Beat and got all emblems in Sonic Adventure (DX). I feel like I’m just repeating other people when I say this, but Sonic is incredibly fun, Tails and Knuckles are enjoyable, Amy and E-102 are fine, and Big is there too. This game is very fascinating to me and I am not sure why.

The hubs are lame and do little besides force you to look around them to progress. I’d say most stages are fun and mostly well designed (especially when you can do spin dash tricks) and the music is incredible.

If the game was solely Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, and it was all one story and it suddenly switched to another character, I think it would end up great. Those are the highlights and it’s clear they tried to prioritize them but I wish they ONLY had them.

In terms of the DX version, it’s super lame how old it looks. Yeah it’s a 1998 dreamcast title slightly “upgraded” for gamecube, but besides the models they did nothing. I feel like they could have changed so much to modernize it even though it was only a few years later.
