How does this game have very positive reviews?

The game is completely terrible. It's designed bad, it plays bad, it controls bad. Practically everything about this game is bad.

The pinball thing was cool though. Just kidding, that was bad too.

because Sonic Adventure DX is awful. Sonic Adventure's pretty good though, and modded SADX plays a lot more like Sonic Adventure.

To bait. Clearly.

Then be prepared for a game from 1998 to play like a game from 1998. Not everyone thinks its bad. Sure it's rough around the edges, but so was Tomb Raider 1-3, Mario 64 and Half Life, and Sonic Adventure is way better tech wise than Mario 64.

Mario64 and half life are actually good though, and still fun to play. sonic plays like a bad game from 98.

You could do a little better with the bait quality honestly.

You are wrong. Mario 64 is good, but the graphics suck compared to games that came later, including Tomb Raider 1, there's barely any voice acting and collectathons get bloody boring sometimes, especially N64 ones. The worst part is that it kicks you out of the level whenever you get a star except 100 coin ones. (until Sunshine which kicks you out even then too) it's irritating and it took until Odyssey for Mario to snap out of that.

I'm sorry, but while I feel the rest of that comment's pretty relevant, that's bait. Clear bait.

No, I was not baiting you idiot. Half Life came out in 1998 like SA1 did. Just because it's a shooter and not a platformer means nothing here. I would have included an actual platformer instead of Half Life but I couldn't think of any other platform games from that year so I went with what I knew.

To be fair you need a pretty high iq to understand "bad games" also sonic is a sh!t series in general so this isn't the exception.

As I said above, if you don't like the series or this game, then why are you even on the Sonic forums to begin with? I don't hang around forums of games I don't like and neither should you. Get out. You are not welcome here and neither is the OP.

Not with your attitude you can't. Good riddance. Now's about time this thread was locked.

While this game has its rough edges and wasn't perfect by any means, it still felt like an epic adventure that was fun to experience at least, with an interesting world, lore and characters, amazing music and mostly solid level design. The camera was a bit wonky, but that's early 3D gaming right there.

This was also the first mainline 3D Sonic game so it's kind of to be expected that it wasn't refined or fully polished, especially with the ambition it had at the time. Where most 3D platformers at the time went for a collect-a-thon design, Sonic Adventure at least tried a "get to the end" kind of experience with more open environments and an actual story.

Oh, and the Dreamcast and GameCube versions are way better than the HD versions - despite looking a bit shinier, they're presented in 4:3 with blue bars on the sides, looks inferior overall and contain far more bugs and an even worse camera than those two versions.
