Sonic Adventure 2 is a platform video game that focuses on the adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends as they try to thwart Dr. Eggman’s plans. The game features two parallel single-player campaign stories for players to play through – one is focused on saving the world while the other revolves around conquering it. As such, players will have a unique opportunity to play not only as part of the hero team but also the villains – the future of the world is in your capable hands.

Gameplay

Sonic Adventure 2 gameplay consists of three different parts, giving players a more varied experience. Parts of the game where you control either Sonic or Shadow are much more dynamic and fast-paced to emphasize their abilities related to speed. Stages where you will play as either Tails or Eggman are centered around shooting and defeating enemies and obstacles to advance further. Finally, whenever Knuckles or Rouge enters the stage, you can expect some action-adventure exploration with gliding, climbing, digging, simple puzzles, and collecting items scattered around.

One Game – Two Stories

The game features a story that is shown from two different perspectives and you, as a player, have an option to choose which one to follow. You will be able to either join Sonic and his friends or Dr. Eggman and his helpers – depending on your choice you will be tasked with missions related to saving or conquering the world, but ultimately, you’ll probably want to play through both versions to get the most complete gameplay experience and possibly discover some hidden content.

Raise Your Pet

Raise your very own virtual pet Chao and participate in various minigames. Improve their attributes so they can grow and become even more useful companions. Play with them to enhance their moral points and turn them into a permanent embodiment of Hero or Dark. Raise their affection and watch their growth from the moment they hatch to the moment they’ll have to go – if you’re caring enough, when the parting day will finally come, maybe you’ll be rewarded with a true miracle.

Extra Challenges

If you like challenges, you are in for a treat. There are dozens of tasks to complete for extra achievements, including collecting all of the famous golden rings. Even though you’re not required to fully master the game, extra challenges will give you an incentive to try a little harder and see if you’re good enough to finish everything there is. Your sweat and tears won’t be in vain – the feeling of fulfillment is not the only reward that awaits the most capable players.
