I found a fansite from 1999 reacting to Sonic Adventure. Highlights:
"Sonic looks like he& #39;s gone psycho or evil and Eggman& #39;s dressed like a 70& #39;s refugee and his arms gained a few feet. To make it worse, they colored all of the character& #39;s eyes, instead of keeping them black!"

"Also, all of the main music themes (if you want to call it & #39;music& #39;) 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& #39;S TALES was bad!!"
"I think that most of it is a direct result of Sega& #39;s past failures and they reaallllyy don& #39;t wanna screw it up this time or something, and they feel that they had to act like they are #1. Nintendo didn& #39;t have to & #39;modernize& #39; Mario64 for it to be a success."
And finally, my favorite quote on this page from 22 gosh-darn years ago...
"For 3D, I& #39;m sticking to Sonic Robo Blast 2."
