"GET A LOAD OF THIS! GET A LOAD OF THIS! GET A LOAD OF THIS!" - Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, 1998.

Rough transition into 3D my ass. For the blue blur's first step into the Dreamcast era, it was done spectacularly well. And while it isn't perfect nor has it aged well in some aspects, it damn well had some fucking heart! There is so much lore expansion from the genesis games that it is incredible! The adventure formula as some call it has a lot of potential to be explored further if they choose to do so. And the game has a lot of banger tracks to listen to. While it is far from the magnum opus that most people claim it as, nor is it some rushed mess, but it absolutely moved the series forward in so many ways. I still sometimes tear up from the ending of Gamma's storyline.

Note: To those on the Steam port wanting a more customizable experience, I highly recommend using the SADX Mod Installer. It will let you customize the game, even letting you change things back to the original Dreamcast version if it fits your fancy.
