Was Sonic adventure based on the Sonic X series? Or is it the other way around?

Btw: Zookstar1000, who is your favourite Sonic character? Mine's Knuckles! : )

[Zookstar1000]

@MrNukedDuck Sonic X was originally based on the Sonic Adventure cause it first aired in 2003. And my favourite would be a tie between Tails, Knuckles or Blaze.

Sonic Adventure DX is great, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is AWESOME, Sonic Heroes had it's moments and was decent at best, and I don't even need to say how much I love Shadow the Hedgehog.

BTW Mark you ever played the Sonic Riders games?

[Zookstar1000]

@Shadsilvson11 I've only played the first one. Didn't enjoy it much but the levels were pretty sweet. I have yet to try out the second, and I don't have an Xbox 360 or Kinect so I can't try out the third one.

[Shadsilvson11]

@Zookstar1000 Well to me the first Sonic Riders was really bad with frustrating mechanics and cheating AI. The second game was an improvement with better gravity mechanics, but still wasn't too addicting. Never played Free Riders (don't think I ever will either).

Also I know you said next part was the last one but did you have any plans on discussing the handheld Sonic games?

[Zookstar1000]

@Shadsilvson11 not really. The only handheld Sonic game I ever played was Sonic Rivals 2. The next part will start from Sonic Next Gen to Sonic Colors.

[SuperSonicBoom117]

@Zookstar1000 Do you reckon they will release sonic adventure 2 for PSN and XBOX LIVE ARCADE

great video dude. and as for game reviewers' perceptions of shadow the hedgehog, ill just say that people are overally critical nowadays. i personally think the game is great, which; using IGN's rating system, would equal an 8.0-8.6.

my only problem with it is that its pretty flawed in certain aspects.

[mswatchvideos101]

i like sonic adventure 1 over sonic adventure 2 mainly because of all the gameplay styles in adventure 2 felt like a downgrade speed stages were linear and slow shooting stages were slower and clunkier and treasure hunting was frustrating i also like sonic adventure 1 more because you weren't forced to play as the other characters to get to the sonic gameplay

[ChiefShadow1750]

Man this is good. I can't say much about Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. But I don't need to say anymore on how much I HATE Sonic Heroes, and Love Shadow the Hedgehog. Nice job!

@Zookstar1000 are you going to get a new mic? sorry but it's sometimes hard to understand

[WhiteBladeZero]

I never found Big's gameplay boring at all.
