Top 10 Reasons Why Sonic 06 is Better Than Sonic Adventure 2

SA2: Insane teleportation and Shadow is apparently a genie. The military mistakes Shadow for Sonic despite them looking nothing alike.

S06: A proper story that makes sense. Chaos Emeralds are plot points rather than direct objectives, making for a less repetitive story. Sonic, after a decade and a half, finally has a real girlfriend. (And don't give me any of that "bestiality" crap.)

Both are great, but I do find Sonic 06's story more emotional, epic, and breathtaking. It's one of two games that have ever caused me to cry at the ending, which says a lot.

I really enjoy Tails' gameplay in all the games, but Tails' gameplay - not mech gameplay. Why couldn't Tails be like he was in SA1, without the mech? '06 did a much better job with Tails, even improving him compared to SA1. He has dummy ring bombs that are very fun to use, and the level design of his sections is actually built around him and his ability to fly. It isn't just Sonic's levels with additional boosters like it was in SA1.

If I said I prefer him in a mech when playing as him, I'd be lying through my teeth.

You can really tell that the voice actors are having fun in this game because of their voices, even if they stub a line.

He is a saving grace to Sonic Next-Gen, besides the emotional soundtrack. Knuckles and Blaze are some of my favorite Sonic characters as well, but they served no purpose in the story.

Obviously, an Xbox 360 game is gonna look better than a Dreamcast game.

Sonic '06 is better and faster!

In Sonic Adventure 2, for every badnik you destroy, 25 more will summon, and it just goes on like that for the whole game. I love Sonic and Shadow, but this was just maddening.

06 has proper, working gameplay. SA2 is the glitched-up mess, with defective Homing Attacks, Light Dashes, and Somersaults, and that's just for starters.

I loved how heroic he was. I thought his story in '06 was the perfect direction to take his character after Shadow the Hedgehog. I also think his story was the best out of the three. His quote at the end was just awesome.

Sonic '06 is just longer, and it's not like in Sonic Heroes when they made you complete the same game four times. No, it's truly a really big and long game, without any unnecessary stretching but with a lot of story in it, which is very good!

It is awesome with Sonic in the real world, right? I mean, it's not just me - Sonic 06 was actually good, right? It was inspired by Venice, and you've got to admit the hub-world was the best way to progress with the story.

I liked the hub-worlds in SA1 and don't understand why they got rid of them in SA2, so it was good to see '06 bringing them back.
