ENHANCING SONIC’S ADVENTURE

The later releases of Sega’s Dreamcast game

SONIC ADVENTURE DX

After bowing out of making consoles, Sega revealed it would start putting its games on other systems and Sonic Adventure was an obvious choice. In addition to featuring better detailed character models, Sonic Adventure DX also has a redesigned Chao-raising game as well as connectivity with the Game Boy Advance and a number of new missions to take part in. It also aims for 60 frames per second, but doesn’t always hit it consistently.

SONIC ADVENTURE HD

You can’t keep a good hedgehog down and Sonic Adventure was released again, this time for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2010, with a PC version following in 2011. Unfortunately it’s something of a lazy port and appears to have had little effort put into updating it for HD consoles. Even more cheekily, the numerous extras that featured in the earlier DX version have been stripped out so they could be sold as DLC.
