The Chao Garden is where it's at.
Please bring it back, Sega.
Fuck yes. I bought the Steam version just so I can raise Chaos!
I'd pay good money for a Chao breeding game...

This is sadly the only sonic game where we can play as Dr Eggman :/
I would have bought a standalone chao game. So good.So many hours in the Chao garden. Great game and awesome soundtrack. People really should go back and play this though. It's aged pretty badly; especially the cut scenes.
Only reason I played.The Chao Garden was okay.
Best levels:
Security Hall (good level to weed out bad players)
Metal Harbor
Pumpkin Hill (the great Emerald's power allows me to feel!)
Sky Rail
Pyramid Cave
Meteor Herd
and the best of them all Crazy Gadget that had the weird gravity mechanics.
I don't get how anyone can prefer Sonic ADventure 1. Even the Sonic levels in 1 were pretty messy. The bad stuff in 2 is much worse in 1.
I kind of like the Knuckles and Tails levels, though, they do get in the way of the Sonic stuff. And a couple of the individual levels are just bad on their own.
Sonic 3 And Knuckes>>>>> All 2D Mario games.
Come at me.
Best levels:
Security Hall (good level to weed out bad players)
SA2's aged poorly in general. The only levels that still hold up are Sonic and Shadow's.
Fuck this level so much. Eggman gave her FIFTEEN minutes not five. First time I played SA2 I couldn't beat it because of that dumb shit.
I remember A-ranking that one the first time I played it. What makes it weed out bad players? The time limit?

I'm glad you covered this because upon entering this thread I was trying to narrow down exactly what made Gamma's take on things so much better, it also helps that Gamma feels more manoeuvrable as a character and the emphasis on time led to shorter and stronger stages as opposed to the slogs of SA2, Cosmic Wall is probably one of the better ones yet it just never ends.I hate that the devs seemingly went out of their way to make the shooting and hunting stages five times worse than their SA1 counterparts. The time attack system and the bonus time mechanic is what made the Gamma stages in SA1 fun. Now they're just boring levels, and outside of a few of Eggman's levels, none of them are even remotely fun.
Pros:
Good music.

Everyone always talks about how awful it is to play as Sonic's friends.
I don't think it's "playing as Sonic's friends" that's the problem. I think it's that they come up with new shitty mechanics for their levels that makes them suck.
Because in Sonic 2 and 3+K, I loved playing as Sonic's friends...because they played just like Sonic, with a couple fun modifications.
It's not the friends, it's the levels and mechanics.
I still remember watching Game Grumps playing Sonic 06, and it came to the point where they had to play as Blaze, and they were like "holy shit, she's actually fun to play as!"
