Plot

Centuries ago, the Gods bestowed upon the planet seven Chaos Emeralds. These emeralds were a source of absolute power. However, absolute power corrupts absolutely — and it did not take long before wars broke out over who would control the Chaos Emeralds' seemingly unlimited power. This angered the Gods, and so, they created one singular Master Emerald, which held powers that could control and neutralize the Chaos Emeralds. And with the Master Emerald, came a guardian spirit. It is said that a single tribe of Echidnas angered the spirit by attempting to steal the Chaos Emeralds and ruining the sanctuary it was protecting. They were all but completely destroyed within a single night, and the guardian spirit was never seen again. The monster was then named "Chaos," the God of Destruction.

In the present day, the nefarious Doctor Robotnik learns of the legend surrounding Chaos. Believing it to be true, he seeks out the Master Emerald and shatters it, freeing Chaos in the process. Dr. Robotnik's goal is to control Chaos, and use its destructive powers to conquer the world. When Sonic the Hedgehog learns of this, he and his friends spring in to action to stop Eggman — but none of them know the whole story behind Chaos and his entrapment within the Master Emerald. Slowly, through many visits from an Echidna spirit named Tikal, they learn that she had befriended Chaos, and that night: when the Echidna tribe attempted to take the Chaos Emeralds, she sealed both herself and Chaos within the Master Emerald to ensure Chaos would not destroy the world with his rage. Now that Chaos has been freed, Tikal begs Sonic to seal him in the Master Emerald once again. Sonic disagrees — being trapped within the Master Emerald will not stop Chaos' rage, it will just fuel it. Using the power of the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic, Sonic fights Chaos, and Chaos is defeated — his rage neutralized by the overwhelming power of virtue. With the world saved, Tikal and Chaos depart for parts unknown.

Production

Sonic Adventure was generally considered the most impressive display of graphical prowess the genre had seen at the time. It was one of the first titles to be released on the Sega Dreamcast and was also the first "true" Sonic game since Sonic & Knuckles in 1994 . It was largely considered by fans to have been a major comeback for Sonic after a series of badly received or low-key games released in 1995 - 1997 (Sonic 3D Blast, Knuckles' Chaotix, etc.) that deviated from the classic Sonic formula. Also unique is the ability to take a Chao creature found and hatched within the game and place it onto a VMU device for adventure, fighting, and breeding with other Chao on other VMU devices (they can be interconnected).
