What was better, Sonic Adventure 1 or Sonic Adventure 2?

[Anonymous No.638193]

Sonic Xtreme

[Anonymous No.638194]

They both weren't very good. But I'd say I like 1 better, because it has the most Sonic levels, and those are the only fun ones to play. 2 has the better Chao garden though.

[Anonymous No.638205]

2, absolutely. 1 is pretty terrible but I'm a big fan of 2.

[Anonymous No.638208]

2. Although I do kind of miss the overworld. Just a little.

[Anonymous No.638228]

>>638174
1's levels are a lot less streamlines, like the original games, but as a result it's pretty much impossible to die (not that either game is difficult). You can just run around enemies rather than fight them because the path's are so fucking huge.

Conversely 2 is far too streamlined, but that allows for more speed and action. 2 had a serious lack of giant robot fights though

[Anonymous No.638232]

>>638208
The benefit of course being menu selection is a hell of a lot more convenient than running across the world to an entrance to a level. But the overworld still had a charm to it.

[Anonymous No.638234]

1, by a big margin.

[Tensnake !S/BuDDdVmc No.638252]

I like 1 more just because of Speed Highway

Plus most people like 2 just for Chao Garden.

[Anonymous No.638258]

I hated 2

Adventure 1 was an attempt to bring Sonic into 3D, but didnt succeed very well. 2 just continued with everything awful, and made it worse

[Anonymous No.638274]

SA1 had:
-The charming overworld
-More variety in level types
-Superior emerald hunting mode (and less of it, fortunately)

SA2 had:
-Convenient level selection
-No terrible fishing minigame
-Overall more refined level design
-Far superior chao garden
-Fun multiplayer (if Battle counts)

All in all, I feel 2 is the better game. But I wish they could have learned emerald hunting was not a strong enough game mode to be almost an entire third of the game.

The retro one


Oh wait...

So... Sonic adventure 1?

[Anonymous No.638289]

2 had a better story, dialogue, graphics, and Chao garden, but 1 didn't have a million fucking Tails/Robotnik levels, so it's better.

[Anonymous No.638294]

>>638289
I'll never understand how people can hate the mech stages.

[Anonymous No.638301]

6th gen isn't retro, the mods already cleared this up.

dreamcast is retro, the mods already cleared this up.

[Anonymous No.638321]

>>638309
Remember when Dreamcast threads were getting deleted left and right? That's why, it varies mod to mod, but most end up deleted.

[Anonymous No.638324]

>>638321
Then leave the mods to their jobs and quit being a little shit.

[Anonymous No.638336]

Sonic Adventure 1 is better I think
It was hard to decide which one I hate more, I have a couple of friends who played the Adventure games first and they think they are the best, I keep trying to get them to play the classics but they never do.

[Anonymous No.638345]

I loved the stories of Sonic 1 and 2. They had pretty serious undertones (without being grimdark) but still accessible for a young audience.

I happen to like 2 more than 1. Fishing was a big turn-off. 2 was more polished as well. However, I can see the appeal of the overworld and I must admit that I was disappointed that I couldn't play as Tails on foot. Some more Shadow levels would've been good too.

So 2 clinches it, but by a hair. 1 is still a great game

[Anonymous No.638350]

>>638336
You realize even if they played the classics, they probably aren't going to suddenly hate Adventures. I happen to enjoy both.

[Anonymous No.638358]

>>638345
Well, technically you can play as tails on foot, but only in the chao garden. His physics were absolutely terrible in SA1 though. They couldn't figure out how to make his flight feel good in 3D.

[Anonymous No.638376]

>>638358
That's why they had to introduce the mid-air zoom-hoops...
I happened to like Tails' gameplay... that's just me.

[Anonymous No.638398]

>>638376
So did I, it just felt weird how he catapults into the air like that.

[Anonymous No.638421]

2 for the kart racing.

[Anonymous No.638878]

I only played 2, and the American "rock" music got on my nerves.

[Anonymous No.638967]

>>638878
Sonic Adventure 2 has the best soundtrack, I know every song by heart.

[Anonymous No.639595]

>>638878
The music is so cheesy, how can you NOT love it?

I love both soundtracks in all honesty though.

[Anonymous No.639608]

>>639595
Because cheesy is generally bad.
I lived through the hair metal era, and that shit was bad enough the first time. Having a sawed-off cock rock band do it for a Sonic game is even worse.

[Anonymous No.639617]

1 felt like a 3D Sonic game.
2 felt like a goddamn mess. How people enjoy it I'll never know.
I bought that shit day one and I swore off Sonic for a decade afterward.

[Anonymous No.639624]

>>638301
Are you gonna tattle?

[Anonymous No.639621]

>>639608
Never heard "it's so bad it's good?" Although there are a dozen tracks that are just plain good.

[Anonymous No.639630]

>>638345
As bad as fishing was it was a very short segment of the game. How you feel the horrid Tails/Eggman or tedious Knuckles/Rogue stages are more polished than SA1's other characters confuses me.

[Anonymous No.639639]

>>639621
Weird Al is so bad its good. Disco Duck is so bad it's good.
Lame ass, sub par garage metal is just plain bad.

[Anonymous No.639653]

>As bad as fishing was it was a very short segment of the game.
But you had to catch the biggest fish for the best rank. And if you're a completionist like me (or just wanted Metal Sonic) then it was like pulling teeth.

And Tails/Eggman stages were very enjoyable. Granted on the emerald hunting though.

[Anonymous No.639652]

GET A LOAD OF THIS

[Anonymous No.639686]

SA1 - Only way to see the end is to play all characters. Sonic has the longest campaign. Once you pick a character, you stay with it.

SA2- Game alternates between the one playable character (Sonic or Shadow) and FOUR FUCKING OTHER CHARACTERS THAT INTERRUPT AN OTHERWISE FUN GAME!
The game is only 1/3 fun!

[Anonymous No.639693]

I can't believe they made a character more annyoing than Tails, but they did.

[Anonymous No.639728]

>>638174

SA 1 had gamma.

SA 2 did not.

Therefore SA 1 is better

[Anonymous No.639747]

SA1 had the superior music, level variety and story.

SA2 had the superior level design, controls and Chao Garden.

This is my opinion. They both have horrible cameras though.

[noko No.639761]

Sonic 2 Final Rush level is badass. So much action free falling and shit. Grinding on rails is fun in that game.

[Anonymous No.639782]

Uhm, I think the game you are referring to where you could play as Metal Sonic isn't retro.

>Alert the gestapo!

Being a nazi does not improve the quality of the board. Keep that in mind.

[Luzcyfer No.639850]

2 by far.

- Had Shadow.
- More and better variant for chars.
- Better Chao garden.
- New minigames. Kart ftw.
- Bigger yet, more action accomplished stages.
- 8/10 OST as always in Sonic.
- Responsive control.
- The bonus stage Green Hill.

The only bad thing is the lack of enemies... but that's a problem of Sonic 3D games in general.
