A few resons why SA2B is better than SADX

Post by ShadMaria4ever »

I just thought I'd do this for fun. You can give your opinion and such, but refrain from criticizing and flaming.

What SA2B has that SADX doesn't have:
1. Good character control. I almost always end up hitting my chao instead of picking it up in SADX. Also, good control makes it easier to fight enemies (like with a homing attack) in SA2B.
2. Good characters/character stages. Both Big and Amy's stages in SADX suck! It's just plain stupid to always be a chased by a robot or go fishing.
3. Easy way to change chao alignment. You have to freaking pay for fruit to make your chao SADX into a dark or hero chao.
4. More understandable chao races. On SADX chao races, I always end up asking "Why am I looking at a chao that's not mine?" It confuses me.

This isn't really what I call a rant. A rant is more where you tell something that annoys you alot and go you kinda ***** about it. This is only a few thing why you think SA2B is better than SADX.

Positive for SADX:
Better chao garden control
Very quick way of moving, just keep pressing B XD
The lion and mole animals
Level to get 500/600 rings
Gamma =D
Computer version avaible

Positive for SA2B:
Chao doctor
More races
Chao karate
More items
Shadow
Awesoem animals like cheetahs, tiger and te legendaries
No eelphant -_-
Chao class
Very nice gardens
Animal parts are removable

SA2B is way better, except the controls, and the lion.

This isn't a rant, it's 3 things SA2B has that SADX doesn't. Personally they were both great and the only thing i hated about SA2B was no adventure field meaning no eggs. They're fun to find and isn't like you get enough emblems to get them. They're more rare since there's only one unless you breed them.

Does it really matter? And it's kinda of rant-ish for my #2. But I changed the title anyway. Happy now?

But there's only three and they're so easy to get. If SADX had had more chao eggs you could look for it would've been cooler.

I agree 100%. All of the reasons that you put are the same reasons why I think SA2B is better!

Your forgetting Chao are not the main feature in SADX or SA2:B

SADX Pros:
Adventure Fields
6 (not including Super Sonic) stories to play from a character's POV.
Genre variety
Minigames
PC version

SADX Cons:
Fishing, It shouldn't be in an action-type game, even if it is combining Genres.
Unable to restart stories without creating a new game file.
No variety in the bosses, it's always Eggman or Chaos. (Not including ZERO, E-101 BETA or Character Battles)

SA2:B Pros:
2 Player Mode
Able to restart stories
Improvised Chao System
Boss Variety

SA2:B Cons:
No Adventure Field
New Characters
Stories are mixed characters instead of following one character.
No Original Minigames, just Time Attack and Kart Racing with Sonic Characters.

If it was about Chao it would've been called Chao Adventure 2: Karate and Chao Adventure: Director's Food or something.

Why is it a con for SA2:B that there are new characters?
Shadow is really a cool character with an exciting story and Rouge-is ok but I think I would have liked Tikal´s return more.
What is more worrying me is that Tikal and Chaos aren´t in SA2:B, but that´s ok after all, because nevertheless it´s still a very good game-and the better one of the 2, in my opinion.
And I found it very cool to play as Eggman for a time or even the final stage(forgot the name :chaoangry: ) where you play as all of the characters in a row except for Shadow.
And I like my Chaos without animal parts, which is why I prefer the gardens/whole Chao thing from SA2:B.
But it´s also true that SADX has bigger and, in case of MR and EC garden, nicer gardens than SA2:B.
the servers are the seven chaos. chaos is power. power is enriched by the heart. the controller is the one that unifies the chaos.

I was wondering the same thing. Shadow is my favorite character! Why is that a con? And Rouge is fine, too. New characters are a pro in my opinion. :no:

i agree with you, i cant stand the chao races on SADX,i also cant stand big(or his theme song),i also hit my chao insteadd of picking them up..........SA2B is better then SADX(i own SA2B and SADX), but the last boss on SADX is relly cool tho

The Chao races in SADX are horrible. Why must you have to look at a Chao that isn't yours? And every time it switches to a different Chao, it is because it is ready to do a small speed boost. And that means if you accidentally press the button, you will have helped the enemy Chao win the race. :chaoangry:

:darkcool: Better graphics, more control, as read above. I mean instead of hitting X and Y on SADX it sets the control to how close you happen to be to your Chao/fruit/other item. So you either end up picking up your chao or pettin git. Not attactking it. Also The leverls were much more fun, and hte colors are a lot brighter. The ending I think was better too. But I have to say that I do miss the ability to just walk around the city. I also think you should be able to put your Chao down in the Chao lobby. :blah: Then there's also the whole alignment thing. The Chao turn to what ever side pets them the most. Oh anfd theres that rather annoying thing where the voices don't match up with the mouth on SADX, it looks liek their just blabbering nonsense. All and all SA2B was much better than SADX :darkhappy:

I have mixed feelings:

Negatives of SADX:

Repetitive Stages: It always went from Emerald Coast, to another stage, then back to Emerald Coast, etc. I hated it big time.
The Chao System, god...it made me sick. But some of it was decent. :) The voices of Chao, especially in the flashbacks....annoyed the living heck of me. Chao Races were awful too.
Some of its controls were awful: Knuckles digging with two buttons irritated me.
Big and Amy's stages....I cannot explain....my god. Big almost made me commit Sonic suicide. But it was funny to make him die when he couldn't catch a fish. :D Fatty! Amy is too slow, and running around with that hammer....made me cry.
ZERO Originality in Bosses, like JMTSHAW said....it's always Eggman or Chaos, or some Character Battles....(sorta like SA2:B)

Positives:

Adventure Fields....and it was fun to commit suicide in Mystic Ruins....and jumping off cliffs. :D

After all, I don´t think Adventure fields are necessary for a good game since Sa2B does not have fields and it´s very good-and even better than SADX-but in case of DX, the whole adventure field setting is also nice to play. But it isn´t needed to make a good 3D Sonic game, I think. :walkto:

I always preferred SADX over SA2B. I really liked the Adventure Fields and the fact that each storyline was in a different character's point of view (Excluding Super Sonic.)

I think SADX is better than SA2:B, Ok Chao aside.

SADX has an explorable overworld, SA2B only has stages.
SADX has more characters that you can follow, unlike SA2:B's team system.
SADX has badniks, SA2:B just has military robots that stalk you.
