A great game masked by a mid port, Sonic Adventure DX is probably one of the most mediocre ports I’ve ever played. I’ve played the GC, DC, PC, and PS3 versions, and it’s safe to say the DC version clears. For DX, the lighting is worse in areas, the models on the characters, I don’t mind, but they look worse, there are way more bugs that weren’t introduced in the DC version. If you play the Steam version for it, I recommend getting the BetterSADX mod for the game, as it’s kinda unplayable without it. Though, Sonic Adventure is still one of my favorite games of all time, the port is very inferior to its DC version, and honestly, I just wish they did a better job. At least they improved with SA2B which is actually a GOOD port while still being inferior to its DC counterpart.
Sonic Adventure DX - Directors Cut gets a 6.1/10
Pros
- It’s still a great game, just a mid port
- Cool new missions
- Metal Sonic addition
Cons
- Lighting is worse
- models are worse
- it has no business being this buggy
- probably one of the only times where Deluxe isn’t actually Deluxe
