The Blue Blur is Coming
As one can probably guess from the title, Sonic Adventure is a bit different from other games in the series. Rather than a pure bred platformer, the game features a variety of gameplay styles. Formerly entitled Sonic RPG, the game is all about high adventure and should provide a unique experience for Sonic fans. The characters will actually speak (I pray to God that Sega of America won’t use Urkel’s voice in the American version) and interact with humans, adding to the immersion of the game. I hope that Sonic Team won’t be rushed (as they have for every other game they’ve ever created) as the potential for greatness here is at an all-time high. If given time to properly button everything up, Yuji Naka could finally have one of his visions realized and Sega fans something to remember for years to come. Regardless, the game will certainly be available the day Dreamcast launches here, so set aside a couple of weeks in 1999 to have the time of your life. Sonic has returned and Dr. Robotnik, Nintendo, and Sony are shaking in their boots. By Steve Thomason (GameNET)
