Man.... this act blew my kid mind back in 2001......... So, I remember being so HYPED for this game to release. It felt like years before it finally came out from the time it was announced. I liked the idea of a new hedgehog and Shadow was mega hype for me, couldn't wait to play as him. But this final act, talk about subverting expectations. Having both sides team up to defeat a greater enemy, Eggman walking everyone through what to do over the radio, flying through space as Super Sonic and Super Shadow all while the theme music is blasting, saving the world... But most of all, Shadow sacrificing himself.... It was all so dam beautiful :')
17:06 This part scared the shit out of me as an 11 year old because the music stops, Eggman says it’s all up to you, and you can tell that the final battle is coming.
5 year old me didn’t expect this game to go so hard when I first played it back when it first came out. I legit thought that the sound track was songs that already existed. Didn’t know it was just for Sonic. They went so over the top on this and I love it because it reminds me of the “extreme” aesthetic from the early 2000’s. I think this game gives me the he perfect sense of that! So grateful for the childhood memories.
This last campaign haunts me... I could never beat the knuckles section and it still bothers me today. (The game was my brothers, but he sold our gamecube because we got a wii, and I lost my memory card.)
I just saw the SGB playthrough of SA2 and saw the air necklace for knuckles. I never found that power-up. I went back to get it and was able to finally beat it!
RyanMason Howell I mean his life was at stake too. But eggman was on 300 iq in SA2. You actually saw him outplaying Sonic and Tails even almost killing sonic and if it wasn’t for Sonics plot armor he would have died
Me at the age of nine: bro this last part was so fucking epic. Me ten years later: this part was kind of stupid but it was okay. Me, now: bro this last part was so fucking epic, the current games need more of this.
He states in his diary that the military invasion of The Ark and the death of his granddaugther drove him insane. And we find out in a later game that he originally built The Eclipse Cannon with the intent of using it to destroy an alien starship.
21:22 the biolizard boss fight was my favorite growing up, both my brother and i got stuck during the floating part lmao even now this game is just as enjoyable as it was when i was younger.
@@sylveonemeraldz Oh god… They’re going to have The Donut Lord do it aren’t they? 💀 Not like I hate the Donut Lord, I love him actually, I just would really prefer if it were Amy, like the original
The military in Sonic's world (as well as the president) are the real villains of the story here. Their actions repeatedly put not just their own country at risk, but the entire planet as well.
Oh man, I remember playing this on my crappy little t.v that was in my room huddled up with my gamecube. When I finally finished this game and saw how shadow had changed and teamed to save the world my heart sank when he "died" especially with the picture of shadow at the end.
The finale of my Sonic Adventure 2 HD playthrough. I found the final boss to be more fun than I remembered, mostly because of the music. :P A couple deaths were edited out of the Biolizard fight for watchability.
It’s weird that suddenly there are vibrations like Knuckles said but when the camera angle switches it’s all calm again. (Also the stars aren’t outside aren’t moving at all considering how fast the ARK is supposed to be moving.) However I did enjoy Eggman’s heroic moments in this arc.
No he didn’t die Shadow only fell down to Earth knock unconscious in the ending of the Game which I guess you could say he kinda did die due that Shadow was supposed to stay dead after sacrificing himself to save the Earth & the entire Planets from the Boss Monster when Sega decided to bring him back due also to Shadow being a popular Character people liked & loved him when Fans asked Sega to bring Shadow back in a next later Sonic Game which they did in Sonic Heroes back in 2003
Then from Sonic X to uhhhh... Don't know the last game, she sounds like an old hooker. And with this current voice actress: Ahhhhh hahaaaaa, ah that's hot, that's hot.
Game Logic: "It's the Ultimate Life Form! NOTHING can stop it!" Real Logic: "So basically, you just hit the big freakin' thing on its back until it dies." Honestly, the REAL challenge this game would appear to have would be two things: Nonexistent Camera Controls, and Migraines caused by the dialogue that makes CAPTAIN RAINBOW seem like a masterpiece! X_X'
Call me crazy but I honestly think if shadow had stayed "dead" after this game, the impact of his sacrifice would be that much greater. I personally think, if they wanted, that they should have waited to bring him back several years later rather than the very next game.
i'm guessing its some kind of nutrient liquid to keep the Biolizard alive because there was nothing to eat in the core of the space colony for 50 years.
So not only was Shadow the one who ran through the Radical Highway, but he also fought the first stage of the Biolizard? Wow, Sonic did none of the Adventure stuff that's in the DS version of Generations. That's kinda stupid.
Dragonslord01 The thing is that since Sonic is traveling through time and space, he’s reliving moments of the past through a his own perspective. They’re not meant to be shot-for-shot recreations of their origins, but instead retellings of them. For example, in the console version, he fights Perfect Chaos in his base form, despite the fact that he fought it originally as Super Sonic. And he fights the Egg Dragoon in his base form as well, despite the fact that he originally fought it as Werehog Sonic.
The ending its just sad ... Sega you did a good job on this game good luck on makeing some new Sonic games make a game that fans will love..RIP Shadow the hegehog the ultement lifeform

It was all so dam beautiful :')
"Here i come you creep!" That line gives me chills everytime.
MrSonicSkillz I feel bad for the Biolizard xD. I bet it’s just like ‘it’s not my fault I was made ugly ;{“

19:48 When the cockroach starts flying
Hahaha
AH HELL NAH RUN
19:40 Did anyone notice that a tear runs down shadow's face right here?!
It's a nice detail
That was something that I didn't realize when I first played through the story
I still love this game after so many years.
This last campaign haunts me... I could never beat the knuckles section and it still bothers me today. (The game was my brothers, but he sold our gamecube because we got a wii, and I lost my memory card.)
I just saw the SGB playthrough of SA2 and saw the air necklace for knuckles. I never found that power-up. I went back to get it and was able to finally beat it!
gg9brother I found it on my own lol just by doing a lot of exploring.
I beat the mines without the air necklace
It certainly makes the levels harder but not impossible imho
TDK Dros Lil Bro me too it was live when I found it
This game just has something the other games don't. I don't know what it is though, but I do know that's what makes it so good.

It’s totally a “The motion capture studio is only a few meters long” situation.
@TheSunnyGamer They did. The credits list a motion capture studio and personnel.
@TheSunnyGamer Doubt it, it would be far less awkward if there weren't any restrictions.
One of the few times Eggman was ever good at all!

This is still the best game to get Shadow's skating down I feel. Like the hover effect looks so perfect here
The new ones look crappy
@@gaiazero598 Agreed. It's like he's grinding the soles of his feet into the ground. Barely any flames
Last cutscene gives me the feels.
One of the most epic endings to a great game!
"is that what chaos control is?!" boi shadow you were the one who introduced it and used it 😂
This video is so old, and so is the game, but I just played it for the first time now, and you helped me a lot. Thank you!
nothing is fucking cooler than the fact that the drum beat kicks in when shadow walks into the scene at 20:50
The biolizard has to be hands down the most disturbing Sonic Boss in history His Image is burned in my brain since I was a kid forever
I know right. That thing is as ugly as fuck.

21:26 The smartest sonic boss enemy ever
Eggman's grandfather is nothing but hate in his system you can't blame the humans for what the army or those people did to you in the past.

Since the ending of Sonic 2 movie confirmed Shadow, I wonder how they're going to incorperate this story into the movie version.
Probably water it down to fit the rest of the shitty kid friendliness that's forced into everything.
it wont feel right if amy doesnt remind him of marias promise
@@sylveonemeraldz I would agree if she wasn't already confirmed to be in the movie.
@@sylveonemeraldz Oh god…
They’re going to have The Donut Lord do it aren’t they? 💀
Not like I hate the Donut Lord, I love him actually, I just would really prefer if it were Amy, like the original
Flying around like super saiyan Sonic and Shadow was the coolest part of the game.
heh, yeah, he was a great character in SA2 but they kinda ruined him after that.
Edgyedgyedgyedgyegyedgyedgyedgy
For a few games he was a good character but I feel like shadows character development was wiped out after his own game
Nah Shadow was great in this,Heroes and 06 but his own game was like oh no
He's great again
The military in Sonic's world (as well as the president) are the real villains of the story here. Their actions repeatedly put not just their own country at risk, but the entire planet as well.
Wow i'm really not the only one being nonstalgic about a game from 10 years ago and still playing it haha
26:46 sonic and his hand
Knuckles had the hardest part
G D Nah, eggman was more difficult
Thats why the game is called Sonic Adventure 2 & Knuckles :D
I stayed in that part for quite a while. Truth be told u arent wrong.
It was actually Sonic's part ngl, Knuckles and Eggman were easy af
@@OILERS084 how was Sonics part hard? It was the easiest out of them all
26:26 Knuckles' dumbfound expression.
The sense of urgency was real in this final chapter. No other game has me as bought in as this one.
*shadow lived as a badass villain, and died as a hero*
Jim Carrey: What the... what's going on? Y the hell doesn't the cannon fire? Agent Sone what's happening here? It's my grandfather Gerald Robotnik.
The blond girl in the overalls still creeps me out
Maria is her name. She was kinda weird looking to me..
@@FierceDeityGageythe kid on Earth? She’s also named Maria?
it just me or does the thing shadow fights remind you of perfect chaos
I'M JUST FINDING OUT THAT THE AIR NECKLACE EXISTS!?!?!!?
one half of me is ANGRY and the other half of me feels like a PRO
I get chills every time in the final story
Me when hears biolizards scream in shadows fight with him: that’s perfect chaos scream
Knuckles: Nice one, you two. Next time, do you think you could cut it a little closer?!
Sonic: What do you mean? We had two whole seconds to spare!
"Why doesn't the cannon fire?" >:(
🎮
Damn when did i comment on this?
Relistening to Professor Gerald's diary again revealed new things to me.
The nostalgia makes me want to CRY. :')
I still have no idea when Gerald even programmmed the ARK to crash land on Earth...
Oh man, I remember playing this on my crappy little t.v that was in my room huddled up with my gamecube. When I finally finished this game and saw how shadow had changed and teamed to save the world my heart sank when he "died" especially with the picture of shadow at the end.
I cried. Was a sobbing heap.
The series needs to go back to having more serious stories.
live and learn is my second favorite sonic song coming after what im made of
I wish it was the whole song playing during the credits
The finale of my Sonic Adventure 2 HD playthrough. I found the final boss to be more fun than I remembered, mostly because of the music. :P
A couple deaths were edited out of the Biolizard fight for watchability.
Shadow died a hero and Sonic lived long enough to see himself become a villain in the eyes of the government. Real poetry
How beautiful it is like completely ignore that Knuckles has Super Form and therefore could be helpful...
So does Blaze the Cat :P
Because Knuckles needs super emeralds.
Which game are you talking about?
+Chris Zammit 3 and Knuckles unless I'm thinking of Tails.
I coulda sworn the Super Emeralds were in 3, though it has been a while. You collected them after getting the normal Chaos Emeralds, right?
Get the Air Necklace upgrade from Aquatic Mine.
Paraxade0 thanks bro i got it. Lmao
Ah, so that's why you didn't need the bubbles
Oh the absolute rage from this level! I thought it was more difficult than the final boss
I thought i could play this level again wituout crying but once i saw 35:42 i balled my eyes out
Dang, haven't played this game in 100 years.

Totally agree. Staying dead is what really made Gamma a special character and it would have made Shadow even better.
