Suneet’s SA: Limited Edition Thoughts

Suneet Shah has returned from a long vacation, but that doesn’t mean Suneet’s lacking in the writing and gaming area; oh no. Here’s the Sonic Zone webmaster with some thoughts on the LE of Sonic Adventure:

Yesterday, my first full day in the US after my vacation, I managed to spend $20 and rent Sonic Adventure for myself. To sum up how I feel right now, I have to use one word: shocked.

Yesterday my best friend came over and we went to get the DC. Now, it was hard, because I was feeling very sluggish yesterday. Last night I had sleep after 2 days. (48 hours).

However, I still managed to play SA the whole day and sleep at around 3 AM. I do feel guilty because when it was my friends turn (we switch by life and level) I often found myself dozing and waking up an hour later.

This game is beautiful. Simply that. After playing it I am in more awe than I ever was. This game is truly amazing.

This is the first Sonic game I think to go beyond the point of detail that all of them have attained. This was truly an adventure. The name does the game justice.

I will comment on everything but graphics, as I really don’t think I’m fit to comment on them. Although I do agree that they are great.

Mainly I think the GamePlay is excellent. Although I am disappointed that the bosses are so easy. Especially the last boss. That was so easy!

The levels were a bit hard. But beating the game the second time was surprisingly easy.

I have a question. The disc says limited edition and only lets you play as Sonic, apparently. Well somehow I managed to cheat it and I was playing as Tails. Then I restarted and once again it wouldn’t let me play as anyone but Tails. What’s going on here?

Ice Cap – I think this level was neat. The snowboarding part is great. Now I realisticly think that a Sonic snowboarding game is called for! I know that for so long the concept of Sonic snowboarding has been in demand. Even playing Sonic 3, when Sonic takes up a snowboard, it is exciting, even though you do practically nothing.

Also, Twinkle Circuit! This is fun. I’m glad to see that they included these “Sub-Games” as I really enjoy them. The things like these add to replay value and I think that it’s the small things with detail like that that really count when it comes to gameplay.

I want to rant on some more but unfortunately I cant. I am just way to sleepy. I don’t think playing SA that late was very practical last night. And I have to start training for cross-country tomorrow, oh man is it going to be tough while I’m in this condition.
