Oddly enough, this is one of my now autistic SISTER'S favorite videogame tunes...

And one of mine as well. It was just badass as utter fuck that one of the game's most integral battles in the Final Story Mode had Shadow the Hedgehog at the head of it, truly giving the newest addition to the Sonic character roster at the time his chance to shine, and with such a badass boss tune to carry everything along. <333 I can still remember feeling like I was just "the hottest shit ever" doing that battle over and over and OVER again. Something about it was hypnotic to me, mostly because EVERY TIME the music reaches 0:50, the biolizard changes its attack pattern and begins to spit those "energy balls" at you that trail along the ground. Every time that happened I was like "god yes," because the contrast between the music and the 'intensity' of the battle (I was 17... XD ) was in perfect sync, and I felt like a god at gaming for knowing exactly what I was supposed to do at that moment.

Okay, so maybe that was just me coming down off of my Marvel vs Capcom 2 high on that same game console (the Sega Dreamcast), but in any case, Sonic Adventure 2 was one of my favorite Dreamcast games to play during the Summer and Winter seasons. I can still remember sitting in a Pizza Hut with my dad literally begging him to buy me this game, because if he didn't I would've been the most unhappy kitty in Dayton... ;_;



There is never a "wrong" time for me to listen to this track. "Anti-hero sees the error of his way, and reaches out for need of the light's salvation?" Fuck yeah...



Yes, I'm aware of all the bad rap the STH games get. But if you know anything about my widespread appreciation for artistry...... (I'D play "Sonic Riders..." ).
