Advantages of Pc Version vs Gamecube?

[IAmGreg85]

I'm thinking about buying this next time it goes on sale, but I played a ton of sonic adventure 2 battle on gamecube back in the day and even picked it back up recently about a year ago. This is one of my favorite sonic games but I was wondering, is there anything truly special about the pc version versus the gamecube version?

you can play it on a PC which is in my opinion an advantage
and there are also some smal improvements like widescreen

Not much, really. You have to buy the "battle" portion separately (which is required to get all the emblems, and also plays the GC intro/menus instead of the DC version's), and there's no Chao Adventure/Advance or anything like that. But the game looks really good at 1080p.

The above also applies to the PS360 versions of the game, but hey, with PC, there's always the potential for modding - I replaced the version of "Masters of the Desert" that plays VS King Boom Boo with the one that plays VS Egg Golem.

You could use sweetfx to make the game look slightly better

[Kimplix]

You can use mods, chao editor, chao key (allows you to play any character in any single player/2P stage as i recall), etc

No advantages other than higher resolution and widescreen.

In fact, there are some disadvantages actually.
One being the Battle DLC but also a few different levels have broken lighting and look really off compared to the original DC or GC versions. Other than that no changes really.



Though if you haven't already, don't even consider buying the PC version of SA: DX.
It's an absolutely butchered pile of ♥♥♥♥ and while you can make it through that one just fine, nearly all of the levels have broken lighting along with missing textures and objects in the environment. Plus you have to use some external programs and patches for proper widescreen and controller support. Frankly, it needs to be pulled from Steam until Sega actually bothers to have it fixed by the team responsible.
