I found a fansite from 1999 reacting to Sonic Adventure. Highlights:
"Sonic looks like he's gone psycho or evil and Eggman's dressed like a 70's refugee and his arms gained a few feet. To make it worse, they colored all of the character's eyes, instead of keeping them black!"

"Also, all of the main music themes (if you want to call it 'music') is heavy metal....apparently aimed at what they think kids like today. I miss those bip-boppity kiddie synth Sonic tunes!! Heh, and I thought TRAVELER'S TALES was bad!!"
"I think that most of it is a direct result of Sega's past failures and they reaallllyy don't wanna screw it up this time or something, and they feel that they had to act like they are #1. Nintendo didn't have to 'modernize' Mario64 for it to be a success."
And finally, my favorite quote on this page from 22 gosh-darn years ago...
"For 3D, I'm sticking to Sonic Robo Blast 2."
