. Unfortunately, most of this exploration is just a means to find other fishing spots, and maybe some extra lives or a lure upgrade on occasion. Really, not even Knuckles, the character whose gameplay revolves entirely around exploring his levels to find stuff, has the same depth of discovery as Big does. If Big never engaged in any fishing at all, and the purpose of his levels was simply to find Froggy located somewhere by manipulating the environment to discover secret passageways I think his gameplay would at least be remembered as unique and interesting. Of course, that isn't what his gameplay is. These side paths are basically all totally optional, with only Hot Shelter even hinting at this potential with the need to open up the area Froggy is located. Big is a fishing minigame in a series with no real place for that kind of gameplay, and that's a real disappointment.
Thank you for completing a game of my childhood ❤️ love your stuff!
It's why I'm glad this game has a PC release since mods are a thing, and you can play as Super Sonic in other levels.
BEST SONIC GAME IN EXISTENCE!!! 😊🎮🙌🏽
Yea, but DX made the game graphics look like trash
@@BurritoGaming Sadly, yes...
what do you think is the iconic voice line from the game?
Readyyyyyyyyyyyyy GO!
Don't worry buddy.
Oh no.
It's no use!
Well “It’s no use” is more of an 06 line, I know Eggman says it here but no one really remembers it for that. I’d say the more icon is Eggman line here is “Get a load of this!”
But the best line?
“You fool. *Away... before I make mincemeat out of you.”*
Trashing on 3D Sonic is indeed old. We need more positivity with 3D Sonic.
Won't happen with all the delusional classic fans
*Didn't You Know?* Sonic Adventure DX is the sequel to Sonic Adventure 2, the beloved first entry in the 3D Sonic series. This game was notably less popular due to the lack of Shadow the Hedgehog after his death in the first game. However, fan outcry eventually led to them retconning the ending and bringing Shadow back as a playable character in the reboot of the Sonic franchise, Sonic Heroes.
Wut
I swear I'm literally the only one who's fine with Big's gameplay...
If his levels were optional, no one would have a problem with him, because his gameplay was actually fine.
I liked them
i think he should have been a gag character who just appeared multiple times throughout all the other stories chasing froggy, rather than a playable character with his own path
I enjoyed Bigs missions as well lol.
@@cybernnic ye
Damn it Jirard! WHY WOULD YOU REMIND ME OF THE EXISTENCE OF JNCO JEANS?!
Otherwise, awesome video!
Aw c'mon man, Deem Bristow was a GREAT Eggman. The mincemeat line still gives me shivers.
I haven't yet heard an Eggman that I didn't at least like. Robotnik on the other hand... well we all love a good PINGAS joke
Dean Bristow was peak Eggman. Between this and SA2 he had all he best lines and moments.
Just checked the sonic mania vid and then i see this nice sonic representation on this channel
I just want Pikmin 2. Please Jirard...
It would be amazing if he celebrated the game's 15th anniversary. The Japanese release was in April but the North American release is August 30th. I'm so excited to replay my favorite game of all time that day myself!
>play the Original and the Gamecube version
>Gamecube version is one of the more broken ones
May I simply recomand getting the Steam version along with BetterSADX mod?
this music genre variety in this game makes it magical. I also love how open and multi-pathed the stages are.
this game is the pulp fiction of sonic games.
think about it.
As soon as you said you’d be playing it on the 360 I was like NONONONONO!!!
Glad to know the 360 version is glitchy. I was starting to hate on it too. I loved my original Dreamcast version, was never as glitchy. I never played the Gamecube version, but glad to hear it was better than the 360 version.
I tell people if the can handle the subtitles, put the voices in Japanese. It seems to match up with their mouths better, and it just sounds better.
Even though Big's levels are my least favorite too, I enjoyed them because they were a breather from all the stresses of the other characters. I always played his story second to last as that breather. Played Gamma's story last because it was my favorite.
Loved the music too. One of my favorite soundtracks too. Hard to pick a favorite track indeed, but I was always partial to At Dawn for Speed Highway (the end of Sonic's part of that level or Knuckles level). Always was a nice relaxing jam.
Great review as always.
Yeah for some reason every new ports of Sonic Adventure 1&2 get worse. Sucks too because the original versions, and even the GameCube versions in their own way, do actually hold up way better.
Finally a sonic video where he doesn't mention 06
actually the best way to play sonic adventure is the pc version full in mods, in 4k, 60fps, sound improve, uses the characters from the dreamcast version or the modern version; fixes all the litle problems with many things and many more. That's all
Jirard has said in the past he doesnt like completing games that have mods, even if they help bugs and glitches, it opens the door to people say he used other mods to help him when that might not even be the case, and in case you havent noticed he 99% sticks to console gaming because its what he grew up with, the only pc games ive seen him complete is Half Life and Portal.
I still prefer playing it on my Dreamcast
Am I the only one who actually like playing Big The Cat in this game?
This is why I recommend the Super Sonic in Sonic DX mod. Its exactly what you wanted
Okay but, why TF is he playing the trash version of Sonic Adventure 1 and not the Dreamcast version or BetterSADX
Not a lot of people know that SADX gets worse with each port.
I think it's because he has that "play the most recent legitimate version" rule, whether it's better or worse
Most people playing Sonic games today will pick the easiest version to access, which will probably be either the unmodded Steam version or the versions available on more modern consoles (or the Gamecube version, because more people own old GCs than Dreamcasts)
Extended Long Well the GameCube version isn’t actually considered bad, people just don’t like the new look. The actual GameCube port is pretty good and has actually good additions, it’s just slightly glitching then the Dreamcast Original. It’s still one of the best ways to play SA1, and some cutscenes aside SA2 Battle is actually just outright better. Also yeah the lighting on the GameCube is actually no where near as bad as the HD versions, I still have no clue why that is.
Although nowadays we kinda have the best of both worlds with the PC version and mods letting you play what is basically the Dreamcast version at 60fps with all the original DLC and the DX additions.
Heck on you for the Tails voice actor hate. He was cute! Otherwise loved it.
@Jesse Quarnstrom In the original Sonic Adventure it was a boy
I Love the storyline of Bigs the Cat
Play tiny defense 1 and 2, bomerman generation, Red Dead Redemption 2, Rugrats the Royal Ransom,GTA online, and GTA 5.
Bullet bill plus sonic...
SONIC AND MARIO GAMES COMPLETION CONFIRMED, GUYS
Please do SA2. I LOVED that game!
Still waiting
You should have just played the 2004 PC version with the dreamcast conversion mod. it fixes all the glitches and the game is in actual widescreen
I glad you actually like this game and don't act like it's just a joke as everyone else does, this game does have some actual really good gameplay.
10 months for sonic adventure, 3 years for Mario 64. No wonder Mario 64 is quality, and sonic adventure has Big the cat.
Have you played Spark the Electric Jester 2, an indie spiritual successor to Sonic Adventure?

Oof that intro didn't age well
I know I'm almost 3 years too late. In SADXDC they were going to add super sonic as a story conpletion bonus. But he was so fast and odd to controll in the somewhat linear stages they took him out. You can still do it on PC with the better SADX mod
...sooooooo...we just gonna not talk about the Game Gear games as a completion bonus on the GC?... Okay.
They were removed.
Still waiting
I'm glad you loved the game too. I grew up with this game on the GameCube. I wished people didn't mind what port of SA1 is better.
I just want a generations 2 with a chao garden.
Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast) and DX (GameCube) were amazing. DX was a bit of a throw back for me, because I got SA on launch with my DC way back then. It was amazing at the time. Plus you could do stuff with the old modem on the DC that was fun... I grew up with Sonic on the Genesis, and have continued to play most installments to this day (yes, even beat 06) and this was peak Sonic for my personal tastes. Sonic 2 and 3 and the knuckles add on game were great, but they never had the depth and replay ability for me personally as the Mario games of the day.. and don’t tell me I’m not a Sonic fan, cause I saved my $2 dollar a week allowance to by my own Genesis to play Sonic.. my parents couldn’t comprehend why I’d need another game system since I had a NES SNES and always played PC games so I was on my own to acquire it and I saved that damn money when I was like 7. It’s like the biggest personal purchase of my early childhood, lol. All respect to anyone else’s opinions of course.. it’s just a shame when people online try to make their opinions out to be “objective fact” when if they’d read the definition of the term they’d understand that opinions are subjective. Subjective is not bad. If we want to talk about polygon count or colors displayed, perhaps lines of resolution those things can be objectively more or less, but even when you get into what looks better to you in those categories your in the realm of subjectivity.. don’t let people fool you kids.
This is a fun one to complete. Yes, even Big's missions are fun.
I just loved this game because I spent about 90% of my time in the chao garden.
Hell yeah, thank you Jirard. This is the best Sonic game, don't @ me nerds
@J Ciner
...You’re right, I’m just messing with ya.
SA2 is better imo, but I love SA1 as well
Played this on the 360 and loved it :) such good memories. I would love a sonic adventure 3.
Ok, who is with me for a remake for this game? Or better, a Adventure collection with Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes with the name "The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog", with grafics similar to the beauty of Sonic Unleashed, and refined gameplay and better camera
If they put the effort to put in Heroes, they should put the effort in to add Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), with the current voice cast and an option for the originals.
Why I say that for Shadow and ‘06, is because they basically share the same gameplay styles, and do deserve to be recognized as well.
@@Josh-The_Spooky_Bastard- I would call them for "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: The Dark Age" LMAO, but it could work with enough effort and help from fans who loves this game, search for how many fans are trying to remake these games, even if people say these games are bad, we love them, that's one of the things I love about the Sonic fanbase, they really do see the potential in these games
What a coincidence, when i was little and played Sonic Adventure 2 i had this problem with my controller that made Sonic air-dash if i held the jump button too long at random intervals! This only occurred when i was playing with my normal GC controller, and changed once i got a Wavebird.
