Let's Get Em! | | Christopher Alexandre from Jersey says (20/Dec/2003): | Another class stunning Sonic game featured for Gamecube, very graphical and very addictive to play. I recongise that some of the levels in this game contain music, sound effects and other kinds of stuff from the past, but what I like about the game is the speed and the way you play! However I do have some thoughts that some of the challenges they setted up in this game are really hard. I mean, how can you complete Emerald Coast in 2 Minutes? Crazy isn't it? In the end, I think it's a wacky game and a great one for speedsters to play, if you have Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and want to know how it all began than this is the game you'll need!
| One of the best Sega games I've ever played! | | A gamer from Charleston USA says (27/Nov/2003): | I love Sega and Nintendo games and Sonic DX was one of the best I've ever played! I love the graphics and the story boards (even though I saw the same scenes over and over again). I like Knuckle's game the best and the fact that he can fly and climb walls. I didn't really like Amy's story. Big was boring, but I finished it. I also love the chao. The camera angles kinda got on my nerves though.
So Sonic DX is really good game. So buy it,
| Comparison, Comparison... | | A gamer from West Chester, Ohio says (17/Nov/2003): | From the Genesis version, I think I'm going to cry. Sonic was a fast pace jummp-on-the-$#< remove me > at !s-head game. Now it's a James Bond with missions. I mean, if you like blue furballs doing missions that's okay. And if you like a blue water dude getting high off of diamonds that's fine to. I playd and beat this on DC, but if I buy it on GC (wich I doubt i will) I wil only for the Game Gear games. So, as far as this game goes I give it a 5.
| Great game.... But still a replica of Sonic Adventure | | Nicholas (Nick) from Burbank, California,USA says (11/Nov/2003): | I feel that this game ROCKS!!!!! I still can't believe that the original Sonic Adventure was this good though. It will take you a LONG time to get all the bonus features, but thats good because you'll have an excuse for playing so much.
I gave this game a 10 because of the great storyline with Sonic,Tails, and Knuckles especially (He's me favorite char in any Sonic game that has him in it), and a good, short, but good
storyline with everyone else. This game has Ausome, bright, &
shiny graphics, which is another reason I gave this game ten.
The sound effects are really original like from the first games (well.... Most of the sound effects are original), like jumping, getting rings, etc. and I like that. I also like the characters' voices, and when Sonic talks, he's got a big mouth (literally),so the sound is another reason I gave this game 10.
This game is fun because there are SO MANY things to do, and
a funny line or two in each char's storyline (except for Big, he's funny the entire way through).
Since this is the replica of Sonic Adventure, it's storyline and char's are based on the old SEGA Genesis games which I personally like the best because those games ROCKED!
I think this game is worth more than $29.99.
You probably have already figured out already that I'm a HUGE Sonic fan.... So I'll know if a Sonic game is good or not.
If you don't have this game, this review is over so go buy it, NOW!!
| sonic adventure is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | | Chaos-X from Glasgow scotland says (7/Nov/2003): | in sonic dx directiors cut i love the whole game its a pitty u cant go super sonic to do stuff like missions and the chaos i have a black chao and its called
Chaos X and looks like a lion soon im gettin heros and a gamecube so ill contact u all later!
| This game was Ok | | Halo says (3/Nov/2003): | This is excactly like the old version, the only difference is the graphics, which are cool. I expected a WHOLE NEW GAME! But it was the same... Atleast they could have changed the levels, or add a new level, or another character, yes I know you can play as metal sonic, BUT YOU HAVE TO GET EVERY SINGLE EMBLEM!!!!!!!! (unless you have action replay, which I have, heh heh heh...)When you get Metal Sonic he is just like Sonic. They have some bugs to fix out with metal sonic... If they put in a character it should have been Tikal! (I mean she is in the game) I wish they put in another character that interacted with the game. But noooooooo...
| could have been better | | tim willers from Northampton, England says (30/Oct/2003): | sonic adventure dx is a great game. the graphics are polished from the last version and look better. the sound is also good, but the adventure field tunes can get very annoying. i think some of the missions on mission mode are just too hard. unfortunately, this game only took me a few days to commplete with everyone including super sonic. but the extra's are still keeping me hooked on the game, and i have had it for about 5 weeks now, and i still have lots to do. it is a very fun game and there are plenty of secrets, so most people will enjoy it for a long time. a bad part about the game is, aswell as some things being too hard, is that it is practically the same as sonic adventure 2 battle only with different characters put in, but the story is well planned. i think you get what you pay for, but some parts of the game are just too hard.

| Sonic DX is a none stop action game. | | sonic x from PHX, Arizona USA says (11/Oct/2003): | SonicDX Directors cut is one of the best games I have ever played. All you people who say I sucks are crazy. Someone said who the little pink ball is, it's Tikal people, Knuckles' sister. U find out out when u get to fight PERFECT-CHOAS as SUPER-SONIC. If you beat it with all the characters. I only need five Emblems to get and they are the Chao ones. If you've never played this game than you should buy it or rent it. Before u play this one though u should play Sonic Adventure2 Battle.The graphics in both of these games are awsome. All the music in the game kicks, espesially the theme song of SA2 battle. The super sonic in that game looks so cool I couldn't stop playing. The best thing about that game is super Shadow. I heard some people say that he is hyper shadow but hyper shadow is gold with silver stripes. On DX there's a thing cald mission mode. That is something that was not on the original one. I just need one mission that I have to beat and it is mission 38. If anyone can help me just E-mail me. To top this, this is the best game I've played in a long time. I despise Sonic haters, but I love tails haters.
| this game is so good | | rottingchao from austin, tx , usa says (30/Sep/2003): | oh this game was so good and I liked it so much I kept on playing it. and I liked all the levels and stuff even if I only had sonic adventure 2 first. even if it's old I laughed at the way Sonic talks with his mouth all open and stuff with sharp teeth. I just wanted to say that this is a great game and you should play it
| sonic heros is coming up yay for all the consules i have a ps2 i am so waiting for it. | | A gamer from canada says (20/Sep/2003): | i am so excited that sonic heros is coming up for ps2.i am getting it at dec 25.i am so excited.thank you thank you sega i was begging for a sonic game in my consule.and my wish came ture thank you again.i am so getting that game. sonic is even better then mario sunshine i am telling you.
| C'mon, its Sonic, man. Its AWESOME! | | Squall (Play 'Final Fantasy VIII') from Austin, Texas, USA says (18/Sep/2003): | I love this game. Its not the best, but I still love this game. But before I get into this, let me acknowledge the person who who said: "Quit complaining and play the game until Sonic Heros comes out". Just let me say, I bow down to you, for you are a TRUE Sonic fan. And to all of you who 'fell in love with sieres after you got Sonic Adventure 2 Battle' don't even know the first thing about Sonic. I bet You didn't even know that he has been around for about 11, 12 years, did you? I bet you've never even played one of the old games, so don't go disn the music. Every single piece of that music was from past Sonic games! Besides, if you rented it and didn't like it, then why did you buy it? I feel sorry for all you non-Sonic fans who hate this awesome game. And for a true Sonic fans that hate this came, you're not a true Sonic fan. DX isn't as original as SA1, but it IS a great game. And be grateful that the graphics are at least 3D! Besides, its MUCH faster than SA2Battle any ways! The best Sonic game if you've never played the sieres before.
| my favorate game | | andrew gilinger from new york ,usa says (1/Sep/2003): | i fell in love with sonic adventure 2 battle so i kept renten it
time and time again then for last christmas my grandma got it for me then months past i hered of this new game known as sonic adventure dx directors cut and i got it for my birth day from my grandma any way i remember doing some reserch on sonic adventure 1 before so i knew it was sonic adventure 1 but just for gamecube
anyway this game is great but big`s storymode could be a bit easyer it`s hard to catch froggy but i can`t wait to get to the
super sonic levels and i know all of ultimate chaos`s move`s so he seens easy but i`ll wait to find out. (ps) sonic adventure dx directors cut rules.
| Pretty hmHMhm... | | PhoeniX from The Netherlands, zaandam says (31/Aug/2003): | I know this is an old version of the dreamcast version, but who cares? it has loads of new/better things! Like the mini-games. +-12 old game gear games that still are fun to play :] . The graphics have increased also a lot and the expirience with a gamecube controller is twice better as the dreamcast 1. Also the sound is better so i dont think this game dissapoints you at all. :) just buy it even you HAVE the dc version
| Most of it is great! | | 10k from Toronto, Canada says (31/Aug/2003): | The Game is great with the enhanced graphics and all. I beat it like 3 weeks ago. SuperSonic mission is great. I never owned dreamcast so i couldn't play SA1 but now with this game i can. I've never owned a Sega system, but i have always been a sonic fan and tried to go over my freinds houses to play it. 3 things that i hate, 1) SuperSonic isn't like the olden days, collect 7 chaos emeralds, jump twice and your supersonic. 2) Amy isn't all that great to play with. 3) WTF is up with Big. SonicTeam must have been high or out of ideas when they thought of Big. Fishing for a frog ruins classic Sonic sytle man. I'm Glad they took him out of SA2! Overall the game was great, Sonic,Tails And Knuckles were amazing to beat the game with. E-102y waz also good tobeat it with. Overall, i give it a 8/10.

| | Sophie from Blackpool says (26/Aug/2003): | I would like to start off by saying that i am discusted with some peoples opinions! the game is great! I bought this game because i loved SA2. I was a bit disapointed at first because there was no Shadow but now i've nearly completed it and i'm used to it! I don't know about anybody else but i do not understand the Chao races at all! It's too confusing so i don't go on any more! I'd like to conclude this by giving it a nine out of ten!
| A pretty good game | | Irmy from Denver says (25/Aug/2003): | When sonic adventure 2 battle came out i got it and became one of my favorite games. I rented this game and a was really disappointed. Compared to SA 2 Battle this game sucked. There was no Shadow and the little movie things were horrible. The game was really, really short and the characters could learn hardly any moves. The graphics were a small improvement. The voices sucked and there mouths moved weird when they talk. All the boses were pathetic and only took three easy hits each. Also, chao became worse too. No chao karate and the races are hard to understand. The final boss was stupid and didnt take any skill to beat. All the ancient sonic games are stupid and there was no point to put them in the game. Having more players was one of the few good parts about the game even though most characters only have maybe 5 short levels. All in all, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle blew this game away.
| Sega, you didn't fix the bugs!!!!!!!!!!!!! | | Julie-Su The Echidna from Echidnaopolis, FI (floating island) says (10/Aug/2003): | Ok.... I got the game, expecting for the camera to be WAY beter than the Dreamcast version, but.... its actually worse. I still like the game, though. Also, at the ending, (with Super Sonic), when Tails comes at you and tells you that Angel Island is falling, watch him really close!!!! I can't believe there is a bug in his walking in the new version than the original!!!! Instead of stopping like normal, he slides across the ground shaking his head! I can't believe it! Sega, you still have tons of bugs to work out!!!!!
| This old Dreamcast game has loads to do | | Victro from Fairborn, OH USA says (4/Aug/2003): | This game features a wide variety of game play. It really is a shame there isn’t a lot of multi-player game play. The story line is pretty good for most parts. I never had a Dreamcast, so I got this game. It came as a shock to me that there were some Game Gear games. (I never had that either.) This makes up for no multi-player. There are many things to do in the main game. It has a mode where you can go around freely. You also go to the action stages instead of being taken there. There is also a Mission mode. You try to solve puzzles in which some are sort of silly. There are also many Sub Games. You can choose from eight characters: Tails, Knuckles, Big the Cat, Amy, Sonic, E- 102 Gamma, Super Sonic, and Metal Sonic.
Sonic has action stages where you run to the end. This is fast, as you would expect from a Sonic game. You can have someone control Tails in some levels. His story line is excellent, and has very detailed environments. The control is great. The camera has improved, but could get better. The only problem is Sonic may go through solid walls sometimes. He has a boss or two that will give you a challenge. All in all, Sonic is an excellent character with 10 levels.
Tails is just like Sonic, except you have to race against him. He can fly to take shortcuts. He has half as many levels as sonic, so his story is shorter. It’s almost the same as Sonic’s, except for some parts. His story is pretty good. The camera is definitely better than Sonic’s, and his control is excellent. Tails, overall is an excellent character with the ability to fly.
Knuckles has treasure hunting stages. There are now 5 colors to tell when you are getting near an emerald instead of three. You can also look for them in any order. A lot of the stages are in the same area as Sonic’s. The story is excellent. The camera can be troublesome at times. The control is good. Knuckles averages as a great character with some strong fists.
E- 102 Gamma has action stages like Sonic, only you have a blaster. He can hover, but not very well. He is also kind of slow. You are timed, which is a downside. If you destroy more than one enemy, you get extra time. The story is good, but confusing. The camera is excellent, as well as the control. E- 102 Gamma is a good character overall with 5 action stages.
Amy rose has action stages like Sonic’s. She has to avoid capture from Zero, reach the end by jumping up on to a balloon, and she is very slow. She has a hammer to whack, and when she has it out while running you can press B to do an acrobatic jump. The control is great, and the camera is good. The story is excellent at the beginning, and okay at the end. She is okay overall, but when you have only three stages and one boss, that can bring down your rating.
Big the Cat has fishing stages. He has to basically fish for Froggy. He can barely destroy an enemy, let alone a boss. He is extremely slow, and has a whole bunch of Level Up items. The story is okay. If you’re looking for exciting action, you’re with the wrong character. The control is poor in fishing, and the camera in fishing is terrible. In the end, Big the Cat is a poor character, with only 4 fishing stages, and one terrible boss.
Super Sonic has only one boss, and that’s it. You can’t roam around freely with him. He’s obviously very fast as in other Sonic games. There really is not a story, unless you count the story before you are Super Sonic. It’s excellent, but they don’t explain what Chaos did. The control is excellent, and so is the camera. With a great boss, Super Sonic is a great character.
Metal Sonic can only be used in trial mode. That means he has no story. All he can do are Sonic’s action stages, and some of his Sub Games. Just refer back to Sonic. Metal Sonic is excellent, but you can only get him once you get all 130 emblems.
There are six Sub Games not including the Boss. They are as follows: Sky Chase Act 1, Sky Chase Act 2, Sand Hill, Ice Cap, Hedgehog Hammer, and Twinkle Circuit.
Sky Chase Acts 1 and 2 are when you’re Tails, and fly the Tornado. The bad part about this is you can't control where it goes. The plane basically follows its own path. All you do is move it around the screen and shoot. It’s still fun to control the plane and shoot the other planes and bombs. Overall, these two Sub Games are good games, but if you could control the Tornado more, it would receive an excellent.
Sand Hill and Ice Cap are boarding games. These two games, in my opinion are extremely excellent games. I just can’t get enough of going down the hill and mountain. Ice Cap has a whole bunch of ramps. The only problem with it is at the beginning you can’t see where you’re going. Sand Hill has great music, has a great stage, and has many objects that pop out of the ground. This is definitely my most favorite stage. Overall, I would rate these games as superb.
Hedgehog Hammer is where you smash puppets with Amy. It is quite fun to do this, but it is mostly luck if you don’t hit Robotnik. There really is not much to say about this, except this is how you get all Amy’s Level Up items. This is a good game to play if you like those smashing games in arcades.
Twinkle Circuit is not very enjoyable because you don’t race. First off this is where you hover around in a car, and go around a track. They could have made multi-player out of this, but they didn’t. This is okay if you like hovering, but if you don’t, this is a poor game.
There are 12 Game Gear games. They are the following: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, Sonic Blast, Tails’ Sky Patrol, Tails’ Adventure, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, Sonic Spinball, Sonic the Hedgehog’s Triple Trouble, Sonic Labyrinth, and Sonic Chaos.
Sonic the Hedgehog has the worst graphics I have ever seen. This is not the one on Sega Genesis. (Check out Sonic Mega Collection.) I think the game play is also worse. You can’t get rings back, and the first boss really isn’t anything. I stopped playing there so I don’t know what to say after that. Based on what I have seen, Sonic the Hedgehog really is a terrible game. (I don’t give terrible ratings that much either.)
Sonic Drift is a racing game. It is one of the only things on Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut that has 2- player. I have not completed this game yet. The stages are pretty
good for Game Gear. You can choose from Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Robotnik. They each have their own strengths. Sonic Drift is a great game.
Sonic Drift 2 is also a racing game. It has excellent multi-player with 7 characters to choose from. They are as follows: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Robotnik, Metal Sonic, and Fang (I thought this was Nack the Weasel at first.). This is one game that I finished. I did not get all the Chaos Emeralds, though. You can also have two players be doing two different things at once. I have done this, but the two screens are unrelated. The stages have an excellent variety. This is one of my most favorite games, along with boarding. As you can see, I am pleased with simple things like this. This is, in my opinion, a superb game.
Sonic Blast is a very strange game. Words can’t really describe what this looks like. The background is very old, but Sonic and Knuckles seem to come out of the screen. They are very slow, and their only attack is jump. They can’t go super fast. In fact all they can do is walk. I finally stopped after the first boss. It was terrible. I never finished this game either. This is an okay game, only because it has, in my opinion, better graphics.
Tails’ Sky Patrol is strictly a flying game. You are Tails, and have to fly to the end of the level. The only bad part is you have a limit on how long you fly. My brother went further on this than me, but never finished it. The graphics were good for Game Gear. There is a ring flying around him that you can attack with, and hook onto things with. The invention of this was excellent. This is a good game with some unique new twists.
Tails’ Adventure is when you’re Tails as a little kid. He can’t do all of the normal things he does in other games. For example, he can’t go very fast, his jump can’t harm enemies, and he attacks with weapons. Your life differs from other games because you have rings that show you your health, and once you get hit they do not bounce away so you can get them again. I haven’t finished this game mainly because I can’t figure out how to find the password in Tails’ workshop, or figure out how to switch weapons. I normally have to hit Restart because I get stuck trying to figure it out. The graphics are good for Game Gear. There are also sometimes Zelda- like puzzles to figure out. They are sometimes so simple you can’t figure out how to do at times. I never look at cheat codes for puzzles, though because when they’re done I’m always looking for more. Anyway, Tails’ Adventure is a great game if you can figure out the controls.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is where Sonic is on a mission to save Tails from Robotnik. I never really liked this game too much, but I can’t remember why. I only tried it out once. I know the graphics were good, but nothing else. (I really don’t feel like playing it to find out.)
Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean is a sort of Dr. Mario game from the old NES, SNES, or N64. (I only had an NES. I just learned about the rest from other people.) The graphics were okay, but the multi-player was bad. This was because the screen was tiny. I never did this on the Game Gear games. I did it on Sonic Mega Collection. The one on the Game Gear was okay.
Sonic Spinball is a pinball game. You basically use the flippers to knock Sonic back and forth. Again, I really only did this on Sonic Mega Collection. I don’t even see how people defeated this game because it was mostly luck that would see you through this game. There is another place to play pinball. Go to Casinopolis with Sonic or Metal Sonic, and do the pinball games there. The pinball there is 3-D. That pinball game is excellent.
Sonic the Hedgehog’s Triple Trouble is a game from the zones in the comic Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble. For a little background, Sonic came here because he actually witnessed the creation of a zone. It is because ½ of a Chaos Emerald hit the land it was created on. The graphics are good for Game Gear. This is one of the few games I actually finished. I did it with Tails. With his ability to fly, he is an excellent character. When you are he, you can be the Sea Fox, Tails’ submarine in Tidal Plant Zone. You can also be it in a boss against Knuckles. He is actually using technology! You can hit him with your bombs,
but if he shoots you, you will be out of it. In the next zone, the Atomic Destroyer Zone, you see Nack. Unfortunately, it is only for a very brief period because he is scared away by Robotnik’s machine. Right before that, you face Metal Sonic. I can’t remember what he does, but you have to get hit before you can hit him. The final boss, Robotnik, has many different forms. On one of the last ones, lasers shoot you, but there is a specific pattern to avoid them. The only part I thought was weird was that all of the earlier bosses weren’t Robotnik. The first time I saw this was in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. I think this is one of the best Sonic games ever, apart from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Sonic CD. (I got Sonic CD on the computer.) Sonic the Hedgehog’s Triple Trouble is a superb game with a lot of variety of things, not often seen in older Sonic games.
Sonic Labyrinth is a game in which Sonic has lost his speed. Some people think this game is terrible. I really don’t think so. The control is terrible, and the control is poor. I’ll hand that to other people, but I don’t think anything else is. The graphics are okay, and the puzzles are great. You can still go fast when you’re in a ball. (I sometimes say that instead of saying Spin Dash.) That is also great. I have not yet finished this game, but I'm working on it. Overall, Sonic Labyrinth is an okay game.
Sonic Chaos is a game that I can’t really remember right now. I know I didn’t really like this game too much. I know the graphics were good for Game Gear, but that’s about it. (Like Sonic the Hedgehog 2, I really don’t feel like finding out right now.)
Mission mode is basically where you go around looking for Missions to solve. Every character has their own missions, but you have to solve them with that character. They’re hard to look for, because with the 6 characters that can do this, it’s hard to remember where you looked. Some are simple, but some are hard. (I have to admit that I myself cheated on a few.) You’ll have to do all the missions if you want all the Game Gear games.
In this game, there are virtual pets called chao. In the late 90’s virtual pets were popular, so it’s no wonder they’re on this game, which first came out in the late 90’s. The chao evolve differently depending on how you treat them, just like with real pets. The chao are the same as in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and if you have a good one in there, along with a Game Boy Advance (GBA) you can trade them to your game. All the games that are compatible with Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut, and have chao that you can trade with are Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic Advance, and Sonic Advance 2. (I don’t know if Sonic Pinball Party does or not.) The only difference with the chao is the way they evolve. I think this is actually a little better. The chao that I made to be strong seemed to take on Sonic’s head. I think this happened because I petted it with Sonic a lot.
| this is just a copy but it's still good | | Chris Melanson from nashua, NH, USA says (28/Jul/2003): | this game is almost the same as the 1st one but with some new levels and better graphics but it's still one of the best sonic games out. Oh i also hear that it has a new ending. the only thing I dont like is that thay call Dr. ROBOTNIK as EGGMAN.
