You'll explore vast, action-packed worlds of danger and intrigue: flee from a killer whale on a sparkling tropical beach, sandboard through mysterious ruins, fly into a perilous tornado - all in a day's work for our blue hero. Sonic Adventure raises the standards of gaming with breathtaking 3D graphics, full 360 degree movement, and a host of minigames to discover. Expect the unexpected. You'll be ready for anything. It's Kinda Like... The original Sonic the Hedgehog series in 3D. The Buzz The Japanese version was pretty good, but the camera was a bit buggy and there were some collision problems. Word is that all this is fixed for the U.S. release and won't disappoint. Features Jaw-dropping 3D graphics with unbelievable detail and speed.
