The game is running in CryEngine 3, which the Wii U doesn't natively support. For a good portion of the game's development, the devs were making the game with the PS4/XONE in mind. That was until sega struck an exclusivity deal with nintendo for it.

The devs just didn't have enough time to move it to a new engine or fully optimize it. That's why it's so buggy.

Kinda this. The franchise is built around speed with environments with tons of roadblocks. And while the first few were pretty neat, the franchise lost its stride after the Genesis.

Only 2 sonic games I liked after sonic on the Genesis were sonic racing transformed on Wii U and mania. Rest were garbage. Like you said it's built on speed yet so many blocks and stops it's just poor game design. And so many games had bugs and glitches.. terrible ride for sonic overall.

I've argued against the speed thing so many times. Sonic goes fast, but the games aren't about speed...

Robotnik naturally would build speed traps because THAT"S THE CHALLENGE.

A portable successor to a main console game obviously doesn't count.

It's downgraded, it's off-brand spin-off.

Oh look, another trash tier garbage release. This is more evidence that portable releases don't count.

Sonic adventure is a pretty great game. It really feels like an adventure and it has great speed in the beginning until the levels start to get longer.
Some of the levels are so memorable and great. All those chase scenes where you just guide sonic.

You think a number is what makes something a sequel? Sonic Adventure 2 is less of a sequel to its predecessor than Sonic Heroes or '06.
