Ah, Sonic the hedgehog, The day He debuted on the Sega genesis In 1991, It seems like that Sega AND Nintendo were actually going at each other for their two systems! Nintendo super Nintendo had alot to It, 16-bit sound, High graphics, and tons of cool and exciting games! Meanwhile the Sega genesis was Doing It's own thing and was a system with 32-bit sound, Even higher graphics, and tons of even more exciting games! Now around 1997 was when Sony, Nintendo, AND Sega were making 3D video game systems which were even more powerful then said systems above! The PlayStation had Crash bandicoot as their coach, The Nintendo 64 had Our favorite plumber Super Mario as Their mascot, And then Sega made their own system called the Sega dreamcast with their own Definitive Sonic game, We didn't really know what to expect from this epic and exciting title! But did It turn Out good? Let's find out! This Is Sonic adventure for the Nintendo gamecube! (NOTE: This Is actually a dreamcast game ported to the gamecube! But Let's get started shall we?)

Story-8/10
Millions of years ago, There lived these peaceful creatures called chao, And the master emerald safely remained in the hands of knuckle's tribe aptly named the echidna tribe. A female echidna By the name of Tidal is good friends with the chao and Is the savior of the chao and their father, Chaos. Pachamac wants to open up chao's territory farther, So he plans on kidnapping the emeralds to defeat his enemies. Tikal tells him to stop It, but he then continues. This Infuriates chaos, Who then turns into a huge beast and destroys everyone. Tikal then goes In the emerald with the chaos. Back In Sonic's world, Robotnik learns about the beast, He thinks this Is all true, So he breaks out the emerald, thus releasing chaos! Robotnik wants to control him and use him to collect the emeralds and transform the world Into robotnik land! (Haha, Very very funny! You did That In unleashed too!) So anyways, Sonic and friends discover his plan, And then all set out to stop him! This Is your toughest job yet sonic, Are you really really positively sure about this one Sonic?

Gameplay-8/10
Aside from all of that, Sonic adventure DX Is a 3D action adventure platformer game where you control sonic and his friends though big acton packed levels, Collecting rings, defeating enemies, and running really fast! Controls are pretty simple, You use the control stick to move, A button to jump, B to attack, And the X button to pick Up stuff. There are 6 different characters to play as, Sonic, tails, knuckles, Amy, and two new additions, Big the cat and E-101 gamma.Each level ALSO has It's own gameplay method! Sonic's levels are based on running fast and such, Tail's levels are based on running fast and beating sonic to the end, Knuckle's levels are about finding emerald shard, Amy's levels are about running from a huge robot named zero, E-101? Is about shooting robots and such, And Lastly, Big the cat's levels are about slow paced fishing! The game's story mode consists of you running through a big HUB world?doing all sorts of tasks and such, And getting to the next level after the last. Sonic will be collecting tons of items and goodies In this quest, Such as rings, extra lives, Shields, etc. Every once In a while, You will have to fight some crazy bosses,such as Robotnik, The evil beast chaos, and so on! Each level lastly has It's very own charm, Sonic's stages are fast and furious like always, Tail's levels are kind of like Sonic's, Knuckles levels offer tons of exploration, and well yeah! Sonic and friends are armed with tons of moves, Like sonic can spin dash, Tails can fly, Knuckles can glide and dig, Amy can whack people with Her hammer And E-101 gamma can use his blaster laser to shoot enemies! There are also pretty of mini-games to go around too, Such as plane shooting, Car racing, And snow boarding! Lastly, There is Chao garden where you can care and raise your own chao! Anyways, That Is It for the gameplay!

Graphics-9/10
This game was released in 2003, a bunch of other games like Ratchet and clank going commando and Jak 2 were bursting out later that year, and for what It Is worth, This game Is dazzling from start to finish! The game has that distinct sonic charm that all games after still maintain. Each level world and locale after the last Is BURSTING with color, atmosphere, Depth, brightness, and tons of other stuff! Each level Is crazier then the last, Some levels has you running through the beach, While another has you In a casino playing pinball themed games for Rings, and like always, There Is Dr robotnik's base where you finally put the doctor Himself to rest! And Just beating that level Itself feels SO rewarding! Now for the characters, They are looking pretty cool as well! We have a bigger cast then usual this time around, We have Sonic the hedgehog, Tails Mile Prower, Knuckles the echidna, Amy Rose, E-101 gamma, And Big the cat, All fighting against eggman In Order to stop His evil plot! And well, Yeah! The HUD In this game Is pretty self explanatory, It displays your current score for the level, How many rings you have collected, And your current amount of lives left! You lose all of your lives, and you are sent To the continue screen! Lastly, Cutscenes are good In my opinion, But have been bashed by many sonic fans for the terrible lip syncing and character movement and voices, Anyways, That Is It for the graphics!

Sound-8/10
As always, Sega Is finding at least some way to spice up the actual soundtrack for each game after the last, And this game Is no exception! The game's soundtrack Is without a doubt some of the catchiest sonic music I have heard In a while! Upon booting up the game, We are greeted to a sweet and epic intro scene with one of my personal sonic songs, Open your heart, Oh my god, This song Is really catchy and just helps you prepare for the overall game Itself! With the epic guitar riffs and lyrics, You just can't go wrong with this song! But to the actual game levels! It Is pretty good! From the emerald coast to the evil lair Of Robotnik, Each song for the levels really fits the overall mood of the place where you are exploring! The amusement park has some really enchanting and magical sounding music that helps you remember this Is an amusement park, The cold and quiet mountains and caverns of Ice cap help you concentrate on getting to the top of the mountain, and so on! Now for the sound effects, They are your typical stuff and whatnot, We have our rings, our loss of rings, our jumps, our box breaks, and well, You know! Lastly, the voice acting, This was back when Sonic was voiced by Ryan drummond and not some cheesy Rodger Craig smith dude! And His other friends have very likable voices as well! Tails Is really entergitic, Knuckles Is tough and rowdy, Amy Is high pitched and SOMEWHAT annoying, E-101 Gamma Is well, A robot! And Big the cat Is your typical big dumb guy who mostly half of the time does not know what He Is doing, and well, I really Love the voice acting! Some may hate It, But Ryan drummond, Please come back! Anyways, That Is It for the sound!

Addictiveness-9/10
The game Is just loads of fun and Never gets boring no matter when I play It or how! What I actually mean Is that the game Really stays true to Sonic's standard and oncoming roots, You know what I'm talking about! ?The loopty loops, The amazingly quick gameplay, The big long fun and yet challenging levels, All of that Stuff Is right here In this game! And I am proud to say the game offers alot of fun In that way, You know, So the game doesn't feel like some sort of rehash of sorts! I am still having alot of fun collecting all the emblems and beating all my times and records on the stages and mini-games!

Depth-10/10
I have always seen this game as one of the bigger longer and just extraordinary sonic games! Well, this game Is no exception! There Is tons of stuff to do and see In this adventure, And I will go over It as followed! Well guys, This game has over six different stories to play! Each taking about 1-2 hours to beat, and after all of that, You get the epic final story to truly finish off the game In A truly epic way! Second, This remake for gamecube has tons of unlockable sonic game gear games to play as well! And getting them takes alot of time, Yet feels so rewarding after! And lastly, There Is the chao garden where you can raise your own chao and help feed him, nourish him, care for him, And do just about everything else! So, That Is It for the depth! Oh yeah, and there are those other mini-games I mentioned earlier In the gameplay section, Those are pretty sweet too! And last but not least, There are over 120 emblems to collect In this whole game! So be prepared!

Difficulty-7/10
I have never really seen Sonic adventure or any other sonic game As pain inducing, Challenging, or just painful In my opinion! As sonic games are actually supposed to provide plenty of challenge for the player to fully enjoy It! And this Is no exception, Some missions In this game are actually pretty difficult! Such as Big's slow paced fishing mini games, Or some of those emblem challenges where you win an emblem by completing a level as fast as possible! This ALL makes up for some pretty nifty challenge, But If you are good enough at video games to beat these levels, Then you know you can beat this game without screaming in pain!

Overall-9.2/10
Wow, I am amazed! Sega really knows what the kids like! And this game Is really no exception! Believe me when I say It, But This game Is quite possibly one of THE best sonic games I have EVER played In my life! Who ever knew that Sega could bring their blue hedgehog Into the 3D universe so perfectly! And they nailed It on the head without any flaws! But anyways, I gave this game a 9.2 because It Is fun, challenging, long, and It stays true to Sonic the hedgehog's roots In every way possible! So anyways, This has been RedHotToddy's 126th review on vizzed board, and well, See you guys later in my 127th review! Oh my god! I have 126th reviews on vizzed board, and I am trusted too! But anyways, Bye guys, and see you guys later In my 127th review! I know It will be fun!
