Gameplay wise, Sonic Adventure is an utterly amazing and ambitious action/platform that sets new standards in the genre, not to mention video gaming in general. Also, it has only a few flaws, probably caused by a rushed launch. One of the best aspects of the game itself is control, it is quite simply amazing that the Sonic Team has managed to deliver such a high level of controllability at such ridiculous speeds and very precise movements at slower speeds. The level design is ... fantastic and is extremely varied. Levels range from typically fast platform levels and free roaming platform stages filled with startling design and immersive environments to levels with racing elements such as snowboarding, sandboarding, and a bumper car speedway.
