Sonic Adventure Goes Gold
We're
so excited, we can hardly contain ourselves!
August 26, 1999
Just
a quick note to let you know that Sonic Adventure has gone gold. By
now, you've probably heard everything there is to know about the
game, from its amazing speed to its problematic camera angles, all
the way to the recent announcement of expanded internet support for
the U.S. version. For the record, here's Sega's official word on
what you'll get when you shell out the $40 to $50 for the game on
9/9/99.
Fastest game ever in its genre
Six different characters (including two brand new ones), Six
different styles of gameplay with six different endings, and Three
Huge 3D worlds to explore with more than 30 attraction stages
Immense storyline allows players to see the story unfold from
six different points of view
Extra objectives for added difficulty when replaying completed
levels.
All-new Sonic moves including the "Light Speed Dash"
Numerous mini-games to expand the experience
Internet support: download special add-ons, post messages to
bulletin boards, share tips and tricks with other Sonic gamers all
over the world and upload high scores and see rankings. Players can
also get special information on players. Additional downloads will
be added through time.
Mini Games with Chao Characters: Using the adorable hidden
"chao" (artificial life) creatures, gamers can explore an all new
world using the Internet capabilities of the game. Create your own
Chao creature, download it into your Visual Memory Unit (VMU) and
nurture and grow it.
Upload and trade your Chaos: In the "Chao Daycare" area on the
network, view Chaos crated by other gamers, send e-mail comments to
them about their Chaos and even password protect your Chao so that
only your friends can see it.
I've played through the import like a madman, but the new
internet features are just too much to ignore, so it looks like I'll
probably be picking up the U.S. version. Join me in the Chao daycare
center?
