Yes people, I have extensively played Sonic Adventure 2 having received the game yesterday morning. I can safely assume this was an EXCLUSIVE gaming test and it reached me early due to my overall love for Sonic games. Yes, Happy Birthday dude.
Anyway, onto the game. Firstly, I'd like to say it looks FANTASTIC! Miles better than the demo, now running at a solid 60 fps on all levels. The textures are super-high-resolution and the animation is fantastic. The characters move around more realistically in the cut scenes with their arms moving around and stuff.
The script is actually very good with some gags in there and a fairly nice, action packed storyline. I don't want to give it away but the journey up to the ARK colony is especially comical.
The action levels are bloody fast too, much faster than those in the original and consequently, much harder. The game as a whole is generally more difficult than the original but when it plays and looks this good then there's no problem! Levels to look out for are Shadow's Radical Highway, Knuckle's Meteor Herd and Sonic's Metal Harbor.
Overall, Sonic is a visually astounding, fantastically sounding and brilliantly playable platform romp. Buy it now and play that on Saturday night instead of going to the weekly shindig!

Oh yeah and in my opinion, I think that Sonic Adventure 2 is the best looking game ever released on any format. I have been impressed in the past but bloody hell, this is unbelievable. Especially the Green Forest level which features trees and leaves everywhere. All at a super smooth 60 fps. This will be hard to beat.
It does look amazing - Im going to try and pick up a copy next week!! Is it that much better than the original, cause I thought that was pretty awesome!!
