Sonic Adventure (2010)

Sonic Adventure is a downloadable version of the original game released for PlayStation 3's PlayStation Network and Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade on 2010 worldwide. This port was officially announced by Sega on 10 June 2010 that it would be released on the aforementioned platforms. It was then released for Steam on 2011 under the name Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, containing most of the changes found in that game.

New features

 * An online leaderboard feature has been added, allowing players to see where they rank in terms of their high scores in each Action Stage.
 * In the Xbox Live Arcade/PlayStation Network versions, the player has the option to purchase the Sonic Adventure DX DLC which upgrades the game to Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut and includes all features in the GameCube and PC ports. However, the Game Gear video games were removed.

Changes

 * The cutscene in Super Sonic's Story when Sonic is at the burning altar is shown in a more cinematic style.
 * The graphics are brighter, with even shinier character models. Textures are more clear due to HD.
 * The sound effects in the sound test menu respond better and are more organized.
 * The text font for the subtitles are different (due to being a port of the original PC release from 2004).
 * There are purple borders on each side of the screen (if played in widescreen), due to difficulties with making the game in true widescreen.
 * In Mission 12 for Knuckles the signs that had images of: Sonic Mega Collection, Sonic Advance 2 and Sonic Pinball Party now have images of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I and Sonic Unleashed respectively.
 * The opening title sequence restores the original Sonic Adventure logo, although the rest of the video is identical to Sonic Adventure DX.
