Before I begin I would like to state that I'm not giving Sonic Adventure itself a bad review, I love this game to death and think it's a great game despite it's shortcomings, I'm giving this release in specific of the game a negative review.

You've heard it a million times now, Sonic Adventure DX is a terrible port of a terrible GameCube remake/port of a really excellent Dreamcast game; fortunately for all of us these days it's exceedingly easy to mod the game and make it actually good again thanks to tools like SADX Mod Installer. Most of this review will be assuming you've done this, as it would be an automatic negative without. If you have no …

A lot of fun despite it's age, there's a bit of jank to levels and the voice acting is comically bad but it's so very charming because of this. High recommendations.

My favorite Sonic game. I grew up playing the 2D games and loved them but only got into the 3D games a few years ago and realized I've been missing out on one of my favorite things. The gameplay, music and story are all amazing here. Open Your Heart is one of the best songs ever written for a video game haha. There’s a high skill ceiling for this game and it actually acknowledges some of the more outrageous skips …

89% of the 242 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Sonic Adventure DX. The complaint that keeps coming up: steam port is buggy and a downgrade from Dreamcast. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
As the first fully 3D Sonic platform game, Sonic Adventure was highly anticipated. It received critical acclaim, and Computer and Video Games (CVG) called it one of the greatest video games of all time. Sonic Adventure won a Blockbuster Entertainment Award in the "Favorite Sega Dreamcast Game" category, and was a runner-up for GameSpot's annual "Best Console Platform Game" award, which went to Rayman 2: The Great Escape (1999). It was a finalist for "Outstanding Achievement in Visual Engineering" during the 3rd Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, which went to Unreal Tournament. The visuals and presentation attracted acclaim. Arcade described it as a "quantum leap forward" in aesthetics…

neutral · AI labelView post →Would really like to recommend this game, but I unfortunately can't without mentioning mods. Going into this game on Steam without any mods means you're not only gonna experience all the things that makes the DX version worse than the original in some aspects (mostly visuals), but you will also deal with some lagging performance even on a good PC, and those ugly blue borders on the sides of the screen at all times, as there isn't any widescreen support. Negligible if you're in it for the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sonic Adventure DX gripe. I love this game. I played the Dreamcast version as a kid so many times and recently replaced the PC version. I learned that you can unlock metal sonic after 100% completing the game, but he is just a cosmetic for sonic and thats it. My problem with this is that once the game is 100% complete, do I want to still play just to see a different cosmetic? Maybe if there was some variety to make the levels a bit different or if he was able to be used after getting all the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sonic Adventure is a fun, enjoyable, but definitely flawed game. First off, download the Sonic Adventure Mod Manager, not BetterSADX as it is outdated. Sonic Adventure DX has a few weird problems that don’t exist on the original hardware, the Steam version is a port of a Gamecube port of the original Dreamcast game. In each translation they changed certain things. Many of these changes are considered a downgrade and negatively affect the artistic vision. If you download SAMM, it’ll let you…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is incredible how bad game remasters have always been. A great example is something like Sonic Adventure DX, which is by far the most accessible version, it is so incredibly ugly and broken and I find that so incredibly lame because Sonic Adventure is the one unironically good 3D Sonic.
negative · AI labelView post →Somehow this is the second Sega game I'm aware of that's a "Director's Cut" version where the Director was in fact a different person, after Sonic Adventure DX. Anyway shit, guess I'm gonna have to buy Yakuza 0 because apparently this remake's also kinda bad too

neutral · AI labelView post →Sonic Adventure DX is a nostalgic three-dimensional step in the series. It is quite flawed and consistently janky, but it remains narratively charming with quickly-paced gameplay. There is plenty of variation between action stages, each character plays uniquely, and the story lines and additional dialogue have varied takes. And the Chao Garden is phenomenal in its first iteration! However, the lows in this title are rock bottom. Missions involving precision, the Sky Deck segments, and the…

positive · AI labelView post →One of the first games I ever played. "Rough transition to 3D" my ass, this game is great. May not be perfect but it's got soul and it's fun. I even like the different character playstyles to mix up the pace. Highly recommend modding the game to make it more like the dreamcast version, it feels great.

Always cool to gear his Sonic is seen in other countries and to hear about the history of the franchise from another country outside of EU countries, US, and Japan. 2.

If that's the main appeal for you, you've already played the best one. I haven't read the comics myself, but like others have mentioned, that's probably what you're looking for.

Besides of some technic issues, like camera movement and sometimes broken movement as Sonic it is still decent game. If you still haven't played it, you should definitely give it a try. But first of all download BetterSADX mod, steam version is full garbage, as lot of people have mentioned here before.
