This came up recently: Are the Adventure games (SA& SA2) are better, or are the Boost games superior. Before we begin, two things:

1. Sonic Adventure IS the serie's peak, and has not been surpassed.

2. Please do not trash the Adventure games over 06. That would be like me frowning on Unleashed because Chip almost ruined it.

I say the Adventure games are better (especially SA 1 &2, everything else, meh). I don't have a particular logic, but for I can attest that the storylines were superior (Colors is the only that sort of comes close). Unleashed had potential, but it was sort of a retread, and it lacked enough cutscenes and moved too slow to be compelling. Most of it, I suppose, is nostalgia, but I think that's what makes a lot of things great. And, also, the Egg Viper (and Perfect Chaos to a lesser extent). The Egg Viper remains the mother-of-all modern boss fights involving Eggman. It had lasers, fire, sheer drops, and a rage quit factor only matched by the ball puzzle from Dusty Desert and anything Madden NFL. And it looked awesome. Lastly, I think the level design was a lot more creative. Compare the differences between Lost World, Radical Highway, Final Egg, and the Sky Deck. Then compare Holoska, Adabat, Empire City, and Mazuri. Ta-da!!!
