Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (Player's Choice) for GameCube

The original Sonic Adventure shot to raise the average stakes of a given title in the series far, far higher; bigger production values, greater emphasis on story, voice acting, theme songs for each character, interweaving narratives that float through each of the six individual character campaigns, so on and so forth. Sonic Adventure 2 sought to take all those ideas and build upon nearly all of them; though the count of different play-styles was lowered to three and the story split two ways down the moral divide, the story was even grander then that of it's predecessor, the production values were (arguably) higher and the hype even higher then that, and each character's levels were scored with differing musical styles and all character themes now had vocals. This updated version of the game makes it even greater still, by expanding on both the multiplayer mode and the Chao garden (to frankly ludicrous degrees in the case of the latter), and filled out the levels with a greater amount of scenery and detail for a richer visual presentation.
