Intro:
After Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic Team decided that Sonic's previous adventures were worth porting over to Nintendo's six sided box of tricks. The snappily titled Sonic Adventure DX Director's Cut is a port of Sonic Adventure, which was released on the Dreamcast. Rather than being a direct port, the game boasts enhanced graphics and more extras.

Story:
In ancient times, a race of echidnas called the Knuckles tribe discovered mysterious gems called the Chaos Emeralds. Despite warnings, leaders of the tribe pushed for their infinite power to be taken. However, something happened that wiped the entire tribe from history forever. Today, events caused by a certain egg-shaped scientist are causing history to repeat itself...

The Game:
Apart from the enhanced graphics Sonic Adventure DX Director's Cut is essentially the same game as Sonic Adventure. However, there are several features that the Dreamcast original did not have.

The biggest and perhaps most interesting feature is he inclusion of the 'Mini Game Collection', a sort of Sonic Mega Collection for Game Gear games. As you progress through the levels, you slowly unlock all twelve of the 8-bit Sonic games. A Sonic Gear Collection, if you will.

Other features are minor, such as maps of the adventure fields, a spruced up Chao system and brief appearences of Cream the Rabbit (who first appeared in Sonic Advance 2). Unlike the original, which gave you nothing for your troubles, collecting all emblems in the remake will also unlock an extra feature.
