Sonic Adventure is a 3D platformer video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The player can control six characters from the Sonic universe, each with their own gameplay and point of view of the story. The game is divided up into two types of levels: Action Stages and Adventure Fields. The division of Action Stages and Adventure Fields are a serious departure from all previous Sonic games. Adventure Fields are non-linear game stages that contain very few items, generally designed for puzzle solving, exploration and plot advancement. Action Stages are more speed based and have Rings scattered in them. Sonic Adventure was the top-selling Dreamcast game and received a sequel in 2001, marking the 10th anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

There is genuinely so little that I like about what this game does beyond its music and aesthetic. Instead of picking one central idea and sticking with it to the end, Sonic Adventure has so many half-baked (sometimes quarter-baked) it throws at you with little regard to how they fit together or if they actually even work properly. The best thing I can say about Sonic Adventure is that the stuff everybody complains about isn’t as bad as it’s made out to be, but I can’t say any of that stuff is actually good. Like, sure, the hate for the Big the Cat fishing minigame is extremely overblown, but no matter what defense you can conjure up for it I don’t understand how you could walk away from it saying that it was fun. I’ve said before that I can understand how most Sonic game could be someone’s favorite, and that includes Sonic Adventure. There is some genuinely good stuff here (keyword here being ‘some’) and I think video games as a medium would be worse off if this game didn’t exist. But everytime I play it, I don’t see a gem that’s rough around the edges, but an overly ambitious game that I wish was far better than it is.
