Sonic Adventure 2: Battle features faster action, all-new two-player games, and a branching storyline that lets you choose to save the world as the Hero side, or conquer it as the Dark side.
Two new playable characters enter the Sonic universe -- a mysterious dark hedgehog called Shadow, and a jewel-thieving bat named Rouge. In the single-player mode, you'll go through more than 30 unique stages, which include everything from a forgotten pyramid, an abandoned military base, and a giant space station. Then there's the expanded two-player mode, which features 12 playable characters competing in new head-to-head games. All of this adds up to Sonic's biggest adventure yet!Show more

This is my favorite Sonic game, it's a great part of my childhood. I play this game at least two times every year. The introduction of the new two characters were awesome and the interaction between them through the game, also the Chao Garden it's awesome, you can take care of your Chao and rise it into a great and healthy Chao.
Genuinely one of my favorite games of all time. Incredible soundtrack, Chao garden is awesome, levels are extremely fun. One of the main issues i have with it though is my steam copy on PC cannot be launched on my Asus Rog Ally X without massive amounts of tweaking, even then it might fail. It's in dire need of a compatibility upgrade.
A Dreamcast classic with high replay value, lots of things to like about the game, the Chao Garden, a Sountrack filled with great music from across the musical spectrum and (mostly) levels that offer a lot of replay value.
Plus, Shadow the Hedgehog was introduced in this game and became my instant favourite character in the series with how he was portrayed in this game from start to finish.
As for why GOG? The game already got a release on PC back in 2012, however that release is slowly falling to the annals of time, having this game be immortalized with support for years to come would be great.
Easily one of my favorite Sonic games. I remembered playing it on Sega Dreamcast. I later got to play it on GameCube and Xbox 360. Considering it's a direct sequel to Sonic Adventure wow!!! In many aspects surpasses it to a degree. The newer version you could buy DLC that adds stuff from the updated GameCube port in. You get a lot of Sonic characters to play as. More true in the multiplayer with a few match types. The soundtrack with the sound effects absolutely amazing!!! Some truly fantastic 3D levels you can replay the hell out of. There's plenty of great unlockables. Chao World almost felt like it's own unique experience. A nice break from everything else to raise some Chao. Sonic Adventure 2 greatly expended on most game play styles of Sonic Adventure 1. I always enjoyed Sonic Adventure series a lot. It was the debut of my favorite Sonic character. Shadow the Hedgehog was such a great character in this. Sonic 3 movie heavily based on this game. Look how well that was going at the box office. I do think a lot of Sega fans be deeply overjoyed if Sonic Adventure 2 came to GOG. This is so packed with content you'll be playing for months straight it's that good!!!
I have never played SA2B. I just think the PC Port needs some fixes and enhancements, lol. Until then, let's get some more votes in so people can recognize such a beloved game!
I grew up with the Gamecube back in the 2000s, I loved the story, Chao Gardens, hell even trying to get S rank for the secret levels. if this was added to the Gog list i'd be content with the outcome. if not well I've got enough copies (physical and digital) to back up my childhood.
Truly the greatest Sonic game of all time with its physics focus, chaotic array of different modes and downtime caring for my chao. I have played so much of this game, shared so much time in it with my sister and even taken to speedrunning it. I would love to see it preserved for the future.
First game to ever introduce me to Sonic the Hedgehog. It is my favorite 3D sonic game of all time. Amazing soundtrack, levels have enthralled great high-speed action, the story is cheesy and awesome simultaneously, and it is overall a great time. This game needs to be updated with modern hardware so that it doesn't get lost in the sands of time. It needs a complete remake, with modern cinematics, redubbing that matches what the characters are saying, and remaking the levels without any glitches.
i killed so many hours in this game simply messing about in the chao gardens, repeating certain levels farming for dragons and turning my chaos into absolute machines winning every single challenge. this game is a treasure

God of WarGod of War is an action-adventure hack-and-slash video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE). Initially launched for the PlayStation 2, the game stands as the first instalment in the God of War series and the third in chronological order. Loosely inspired by Greek mythology, it unfolds in ancient Greece with vengeance as its central theme. The player takes on the role of Kratos, the protagonist, a Spartan warrior devoted to the Olympian gods. Tasked by the goddess Athena, Kratos is assigned to eliminate Ares, the God of War and Kratos' former mentor. Ares had deceitfully manipulated Kratos into killing his wife and daughter. As Ares attacks Athens fueled by hatred for Athena, Kratos embarks on a quest to locate Pandora's Box, the sole object capable of permanently stopping the vengeful god.Action Fantasy Historical
God of War: Chains of OlympusKratos makes his inaugural appearance on a portable gaming platform in the third instalment of the God of War series. Chains of Olympus serves as a prequel, unfolding its narrative a decade before the events in the original God of War. While retaining the familiar gameplay dynamics of its predecessors, subtle modifications enhance the overall experience. Kratos embarks on a journey through various levels, engaging in relentless combat against foes and formidable bosses, deciphering puzzles based on manipulating boxes, and participating in quick-time events. Throughout his odyssey, he amasses red orbs to fortify his weapons and abilities, secures Gorgon eyeballs to augment his health, and acquires Phoenix feathers to amplify his magical prowess.
The game's controls underwent refinement to harmonize with the reduced button configuration of the PSP. Dodging, for instance, now necessitates the utilization of both shoulder buttons and the analogue stick. The iconic Blades of Chaos, synonymous with the God of War series, make a return, accompanied by an array of new weapons and magical spells such as the Sun Shield, Efreet spell, and Light of Dawn.
The narrative unfolds as the Gods dispatch Kratos to the city of Attica, charging him with the defence against an encroaching Persian army. However, as Morpheus unleashes chaos, Kratos finds himself compelled to harness his formidable powers to once again rescue the world from impending doom.Action Fantasy Historical
God of War: AscensionGod of War: Ascension, the seventh instalment in the God of War series, acts as a prequel to the preceding games. The narrative revolves around Kratos, the protagonist from earlier instalments, who was once a loyal servant of the God of War, Ares. Tricked by Ares into unknowingly murdering his own family, Kratos breaks the blood oath binding him to Ares and abandons his former master. Subsequently, Kratos finds himself imprisoned and must navigate a path to freedom, severing the bond between him and Ares.
The game retains the familiar hack-and-slash combat system of its predecessors, featuring Kratos wielding the Blades of Chaos. However, a new addition, the World Weapon system, allows Kratos to wield various weapons. Additionally, Kratos can now acquire up to four magical disciplines—Fires of Ares, Ice of Poseidon, Lightning of Zeus, and Soul of Hades—each bestowing unique abilities and imbuing his weapon with magic. For instance, the Ice of Poseidon enables underwater breathing. Rage, a recurring feature, undergoes modifications; it accumulates through attacks, and when the bar is full, it automatically unleashes until the player ceases attacking or sustains damage. Three new relics provide Kratos with the ability to manipulate time, create a "shadow" self, and dispel illusions crafted by his guardians.
Notably, God of War: Ascension introduces online multiplayer to the series. Players, before engaging in multiplayer battles, align with one of four gods—Ares, Hades, Zeus, or Poseidon—each offering a distinct set of abilities. As players accumulate experience and level up their warriors, they unlock magical abilities, armour, weapons, relics, and other treasures. The game features four distinct multiplayer modes: Team Favor of the Gods, Match of Champions, Trial of the Gods, and Capture the FlagAction Fantasy Historical
God of War: Ghost of Sparta"Marking Kratos' second foray into portable gaming, God of War: Ghost of Sparta stands as a spin-off nestled between the events of God of War and God of War II. Despite ascending to the title of the god of war, Kratos remains haunted by nightmarish visions. One such vision compels him to embark on a new journey when he witnesses his mother, Callisto, imprisoned in Atlantis under the dominion of the sea god Poseidon. Against Athena's counsel to ignore the vision, Kratos sets forth to unravel his past and, in the process, rescue his long-lost brother, Deimos, from the clutches of the god of death, Thanatos.
This second instalment for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) maintains a gameplay style akin to its predecessor, introducing a handful of new mechanics. Kratos wields his trusty Blades of Athena in this quest, now augmented with a new magic known as Thera's Bane, amplifying the potency of his attacks. The game also introduces several new magical items and a fresh secondary weapon. In addition to the captivating story mode, Ghost of Sparta offers the "Temple of Zeus," a location where players can spend orbs acquired in the Battle Arena to acquire various art and other bonuses."Action Fantasy Historical
