Apparently, the first one is arriving on the Cube.............apparently, its better than the second? Hopefuly some revamped graphics could make a worthwhile purchase?

SA2 stank in my opinion, the Knuckles and Rouge levels where terrible, the Robotnik and Tails levels weren't much better so all you're left with is the odd Sonic and Shadown level. There was no reason to revisit the levels either, cause lets face it the multiplayer was diabolical so what's the need to unlock extra chracters?

I preferred SA by miles. There was loads of different characters and the levels where more intresting. I think the Snowboading section was worth the price of the game alone, it certainly wasn't perfect but it kept my intrest longer than SA2.

SA1 had just as much linearity, just that you had to explore Station Square (which was pretty small) to get to the next stage.

Um, well I'd have to disagree there. SA was, and still is, a good game... but SA2 is better. SA has masses of levels? Well, it had 10, and SA2 had 31... plus SA2 did away with the boring "adventure" parts of the game, which was a more than welcome move on SEGA's part. Dozens of bosses? Well, far less than even one dozen and SA2's bosses came in greater numbers and were far more enjoyable to play against.

And on top of that, SA2 improved upon the original's camera (although not by much to be honest) and the controls were faster and far more responsive.

SA is a brilliant game and if it comes to Gamecube then anyone who never played it on the Dreamcast could do a lot worse than to buy it... but SA2 beats it hands down.

Sonic Adventure 1 is one of the best games in the entire series: Masses of levels, dozens of bosses, fast speedy gameplay- it's a proper Sonic game! Meanwhile SA2 was terrible- lots of slow levels, not very many levels at all, lots of linearity.

I highly recommend SA1- it is a superb game.

SA:2 is Ok, but a bit linear. The music is great though, but the camera has a lot to be desired...

Apparantly SEGA are also packageing the game with the origanal 16-bit sonic titles as well. Don't know about Sonic Adventure though, it looks good, but I've got better things to spend my money on.

My sister is constantly trying to get me to buy SA2 sinse shes a big sonic fan, but I'm telling her to save up £40 of her own money to waste on the game. There's plenty of other titles on the market worth that kind of money, from what I've read SA2 doen't fall into that catagory.

I doubt it, Sega seem have a tradition of ripping everyone off with their crappy ports.

Sonic adventure warra load of rubbish, I can't beleive they have the nerve to port that load of rubbish over. If they're gonna port anything at least make it good e.g Jet Set Radio.

The first SOnci Adventure's coming to CUbe?

*bangs head against wall*

It's better than SA2, but it's still pretty pants. Certainly doesn't compare to Mario games, it's okay but I got it for £5, definetly not worth paying full price for.

I never really got into sonic even though I had played the first one.
