I got a powerful first memory of this game. I was over my cousin's house, he had Sonic Adventure 1 playing. At the time, this game blew my mind. I ended up getting an Sega Dreamcast for this game. I later got to play the GameCube port as well as Xbox 360 version. To clarify, this likely won't have the twelve Sonic Game Gear games. Thankfully for us Sonic fans there's Sonic Origins Plus to help with that. Sonic Adventure was such an unique game for it's time. You play as several characters with their own stories. Each one had their own game play style to keep things interesting. A truly fantastic sound track with amazing sound effects. Even the voice acting was surprisingly decent. You get a lot of mini games you can replay. You get to explore the maps to a degree. Some impressive boss fights for the franchise. You get even more from DLC that pulls from the updated GC port. Which added in Mission Mode. This is still one of the greatest Sonic games I ever played!!!
One of the best early 3D sonic games of all time. Amazing soundtrack, levels have enthralled great high-speed action, the story is cheesy and awesome simultaneously, and it is overall a great time. This game needs to be updated with modern hardware so that it doesn't get lost in the sands of time. It needs a complete remake, with modern cinematics, redubbing that matches what the characters are saying, and remaking the levels without any glitches.
The currently-available PC version of the game has bugs with the level collision, analog stick sensitivity, and game lighting... making this incredibly fun classic appear sloppier than it actually is! This game deserves an official glow-up so that fans old and new don't have to use mods to enjoy the original experience!
I actually played this after its sequel, but despite being simpler I was not disappointed.
Like its sequel, its core strength was in having a variety of game modes: one per character, six in total.
It also showed the same story from different viewpoints, in this case six different viewpoints (one per character) as opposed to its sequel's more streamlined two (hero and dark). Though it likewise had its 'true' ending unlocked by completing all the viewpoints.
One of my favourite things about this game is that you get to play as some characters other than the obvious 'posterboy' trio of Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails, which in some cases are more interesting and more fun, both storywise and gameplaywise.
E-102 Gamma remains one of my favourite Sonic characters, and his story remains one of my favourite storylines of any game, being a bittersweet exploration of themes like innocence, morality, selflessness, and self-sacrifice.
I like the simplicity of Big's storyline, which consists entirely of an overgrown, slow-witted purple cat bumbling around in an attempt to rescue his best friend. I'm probably one of the few people who didn't dislike Big's fishing mode, but it helps that there's only a handful of levels, so it doesn't outstay its welcome.
Amy's mode is also quite interesting. Firstly because it consists of trying to evade capture (and storywise actually failing to evade capture at one point), and secondly because Amy's hammer is an unusual thing to be able to use in a Sonic game. Her interactions with E-102 Gamma are definite highlights.
Another thing that makes this game interesting is that it has an overworld that gradually opens up, holds various character powerups, and later has various challenges avaiable. As far as I'm aware, this was the first (3D) Sonic game to do that rather than merely having level-navigating menus or (worse) being just a constant stream of levels.
Sonic Adventure DX is a game I really would love to see be added by GOG after finishing the game Recently I’m now hoping this Classic Gets added onto GOG in the right hands and done properly.
And also with the fact that GOG has added mod support for other PC games I am so confident that they can add in mod support for people like myself to mod the game fully with the Dreamcast conversion mod especially given how amazing the sonic modding community is.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
