Although I recommend this game, I do not believe you should get this game on Steam, unless you have played a lot of Sonic Adventure 2 beforehand. If you have not played this game yet, I recommend you get it on either the PS3 or Xbox 360. This is because there are 2 problems with the Steam version.

The first is that the launcher is horrible. If you are using some sort of Xinput controller, this should not be a problem. However, if you are using a DualShock or Nintendo controller, you have to do a whole process in order to make it work. I have created a guide for this problem, but it is still very time consuming.

The second is that there is a missing texture, which will be extremely confusing for new players. This texture is the (spoiler) portal from the Mystic Melody, which obviously, will make the game harder. As this was released in 2012, it is unlikely that this will be fixed.

Aside from those issues, Sonic Adventure 2 is decent. It is not the greatest Sonic game in my opinion because of its linearity, but the story is one of the better ones in the series. The gameplay, aside from linear, is really good, especially the second half when you get more power-ups. The soundtrack is also pretty good, but not as great as other games in the series such as Sonic 3 & Knuckles. But this game is a good game. You probably will have a better experience playing on the PS3 or Xbox 360, but if you have no other option other than PC, then you should purchace Sonic Adventure 2 on Steam.
