[@lucentshadow]

Well damn, this guy made it look like this was a boost game.

[@George-zk4nv]

Sonic games are supposed to be like that.

[@venosho2167]

I like how when you do the trick at 1:47 the music stops and the moment you land and start to move again the adrenaline filled music kicks in again, super hype

[@SJK9000]

You know what? That was pretty cool.

[@BiriBiri925]

1:44- 1:49 This is something that cannot be repeated in any "modern" game with a boost gameplay. This is pure skill, no scripts. The main difference between Adventure games and all the others is that if you want move fast, you have to learn how to control this game. Not hold down one button. You must deserve speed. This is practically a DMC from the world of platformers. The game give you tools, your task is to figure out what to do with them.

[@michaelotis223]

This. All of this.

[@isabellejoestar2455]

This is the kind of thing that puts SA2 above any other Sonic games for me. Everything feels mroe organic, more rewarding, more immersive. Work up and keep up your momentum and you'll feel the speed while going through the stage, play poorly and you'll feel as if you're going through a Mario 3D game stage. It actually feels GOOD to be playing well, modern Sonic games reward you from little to nothing since the boost button is literally a "automatically play the stage" button, even if you lose all your momentum you go back to top speed with a single button press. Same with the homing attack, you would actually need to aim it in this game, but also use it for building up speed or gain a little burst of movement. Modern homing attack just feels bland, it feels so still and... fake. Modern sonic stages feel like they could play themselves as you only need to press A in the homing attack sections since it targets on it's own, and the boost literally carries you through the level. Played through the entirety of Sonic Forces and no level made me feel like City Escape makes me feel. It didn't matter if I did well or poorly, it felt like just boosting completed the level.

[@reservoir4798]

@@isabellejoestar2455 I feel like forces is a bad example of a boost game but I do agree with how these games feel more rewarding. Doesn't mean boost games don't give their own sense of satisfaction tho

[@tomdrawsstuffs6092]

I'll never forget being so hyped for this game and then finally getting it for my 7th birthday.

It's still one of my favorites from childhood and one of the games I've played the most. Nowadays, anytime I'm looking forward to a game coming out, so much so that I'm pumped for any advertisement I see of it, I connect it back to SA2's release and call it "that SA2 hype."

Did You Know This Detail In Sonic Adventure 2: In Sonic And Tails’s Stages (Metal Harbor, Mission Street), And Shadow And Eggman’s Stages (Radical Highway, Weapons Bed). In some sections of those stages there a few or even a lot of moment where FIGHTER JETS are flying in the background or even nearly right to you, some people say that "They cannot be destroyed." but in reality you can. For exemple in the stage of the video (Radical Highway) 1:22 in this section when fighter jets arrives they will be one where it’s passing by one of those G.U.N Bots if you’ve got a good timing and concentration you can destroyed it. Just like what Sonic GJB did. These type of things that means destroying Fighter Jets aren’t that important for the 100% of those stages that I mention in the beginning but if you are a score attack master or even trying to get the perfect score of these stages destroying those jets will be useful for you, cause they can bring a lot of points especialy when you have a combo.
