This is just a forum I wanted to put up so that people can, in a non-fanboyish manner, justify themselves for liking games that are pretty much universally reviled or liking a game that has been proclaimed as overrated so much that it has essentially become the general consensus (i.e. Final Fantasy VII, Skyrim, GTA IV, etc.)
I guess I should start by explaining why I love Sonic Adventure 2. I first played it only 2 years ago on my friends GameCube and we had a ton of fun just racing through as Sonic and Shadow in the multiplayer. I finally bought it myself when it was released on PSN, and I was surprised by how fun it still was to play.
Firstly, I think Sonic's controls in SA2 are the best of any 3D Sonic game (The more recent games still feel sort of clunky when at slower speeds). The levels have a nice mix of platforming and outright "gotta go fast" moments that it never feels boring. The Master Emerald shard hunting levels with Knuckles And Rouge are also quite enjoyable (although the radar is a bit gimped). I really enjoy the scale of the levels and just how satisfying finally nabbing one of those pieces is. And the Chao Garden. Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, so addictive...
Also, I'd really like to see someone on this thread explain how on earth they could like Sonic 06, considering the obscene amount of YouTube comments I see defending it as "not that bad"...
