I mean some of the games were just good for their time. But then there are games like Spyro the Dragon, Ocarina of Time, Half Life, Banjo Kazooie and GameBoy Camera that hold up still as some of the best games in their genre ever. Sonic Adventure has basically never been topped by a game in its franchise since. (At least as far as 3D action games in the sonic series are concerned)

Yeah, Adventure 2 Battle topped the original in most ways tbh. I wish it had more variety in the playable characters, (Adventure 1 had Big, Gamma, and Amy, for instance).) But I understand that they wanted to create a sort of mirror/parity between the light and dark storylines so they gave both sides the same three gameplay styles, instead of having six distinct playstyles.
