Nothing feels more like summer than Sonic Adventure.

The visual style of this game still holds up insanely good. Theres a bit of clunkiness, but it's aged better than most sonic games. It's great to play as multiple characters to see the full picture. Each character feels fun to play (except big...) don't hurt me for saying this is way better than mario 64

The music is great, the combat is simple, but fun, and the game feels dreamy for the dreamcast

Both a step up and a step down from SA1. SA2 takes away the adventure field for a more linear experience, alongside two paths with 6 characters. Both paths are unique in terms of story and level design, but the characters play the exact same. I definetly found myself enjoying the dark storyline more, however.

This game exudes 2000's coolness. Both the intro and concluding sequences are nothing short of iconic, and Shadow is still just a cool character. The levels are mostly fun, but can be frustrating at times.

I wonder why they hadn't returned to the adventure formula since then, but I seemed to have blocked Sonic 06 out of my memory. Oh...
