Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic Adventure 2 (ソニックアドベンチャー ２ Sonikku Adobenchā 2) is a platform video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Dreamcast console. It was released in North America, Europe, and Japan in June 2001 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog series. The game is the last Sonic the Hedgehog title to be released for the Sega platform. Due to Sega's exit from the video game console manufacturing business, the game was ported to the Nintendo GameCube and re-titled Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, with brand-new features as well as minor changes in the level design. The original game and content from Battle was released in high-definition on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in October 2012. A version for Microsoft Windows was released in November 2012.
It is the seventh chronological installment in the series and the sequel to Sonic Adventure. It follows the protagonist team of Sonic the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna, and Miles "Tails" Prower and the antagonist team of Shadow the Hedgehog, Rouge the Bat, and Doctor Eggman and their attempt to work together in order to save the world from destruction.
The game was a commercial and critical success, receiving generally positive reviews; however, criticism was directed towards its camera system and side characters. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle was less positively received than the original release, but was a commercial success, selling more than 1 million copies worldwide and becoming the tenth best-selling Nintendo GameCube game of all time.

Famous quotes containing the word adventure:
“Wilson adventured for the whole of the human race. Not as a servant, but as a champion. So pure was this motive, so unflecked with anything that his worst enemies could find, except the mildest and most excusable, a personal vanity, practically the minimum to be human, that in a sense his adventure is that of humanity itself. In Wilson, the whole of mankind breaks camp, sets out from home and wrestles with the universe and its gods.”
—William Bolitho (1890–1930)
