Did you even watch the two videos I sent you? You could indeed argue that Sonic Adventure looks great for a DC game, but for a 7th gen game it just looks horrible to me. 

I don't need to watch any Videos especially as you're trying to compare it to a 7th gen game... I paid £39.99 for Sonic Adventure on the 23rd of December 1999 along with £199.99 for a Dreamcast and £19.99 for a VMU. I know full well what it looked like back then and how it played. There was a reason it was scoring 9/10s from reviewers. Yes it's aged, but then so have 99% of 3D games from that era.

Sonic Adventure 1 isn't on Meta Critic, but the inferior Sonic Adventure 2 is...

What a travesty of a game that was clearly viewed as... even the technically inferior (the audio is awful!) GCN port didn't fare badly http://www.metacritic.com/game/gamecube/sonic-adventure-2-battle despite introducing further bugs not in the original (seems to be par for the course with anything Sega ports from one system to another).

Sonic Adventure 2 wouldn't score higher than 65 if it released today. Truly an awful clusterfuck of a game. Watch the damn video if you want to know why these games aren't timeless classics like Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64 or Metroid Prime. If that's the best 3D game Sonic has to offer than I feel very bad for him. Even the worst 3D Mario game is much better (imo of course). 

Litteraly half of the game of Sonic Adventure 1 is mediocre at best. Don't get me started on Sonic Adventure 2!

I meant 6th gen of course, not 7th. Games like Metroid Prime look 10 times better graphically than the Sonic Adventure games. Super Mario 3D Land also looks a lot better and that is on a system that's weaker than the GC.

lets hope the series is as good as te older sonic cartoons.

The sad thing is most of the kids who got the game will be disappointed. Sega are really letting people down by releasing such crap with such an iconic character. Christmas tears this year :'(

The Sonic adventure games we're met with many harsh revews back in the day as I recall. I always asummed the more recent love for the games were by the youngsters who grow up with the games.

Or maybe it was just the many uk magazines and gaming tv shows I watched. But I can definitly say that all the negitive points you might raise about the games now were raised when first released. There was a general disapointment that sonic failed to make the trastion to 3d as well as Mario had.

Yeah, it annoys me to see all the Sonic fans praising these two games. They'll just complain if Sega does ever make a Sonic Adventure 3 game anyway. 

in 2014 I'd agree. But they didn't come out in 2014. Do you honestly think Pac Man would be one of the most successful games of all time launching now? Do you think Wolfenstein 3D would be taken seriously now? Doom - No story, shit graphics 2/10.

Dude, games progress. That doesn't take away from what they were in their prime.

That's funny. I would say though to whomever now clamours for new PS4One releases, that I wouldn't expect those potential games to be aaany better (than what this and Lost World was).

For the record though, I'm finding this whole deal with Sonic's continued failures abundantly hilarious. I love a good crisis every now and then .

Pretty much what everyone expected, but do you know what the worst thing about Sonic Boom's debut week in the US is???

Sonic Boom was the BEST SELLING Wii U game in the US that week.

Let that sink in for a moment... more people bought Sonic Boom for the Wii U than MK8, or quality titles like Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta 2, which are both fairly recent releases. It even outsold Lego Batman 3 which came out the same week, and is a WAY better game.
