  Hohboy. <br><br>I ultimately prefer Sonic Adventure 2 for the things it did better than Adventure 1. I think it had a lot more stages, I actually prefer the music, and it just had more meaningful content. <br><br>The places I feel Adventure 2 fall a bit short are in weird nitpicks I have with each playstyle. I loved spamming the spindash button in Adventure 1 to rocket around at crazy speeds, but I don&apos;t think Adventure 2 can emulate that effectively. I also make the observation that SA2&apos;s level design is more linear overall, but not by much; nor do I think it&apos;s to its detriment. <br><br>The turning problem with Tails and Eggman really annoys me. I can get over it because I really like the playstyles, and it has more to offer than Gamma&apos;s extremely short levels, the slower movement discourages me from going back to some levels. However, I still think the levels are really fun to play.<br><br>Considering I have never noticed the emerald detector was nerfed UNTIL reviews started pointing it out, should tell you that it has never fucking bothered me and I think is the most overblown nitpick of this game. And I know I&apos;m in the minority with this, but I enjoy Mad Space because of its sheer scale and can get over the wonky gravity. In fact, the only level I never like playing over again is Aquatic Mine because I find the emeralds can sometimes be annoying to find. <br><br>It kind of baffles me that people can call this game garbage by any stretch. At the very fucking least, it&apos;s comparable to Adventure 1, and in my opinion, it&apos;s a lot better. I think you&apos;re one of the few reviewers out there who&apos;s done his best to defend Adventure 2, because it very well needed to be.

  I don&apos;t think it was johnny&apos;s review that caused the negative stigma, but he could have started it, but I ProJared&apos;s review that really started it. Also the game grumps also perpetuate the negatives of SA and SA2

  This review was honestly my favorite thing you have ever produced. So much comedy and so much is going on in every frame. Everything is so dense, including your argument, analysis, and all the things in between. Great job, mang!

  I&apos;ve never seen an SA2 review that focused so little on telling the story before. It&apos;s honestly really refreshing not to hear every single plot hole pointed out and screamed at by people who take the narratives of a talking blue hedgehog way too seriously.

  This deserves endless views, it&apos;s rare you see reviews this unbiased/intelligent. Pretty much 98% of my thoughts on the game expressed in video form. Keep it up

  I like how most people who review this and the first game be all like, &quot;Oh, Sonic fans can&apos;t an opinion,&quot; but they clearly have never seen SomeCallMeJohnny&apos;s review. Never once does he say something is shit and leave it at that, not only does he give a reason, but he doesn&apos;t also over exaggerate the bad parts. I swear you and him are probably the only people I want to watch Sonic reviews from, except for something like Rise of Lyric where it&apos;s so bad it doesn&apos;t matter. And not to mention, a lot of the other guys also shit on Sonic fans, so that&apos;s a plus for watching you two.

  87% is 7/8s. &nbsp;But I prefer SA2 and you make a lot of great points.

  What&apos;s that I&apos;m seeing? A positive review of Sonic Adventure 2? I thought those were extinct since 2012!
