I'll be keeping it short for this one.

Everybody already knows Sonic Adventure 2 if you haven't been living under a rock. Decades old at this point, practically a classic. If you have any interest in Sonic at all and haven't already played this game, give it a go.

This game has some jank that modern games just don't have any more. You could get a game by with a lot of jank as long as the style is cool, as this game demonstrates. I think Sonic Adventure 1 is better, but 2 is still great and innovated a lot with 3D Sonic gameplay. Expect mech stages to get old, but Sonic/Shadow stages are fun. Knuckles stages are there.

This game innovated on the Chao Garden introduced in Sonic Adventure 1. Diehard fans will tell you that the Chao Garden was one of the main selling points of the game, and I would've argued otherwise but even after so damn long and on a mission to just beat the game 100% ASAP, I still put more hours into the Chao Garden than I expected to. It's stupid, and it's fun. If SEGA ever moved to make a standalone game around these things there would be some money to be had, but they never did.

If you made it to this game after seeing the 3rd Sonic movie, this is the origin of Shadow the Hedgehog. Enjoy his stereotypical edge.

Reconsider planning to go into this game dry. This game is vastly improved with mods using the SAModManager. Consider looking up a video for suggestions on what to implement. At the very least, enable the code to multiply Chao stat gains if you plan to get in, get out of this experience.
