What our customer's say!

"another underated sonic game to add to the pile", sonic heroes is a nice game to add to your collection. the only reason i feel it's underated, is because it's sonic first true run to the new systems. sonic fans didn't know how exactly to handle it, and began talking smack to it, ingnoring all this game has to offer the average gamer. don't get me wrong, the games not flawless. the controls can be frustrating at times. it's not a problem running, but in the more complex levels and the boss battles, it'll where you nerves. the camera is not the best sonic seen, but it's not the worst. overall, the game is fun. weather you're a sonic fan or not, you'll enjoy this game.

"Awesome! 3 Character Gameplay!", I think that so far, this is my 2nd favorite Sonic game that I've played so far. The levels are loads of fun and full of cool new 3 character action. Each of the 4 teams has a speed, flying and power character, each with it's own ability. You use each of those abilities to progress in the game. At first, I must admit, it can be confusing and frustrating trying to figure out when and where to use each character, but as time goes on, you become acustomed to it and much it's easier to manuever. I feel one downside is that each team goes through the exact same levels. But with each team having its own difficulty level, it changes a few things that you'll have to figure out. But a great game and recommened to all.

"A Fast & Fun Game", Sonic Heroes is sure a blast. this game is very fun. this is a game that every sonic fan will enjoy.

"3 person team is frustrating", I wasn't happy with this game. The fact that you would be going fast in a level and then need to be abruptly stopped to change the character you were using. It would have been better if this wasn't required to move forward in the levels. Being an old time Sonic fan, I will probably be sticking to the old 2D version games since the new Sonic games just seem to be lacking.

"Promising, yet a mess.", This is one of Sonic's worst games. Surely, it was the worst one on the Nintendo GameCube. To say that it was disgraceful and glitchy is the serious understatement of the week.

The character's charms and voice acting was there, but the soul wasn't. The levels were nice and huge as promised but there were many glitches and the story left so much to be desired. I think we loved this game for 2 weeks and then it hit us: THIS GAME IS SERIOUSLY STUPID.

"I loved this game", it reminded me of sonic 3 sonic and kunckles and sonic 2 seeaside hill through rail canon reminded me of sonic three it was and awsome game ilove this game and sonic advace 3 its such a classic

"To the guy who hates Sonic Adventure 2...", If you hate 3D Sonic games, but like the 2D Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic CD... AND SOME OTHER GOOD 2D SONIC GAMES... you're a true sonic fan. I love the 3d sonic games. I just wish that SEGA wouldn't be third party. I like Nintendo and I think SEGA and Nintendo are tied. And I still think they're rivals! But to the guy who hates Sonic Adventure 2... you suck.

"To the guy who hates Sonic Adventure 2", You hate that game?! That game rocks! Well yeah the original Sonic Adventure was better then Sonic Adventure 2 and if you hate the original Sonic Adventure 1 you're not a true Sonic fan...and if yo hate its sequel... you're not a true sonic fan! And yes many of the 2D Sonic games are better then the 3D games.

"Fun but Hard!", Sonic Heroes was a game I was looking forward to... and I loved the game.

I got this game when I was in 2nd grade( I just passed 4th grade recently, after my summer break I going to 5th) in TARGET for gamecube( in March 2004... I only had a Gamecube( i THEN GOT A PS2 in June and then got a XBOX in septmber, I did have a Genesis, PS1, N64, Dreamcast and handhelds which are Gameboy Color, I got DS in Christmas 2005 and my brother got A PSP... i WANNA get a Gameboy Micro and a DS lite and PS3, MAIN REASON IS because of the new Sonic game, a Wii, and a XBOX 360, a 360 ain't good but a few games are gonna be good and the graphics are good)when my dad was buying it... I was playing the demo.
Gameplay is tight! Sonic has some new speedy tricks, Knuckles' Punches are awesome then ever, and the Fly People are OK. Team Sonic is my Favorite team because they have Sonic, who is my fav character throughout the sonic series and for mostly all Sonic games Sonic is my best Character, execpt Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic is just a Co-op buddy but Sonic is my fav co-op buddy.

Special Stages: Fun, reminds of the Sonic the hedgehog 2 special stages but they should use the Sonic 1 special stages which are easier. I mean... I never got ANY chaos EMERALDS! i BEAT STORY Mode with Team Rose( im a boy, team rose was the first team I beat it with) Team Sonic( my second team I beat it with) and Team Chaotix( my brother beat that) but Team Dark! Well they're Cool and all but I was on the Act 2 version of the Frog Forest, which is Lost Jungle, I mean I couldn't beat the level! Inever beat Last Story... my friend did... and some other is on the Chaotix story... the game then started not working... we lost the Gamecube Memory Card... but then got a new memory card! The other Sonic games I had for Gamecube... Sonic Adventure 2 Battle was not working after a long time... I lost Sonic Adventure DX... Sonic Mega Collection started not to work... and i bought all my other sonic games for gamecube...execpt mega collection and Sonic Heroes! What's the point of getting Mega Collection when I got the PLUS ONE FOR PS2 and I might get Sonic Heroes again.


"3D Sonic at its best ... so far", Game basics:
This game is an improvement on the other two sonic games for the GC. Sonic Team just keeps getting better and better and better and... Everything is better except for the chao garden, which is sadly not in this game. You play as one team out of four. When you come across a certain obstacle, you must usually switch to the appropriate leader: speed, fly, or power. Each type of leader has different moves, speed, jump height, etc.. Much of the time, these obstacles will be easy to pass - just one action - but some will be a little more challenging. Also, each leader has slightly different attributes and actions. Each team traverses the same levels with different variations, but each of them are different and have different extra missions. The gameplay is laid-back most of the time, and the enemies are usually pretty simple to defeat. Sonic coasts around loop-the-loops and other crazy tracks often, without you controlling him, but these situations are infrequent enough that they don't get boring and tiresome. And by the way, for those who don't know, rings are what keep you alive. When you get hit, you lose them all. If you collect more, you have a shield again. When you get hit without rings, you die.

Gameplay:34/35
This game is so fun that it would be enjoyable playing on a completed file with no obvious reason. Let me start out by saying that switching characters is NOT annoying and inconvenient, like some people say. It is actually quite smooth and fun. It is annoying, however, when your teamate gets hurt and you have to wait until they're recovered before you can switch to having them as the leader. It's graphical advantages help doing pointless things, like grinding on rails, become much more fun than they were in the other games. Some of the other things like graphics, music, etc. help this, but it would still be great without those. One of the factors is that gaming is very smooth. The light dash is easy to use, and if you don't press B at the right time you still don't slow down almost to a stop as in SA2:B (Sonic adventure 2:Battle). I won't even mention the light dash in SADX. I've heard people complain about camera, but I don't see why. It would only be bad if you were going backwards through a level, and this never happens. Most of the enemies have three hits with speed or flying characters, but this isn't as annoying as most sonic veterans would think. That's what power formation is for! There's also a new feature that can serve as a solution to this problem. Powercores! If you collect the items found in some enemies and item boxes, you will level up your character. Powercores level up your character's attacks, for the most part. If you have two for sonic, for instance, he can destroy most enemies with one homing attack. Unfortunately, you lose all of your upgrades when you die. If you die later in the level, you will have to do the harder parts without the powercores you were intended to have at that point! Finally, Sonic doesn't need to jump into the air to destroy an enemy. Knuckles can just become the leader and take out most enemies in one punch. The only things that really makes me lose my temper are the EVIL special stages.

Team Sonic: These stages are fast, smooth, simple, and fun. There are occasional places where you just hold up to run and admire the (amazing) scenery - that's OK, because these spaces are balanced by frequent platforming and enemies. In my opinion, Sonic, obviously the speed character, is the best of his type (along with Shadow, who is identical). He can execute a tornado move that removes enemies' shields, and he can dash along trails of rings. Knuckles is the power character, and his punches are debatably the best. Tails, who we all love :D is the flying character! All flying characters are pretty much identical.

Team Dark: Their stages are pretty much the same as Team Sonic's. However, they have more enemies, most of which are pathetic little things that make little difference. But they do have a few more difficult moments. Shadow is Sonic's clone as far as controls go. E-123 Omega is a lot like Knuckles, but he is a little more hyper, so he falls off edges a lot. Rouge ... I already commented about the flying characters.

Team Rose: Easy stages - easy, easy, easy. All the characters are slow. Their stages are about three minutes apiece. There are very few enemies. Very simple. Amy is slow, but she has some fun moves, including one where she uses her hammer to float in the air. Big is a lumbering thing, slow and annoying. Instead of punching, he throws the other characters. Cream is the third character.

Team Chaotix: Their stages have very random goals, like gathering rings or finding "hidden" objects. Some of them are fun, like one mission where you need to extinguish hidden torches. Espio the Chameleon, the speed character, can turn invisible. His shield-removing teqnique is a very good tool for killing him off. Vector throws his teamates like Big, but he is faster and his upgrades are better. Charmy the bee is the flying character; that's all you need to know.

Replay value/length:29/30
As I mentioned above, it would be fun without actually replaying it; just playing a completed game. It should last you a while, though. Unfortunatly, Each team has the same stages; just different paths, enemies, and traps. The goals, in order of sequence, start with beating each team's story, getting the chaos emeralds, beating the last story, getting all the "A" ranks, and then beating the extra mode that will bug you until you find out what it is. The replay value is high because of the gameplay and that there are no big secrets to give away.

Plot:6/10
The plot sounds pretty lame at first, but at least it makes sense in the end if you think about it.
Team Rose's story begins with Amy, Big, and Cream looking at a newspaper that had a (black and white) picture of "sonic" stealing Big's friend "Froggy" and Cheese's brother, Chocola chao. Those of you who played SA2:B have heard this kind of thing before.
The Chaotix detective agency (Espio the chameleon, Charmy the bee, and Vector the crocodile) finaly gets work in the form of a walkie-talkie thing that comes in the mail. Strange.
The Dark team's members meet each other when Rouge invades Eggman's base, accidentaly awakening her future team members: Omega and Shadow, who "died" again (if you watch sonic X you'd know what I mean).
Team Sonic's story starts with a message from Eggman that states he will have the ultimate weapon ready in three days. Smart, Egg belly. Actually, he does need them for something. What? Meesa no tell you! You SHOULD figure out the reason at the end of the Egg Albatross.

Graphics:17/15
THIS GAME HAS THE BEST GRAPHICS OF ANY GAME IV'E SEEN BEFORE!!!That is to say it's good, you understand. Special effects (what else am I supposed to call them?) surround characters when they do anything but the most basic actions. Unlike SA2:B, there are actually stages that have nice backgrounds. All the levels (except one) have great scenery. Instead of walls, now, there are pits. (But HEY! at least you get to see cool scenery when you die!) For instance, in Grand Metropolis, there is a futuristic city down millions of feet. Or in Rail canyon, there is an EXTREMELY intricate canyon. Only one level has walls as backgrounds. Not to mention that the character models are incredibly detailed. And finally, many cutscenes in this game are in awesome CG. Phwew!

Music/sound: 9/10
Highly appropriate music for each stage. Not only that, but it's fun to listen to on the soundtrack. Each team has a cool theme song plus a main and final boss theme. Team Sonic's is kind of lame, and Team Rose's is a true matter of opinion, but the others are nicely done. It's kind of hard to hear what they're saying, however. And yes, you rap fans won't enjoy the Team Rose theme that much, but so what?
It starts out annoying when the flying characters say "Wee" or "Yah" or whatever they say, but you get used to the noise.
It's sometimes funny to listen to what the characters say when they get points. Some people complain about the characters talking too much. Think about it this way: How could they not talk? Would the three of them do the mission in silence without even talking too each other?!? However, some of the lines are repeated frequently, which is kind of annoying. Some are also poorly translated, like Tails's, "Look at all those Eggman's robots!" =0.

Overall:95/100
I added up the scores for the different categories and this is what I got. In summary, this game is fun to play, can be played over and over again, has great graphics and sound, and has an okay plot.

TRUE SONIC: If I've said it once, I've said it 300,000,000 times: this game is nothing like 2D Sonic. That means that fans of the 2D Sonic may not like this if they have closed minds, and it means people (actually - like me) that generally hate 2D Sonic to death might like the game. For me, true Sonic is only starting.

THE COMMON CONS
1. camera problems: I disagree with this entirely. The camera is not a problem! What is everyone's problem!?! Do you press the camera zoom-in button to try and move?
2. Story: Poor Sega. they can't make everyone happy. Some people say there is too much, and some say there is not enough. I personally like a good storyline and a lot of it. Just not as much as in SADX, where there was a cutscene after every stage.
3. ___ can't___: Sonic can't spindash, Knuckles can't climb or glide, and Tails can't tail whip. It's true, sadly. BUT WHAT WOULD BE THE PURPOSE OF FLYING IF KNUCKLES COULD CLIMB AND GLIDE? WHAT WOULD BE THE PURPOSE OF SONIC'S TEAMATES IF HE COULD SPINDASH? WHY THE #@!$%@ WOULD TAILS TAIL WHIP WHEN HE CAN SHOOT HIS TEAMATES IN THUNDER SHOOT? New playing styles are okay, people.
4. Graphics: read my opinion on them above.
5. Music is not good: stupid rap was trashed after SA2:B. Play that if you want rap, and play this if you want actual music. The stages have awesome music playing in the background. You won't find yourself singing it, but it makes incredible BGM.
6. Powercores: OH NO! A REAL CON! *gasp* *choke* *cough*. Read all about it in my gameplay rating above.
7. Stages have identical themes for each team: Think about it this way: would you rather have a lot of stupid backgrounds (SA2:B) or a few REALLY awesome ones (Sonic Heroes)?
8. Some of the levels have the same paths for two teams: Since you only have two missions per level, playing as another team on a level could be considered a hard mode for that level. I've never really gotten sick of a level because I played it with two teams. The thing is: there just aren't enough missions for each team to make the stage repetetive.
9. Enemies are too simple to destroy: this is an easy one to disprove. If you're that good at the game, then you'll try to go for points by destroying enemies quickly. (getting points earns you an "A" ranking, and you need to get all A ranks to complete the game)
10. the 2D games are better: I think people say this so much because they aren't wanting change. It's true, the 2D games are much faster at their best. Nevertheless, I like the 3D games more.

Q and A:
Q: Is this a true Sonic game?
A: It follows the tradition of the past two 3D games, though it mostly follows the speed characters from both games. It depends on what you think a "true" Sonic game is. These aren't at all like the 2D games everyone is attached to.
Q: Is switching between characters like playing three playing styles at once; would it be like alternating between Sonic and Knuckles in SA2:B?
A: No, it has the same playing style all the way through; the switching just adds a ton of new moves and techniques.
Q: How hard is the game?
A: Easier than SA2:B, but harder than SADX. I'd rank it at medium difficulty. Like most games, it is a lot harder the first time through.
