Yup, Sonic Adventure coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade
As if the leaked screenshots hadn't already confirmed it, it does indeed appear that the still-unannounced Xbox LIVE Arcade port of Sega's Sonic Adventure is headed our way. Destructoid reader Damon sent along word that the XBLA version of the title was recently reviewed in the latest issue of the UK magazine, 360 Gamer. According to the review, the game is a "no frills" port of the main game featured in Sonic Adventure DX, the enhanced GameCube update of the original title. The reviewer was mostly unimpressed by the port of the game that originally appeared on the Dreamcast back in 1998, saying it "really hasn't aged well." "It's not all bad," writes reviewer Mark Podd, who gave the game a 5 out of 10, "but if your idea of a decent Sonic game is watching the Blue Spiky One charging across a 2D landscape, you'd be best advised to give this one a miss." The review's details list a "to be confirmed" price and release for the XBLA title, which has yet to be announced by Sega at the time the magazine hit newsstands. [Thanks, Damon!] Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)It's weird that I saw this right before I was going to hit up GameStop to see if they have any copies of SA2 for Gamecube. I've been having nostalgia pangs for that game for the last few days. YES!! I've been looking for a new copy of this since I lost my last one. Can't wait to back to some 3D Ice Cap action. Oh, look... this game again. What's that? It's a port of the much worse Gamecube version, with even more glitches, sloppier frame rate and that horrible plastic look to everything?
Pass. This should come to PSN or else Sega is stupid. Also was anyone impressed by the graphical jump bewtween SA1 and SA2? I was totally amazed how the chaos emeralds didn't go through the characters hands Hey guys, I suddenly hate the Sonic game I wouldn't shut up about whenever a new one came out, can I write for a gaming magazine yet? The term "hasn't aged well" makes no sense. If it was great a few years ago, it's still going to be great now. The term "hasn't aged well" makes no sense. If it was great a few years ago, it's still going to be great now. I don't get the comments about the game not aging well. I still play it quite often and I think its aged pretty well. Sonic Adventure on XBLA; awesome

m3 real carta I can buy a Deamcast and the original at a used game store for less than what they're probably gonna charge on Xbox Live. besides, i already have the GameCube version. That coupled with mega Collection and Gems Collection, and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, I effectively have every GOOD Sonic game ever made. 1:00 AM on 05.02.2013 Dreamcast shooter Sturmwind released, 16 years laterShooters, SHMUPS, STGs.
