From the forum: Issue 189 - Sonic Adventure
Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2018 5:49 am
Hello everyone. It's that time of the month where I usually try to find a new way to introduce this post, but I don't really have time to this month because we've got short deadlines and no Darran. Oh well, that'll do. The question this time:
What do you think of Sonic Adventure?
The Dreamcast is 20 years old today, so we thought we'd talk about its signature game. But Sonic's Dreamcast debut is a tricky one to assess, and divisive to boot. It's ambitious and packed with memorable moments, but suffers from technical rough edges and the occasional feeling that you're not really in control. It reviewed well and was the best-selling Dreamcast game ever, but its reputation today is not great - and while some fans want nothing more than Sonic Adventure 3, others would rather we just stick to 2D games like Sonic Mania. So we're throwing the question to you lot to dive upon, in the hope that you will tenderise it with your opinion-sticks.
