One of my favorite pieces being City Escape, Supporting me, Pumpkin Hill, For a True Story, Pyramid Cave, E.G.G.M.A.N and of Course LIVE AND LEARN My opinion the story is that its stupid and campy but its of a lot fun and has a lot of charm. And the boss fights against the ghost king, egg golem, Biolizard, and final-hazard (THIS FINAL BOSS FIGHT IS SO COOL) are great. The gun robot fights are ok but forgettable.

The rival fights are mostly kind of basic and uninteresting, with the exception of Sonic vs Shadow towards the end of the campaigns, this fight is actually pretty fun. I give this gameplay style a 5/10, it passable but slows the games pacing to a crawl.

That said it can still be enjoyable but its not for me. But the real issue is I feel that the treasure hunting just breaks the pace of the game too much especially in the second half of both campaigns when the levels become really big and more complex. The emeralds or keys are always in randomly generated locations which makes these level kind of annoying if your trying to get an A rank. Basically in these levels you explore these big mostly non-linear levels in search of emeralds or keys. Next up is treasure hunting and I don't enjoy it that much. So i would rank the mech shooting stages as a 7/10, it has its issues and a little bit of a learning curve to it but it can still be be fun.

Eggman definitely gets the better levels in particular the level Cosmic Wall being a really fun level due to the low gravity leads to some really platforming sequences. I did find that tails level had cheap enemy placements where you get attacked by an enemy you couldn't possibly see coming on a first playthrough especially in the level Eternal Engine. The mechs are kind of slow and clunky but once you get used to the controls there's not really that many issues. These levels in don't break the pace of game and keep the focus on action and skill oriented gameplay. The mech shooting levels are linear point A to B levels where you blow up every enemy that shows up on screen. Other than that the speed levels are pretty much awesome. The only issue with the speed levels is the fact that most of the moves and abilities you can do in this game such as the spindash, light speed dash, summersalt, and bounce attack are all mapped to the same button which can lead to accidental deaths. The sonic and shadow feel good to control and the controls are pretty responsive. Its the standard sonic gameplay loop of running through mostly linear levels from point A to point B collecting rings which let you take hits. The Speed levels are ton of fun and highly replayable. The game follows a level by level structure and has 3 main gameplay styles: Fast paced Speed levels where you play as Sonic or Shadow, Mech Shooting where you play as Tails or Eggman, and Treasure Hunting where you play as Knuckles or Rouge. Sonic Adventure 2 is the second (proper) 3D sonic game, it came out about little over 20 years ago (at the time of this review) for the Sega Dreamcast And I personally I think its a solid but flawed game.
