This game is one of sonics all time best.
Im not just saying that because im a mad sonic fan.
Its got great graphics and to me it seems 3d. Its great if
your looking for fast moving action packed
games. No matter how many times i
play any of the sonic games it never
gets boring! Me and two of my bests friends
are the best we always play sonic we even make
up are own sonic games.

I don't know what this game is like for the other two platforms, but on Xbox, it's a tad confusing. The game gets away with this by giving you control of three characters at once and dividing the characters up into four different teams--Team Sonic, Team Dark, Team Rose, and Team Chaotix. Each team member has his or her own strengths, and your abilities as a team change depending on which character you have set as the team leader. The inclusion of the four different teams, however, seems a bit pointless since the game is virtually identical for all four of the teams, save for some different story elements in between levels. To be blunt, no one cares about these peripheral characters that Sonic Team seems hell-bent on pushing on gamers. People play Sonic games to play as Sonic the Hedgehog.
Unfortunately, the game suffers from a problematic, finicky camera, occasionally spastic controls, and some bad clipping. The level designs are pretty straightforward, though you'll occasionally find portions that aren't entirely intuitive. Moreover, it's likely that you'll find yourself plummeting into a bottomless nothing without any idea of what you did wrong more than once. This is a rental, for sure.

Sonic heroes is a graceful and excellent attempt at combining adventure, speed, exploration, and it cleverly destroys repetition in the process.

The game's base is simple. You can take control of 4 teams, team sonic, team dark, team rose, and team chaotix. This is where the game truly shines, the 4 different teams give sonic heroes a sense of replayability unlike any game before it. Games like jak and Daxter, Super mario sunshine, and voodoo vince really don't have anything on this game in terms of replayabality.

However, instead of stopping there, sonic team decided to make the levels truly brilliant. The levels are different, vigrant and alive. THe fact that this is a non stop thrill ride through picure perfect levels completely rocks.

It is sad, though, that the minor problems from this game garnered bad reviews from bigger magazines and .coms. For instance, falling through levels is a bad glitch in the game. It will piss you off, the targeting system also goes wacko alot of the time. 90% of the time this isn't a problem but be noted, this isn't a perfect bugless title.

Anything else that sucks? Ya, the voices, nolstalgia for kids and fans of the show but another degrading element.

DO the bugs and the voices make this a bad game? No, the multiple gameplay styles and awesome experience shouldn't be left out. If you buy one game this year it should be this one, it really hits gold.

This game would be so much more fun if it was not so fast paced. The game basically does everything for you unless you have to knock through a wall. The levels don't get harder or anything, it's not like Mario where you can just keep going until you win, you choose from four different tracks and that's all your options. I wouldn't get this game.

Sonicheros was different... i mean, there was no chao garden and there wasnt a movie clip after every stage like in sonic adventur 2 battle. i was pretty surprised when amy got her own team, shes usually running along with sonic and buds (though shes still annoying sonic, dont worry!;) team dark was very challanging, but they mad e the stages fun enough you woundnt stop playing until you beet it. my bro thinks team chaotix was really fun, probably because it had different missions like destroying all enimies in a stage or collecting 10 bingo chips. every team follows the same stages in the same order and the same thing goes with tthe bosses ( except when teams are fighting each other like t. rose vs. t. sonic or chaotix vs. dark). Even though this was tottally differnt from other sonic games it was really fun! Hope this was helpful!

This is excactly how i wanted this game to be like. Super speed, super sound, super graphics, gameplay, super heros! A bunch of levels. There are four teams to choose from, each team with their own difficulty level and missions. THere are about 10-12 missions for each team, and each team has their own special team move, (Team sonics is my favorite.) PLus! the missions aren't that hard, and arent that easy, so it will take u a fare amount of time to beat them, but it isn't overly frustrating, like most games are now a days. Dispose of all of the lousy reviews of this game, their just being fussy, this is the real review for this game. Go Sonic!

I purchased the game for my daughter. She loves anything with sonic in it. She enjoys the game and says it is a lot of fun. Im glad I brought it for her.

i kinda liked the game but the levels are kinda the same but in a different way and the bosses are the same in every level only in battle mode is different.

This was my very first look at the "fastest thing alive" and to put it bluntly I've been a die-hard fan ever since!
The story is exciting, and fast-paced, but also great for people who are new to the Sonic world.
There are four different teams to play as, all with there own stories and difficulty levels.
They are Team Rose(easy), Team Sonic(medium), Team Dark(Hard), and Team Chaotix(mission-based).
The level designs and backgrounds are Awesome! They include things like Jungles and canyons. There are 14 levels total.
The gameplay is relaxed and casual. A new feture allows you to play as three characters at a time insted of one and you can switch the "leader" at any time. There are many different moves to use depending on who the leader is and a cool new ultimate move called team blast. Each Team has there own team blast. The Special stages are reminiscent of the ones from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on Genesis, only a lot nicer to look at. The graphics are top-notch and to top it all off what would a Sonic game be without speed! I own over 100 different video games now, but this game is and probably always will be my favorite game. A true Sonic Masterpiece! Way to go SEGA!!!!!

Over all, I think that Sonic Heroes is a great game. Like all games, it has some pros and cons. Here are some of them. Pros- In story mode you can choose from four teams of three, easily switching between the characters on your team. Each team has a different difficulty level along with a little bit different story mode. There are alot of unlockable multiplayer (2-player) games. Also this game has a tutorilal. The enviornments in the game are really cool. Cons-The game is a little bit glitchy, but not enough that it should keep you from buying it. Some times the game can get confusing but if you read the manual and go through the tutorial you probably can figure it out(besides who wants a game that takes them less than a week to finish? Not me). Also some people say that it is sort of like a racing game. You are supposed to go through the stages fast, but on your first time through It's not necessary. I would reccomend Sonic Heroes to anyone that is considering purchasing it.
