The same critics who give pokemon a 7.8 because of too much water?


I think you've said all that needs to be said.

Samus, horrible graphics for it's time? Are you sure you didn't play the Broken Gamecube ports?

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...

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.

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.
