There are several over-the-top moments that bring a measure of enjoyment to the game.
It brings the same sense of speed as it did 11 years ago. Now Sonic Adventure 2 joins its older brother on the Xbox 360. But while it was an improvement it still had minor flaws. Gone was the overworld and much of the complicated plot. Sonic Adventure 2 was released a few years later and seemed to, at least initially, address player concerns. While the 3D platforming was almost enjoyable everything else weighed down the game.
When it was re-released in 2010 via Xbox Live Arcade it was met with much of the same.
The original release was lauded by fans of the franchise, but the overworld aspects were confusing, as was its what-the-heck-is-going-on plot. Sonic Adventure was a bit of a mixed bag. Copies were provided for review purposes. They were released on Octofor 800 MSP and 240 MSP, respectively. Sonic Adventure 2 and the Battle Mode downloadable content were developed and published by Sega.
