the egg carrier theme alone means anyone who gave this game a 3.0 or under is out of their mind, sorry. im sorry u werent entertained by sonic going "ready?? 🤓🤓🤓" every time he has to charge a light speed attack or big the cat SOLOING chaos 6 in what has to be the shortest boss battle of all time (tvtropes powerscalers say hes capable of class z-2 omniversal annihilation in this one), or gamma just somehow managing to tell an oddly emotional existential story completely lacking in the bombast that strings the rest of the game along. thank you random npc
people dont even hate on this game for the right reasons. having to play sky chase 4 times and fight chaos 4 3 times is way more annoying than any of big's levels lol. you literally play sky chase the same amount of times as big has levels and each one is longer!! and its just kinda braindead!! fuck sky chase it sucked in sonic 2 and it sucks in this!! and i also read someone calling the final boss bad. did you even watch dbz?
its very funny to imagine the universe where sonic adventure came out as an rpg as originally intended. people would be comparing its multicharacter storytelling with live a live and all u fishing in rpgs ppl would have SOYED at being forced to fish for an entire campaign. but alas
look at amy's face. thats all i have to say there, its an aesthetically distraught face. thats like half a star on its own. thats the face of a girl who breaks a tony hawk record tenfold every time she swings her hammer while running
the virgin "koji kondo loads a cart with rompler sounds" mario 64 vs the chad "we got 5 people on guitar and 6 people on bass" sonic adventure. u get this free y2k-ass 3d platformer with talking animals alongside that album you bought, how cool is that. no wonder they stopped making consoles 3 years later with a business model like that. they mustve run out of the sound budget when it came to recording eggman's lines bc they reuse them so hard that its incredibly funny hearing him say "he's not going to get away with this!" like 5 times in the egg viper fight and then the exact same line w/ same cadence in a super sonic story cutscene shortly after
huge fan of giving sonic a very broken spindash and tails the ability to fly and making the levels large and branching (like the classic games) with this in mind. the proto-parkour of the future. shame it never returns for any other sonic game ever!

He played on Amy's theme apparently wow lmao
this made me smile more than any other review on here, props.
The first the bass player listed, Naoto Shibata, is a founding member of the legendary Japanese metal band Anthem, who were featured in shows like Devilman: The Birth and were one of the first bands to release a single to promote a video game with "Xanadu." He also formed the Naoto Shibata Project, which recorded a ton of arranged albums for Konami including the fan-favorite "Perfect Selection: Dracula Battle" Castlevania albums. Further, the original version of Open Your Heart had Eizo Sakamoto, also from Anthem, on vocals. This game fucking rules.
Oh yeah those Castlevania albums are awesome. I should really check Anthem out...
Also on the topic of the music, since that cap included Jun Senoue and Kenichi Tokoi (two of the major composers/arrangers), need to shout out Fumie Kumatani too, she did so many of the best songs here and in Adventure 2 (Rouge/Shadow stages)
