Submitted by: Meristation.com Sonic Adventure 2: The Trial was a free demo given away when you bought Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast. It included one level [City Escape] and included a fair few things not found in the final game. At the time, the SA2 logo was very different, with a black/white design, those being the good/evil extremes. Later put to a Blue/Black design with a whole different look for the two.

Submitted by: IGN.com The most obvious difference between this demo and the final is Sonic's shoes. By this time Sonic was still wearing his original sneakers, but by the final game a deal was stuck with SOAP Shoes, where Sonic would be wearing modified versions of them to show off the 'grinding' style which SOAP Shoes give.

Submitted by: IGN.com Overall, the level is pretty much the same, the only differences were some signs, as these just basically pointed to Phantasy Star Online commercials. Click the image for a larger version. |

Submitted by: Gamespot.com When Sonic finishes the level, a grading is given. To get an A in SA2 Trial was a lot more difficult than it was in the final game, most likely to give it a bit more longevity for such a small demo. Click the image for a larger version. |
