Sonic Adventure is a super exciting video game from the popular Sonic the Hedgehog series. It was the very first game made for the Sega Dreamcast console! It first came out in Japan on November 27, 1998. Later, it arrived in North America on September 9, 1999, and in Europe on October 14, 1999.
This game was a big deal because it was the first Sonic game to have 3D worlds you could explore. This was different from the flat 2D levels in older Sonic games. Sonic Adventure was one of the first five games released when the Dreamcast launched in Japan. It even has a sequel called Sonic Adventure 2.
