![]() With the announcement of Sonic Adventure, everyone's favorite hedgehog is officially back on the game scene, and with a completely new game concept too! The whole game will run at 60 frames per second, in a high resolution of 640 x 480. Sonic Team did a great job in keeping Sonic's super speed. They solved the exploring part by letting other slower characters do it. Your choice of character for the game is very important, as not only are some easier to complete levels with than others (the point here being that Sonic Adventure will be accessible to any player, regardless of skill level), but that the path through each area and your character's objectives in it will differ. There will be six playable characters in the game: Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Amy, Big and E-102 the robot. Each character will have six acts to complete, which are related to each other. The characters will be able to interact and make enemies and friends with other minor characters, which will then help you out later in the game. Sonic and friends will also be able to gain information by talking to the people they meet in the levels. Rumors also say that Sonic Adventure will this time take place on Earth, but I sure hope this will stay a rumor. |
The Story
Dr. Robotnik is back once again. This time, he's releasing a deadly
force known simply as Chaos, some kind of living liquid. This
Chaos Beast is responsible for drowning an entire city (see the
promotional video) and wreaking terrible
destruction in its wake.
Robotnik has been feeding the creature with crystals to boost his power,
and now it's time for Sonic to step into the fray to defeat Chaos, his
minions, and of course Dr Robotnik himself.

The New Additions:
Big the Cat:
Big loves fishing and carries a fishing rod whereever he goes. He
is drawn into this adventure when his best friend, Frog, mistakenly
swallows a Chaos Emerald and disappears. Worried that Dr. Robontik
might be a part of this somehow, Big goes off to search for his
friend.
E-102 Gamma:
made by Dr. Robotnik, E-102 is a highly accurate shooting robot. He
is the second of the E-100 series machines and is fiercely obedient
to Dr. Robotnik. He will always follow Dr. Robotnik's orders, and
Sonic is his sworn enemy. Playing through the game as one of
Robotnik's creations sure makes a nice addition.
The Levels
In the end, Sonic Adventure is
supposed to feature over 10 game levels, with at least
2 acts each. Here is a list of the ones that are
already known:
