Nothing has made my wife laugh harder than Eggman running around the Chao garden. Worth playing even just for that.
The camera and controls are better than the first game, but I missed the hub world with its explorative charm. The story is propelled at a nice clip, even if it is a tad back-loaded (and as occasionally outright embarrassing as any other Sonic story). The Chao garden rules. None of the characters play as poorly as Amy from the previous game.
I think Sonic Adventure 2 is probably the best 3D Sonic game I’ve played, and is positively filled with stuff to do. It’s an easy recommendation for Sonic fans, and really anyone, especially if you have a high jank tolerance.
Also fyi my rating would probably be higher if the 360 version didn’t have a bunch of technical problems. And idk if it’s exclusive to this version, but I once loaded into a bizarre debug room with minimal textures where I couldn’t die and had to restart the game.
