FINALLY!!! A new sonic game. We had Sonic games on the Gamecube before but they were all originally on another console. They were running on an old gaming engine as well. But this game is a work of art. Everything, the new team formation, the graphics, the storyline (which is interesting because Shadow survived but he doesnt remember how because he got an amnesia and also that his enemy is now Eggman also). There are 4 teams of 3 characters each. Team Sonic has Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Team Dark has Shadow, Rouge, and this new robot guy that was created/betrayed by Eggman called Omega. Team Rose has Amy, Cream and her chao friend Cheese, and Big the Cat. Another excellent thing as well. The people from Knuckles Chaotix returned. Team Chaotix contains Espio, Vector, and Charmy. They all are against Eggman. BUY THIS THE 1ST DAY IT COMES OUT!!!!

I have always wanted this game; ever since it's release. But fopr some reason; I never seemed to get it. Every chance I had, something always went wrong. Wether Blockbuster wouldn't accept my membership card; or, I was short a few bucks. FINALY, after being out with my uncle; not even looking for it, I stumbled across it for $20! We bought it in a heartbeat! As soon as I came home, I started playing it. I was simply blown out of the water by its amazing graphics! It was so colorful! Not to mention the fun of playing it! The controls were perfect! I found it challenging, but not too bad to the point of frustration (exept on a few levels). Overall, this game is definitely worth buying for $20+, wether youre a die hard sonic fan, or new to the series.

BUY THIS GAME! BUY IT NOW!

I played a demo of Sonic Heroes on the bonus Mario Kart double dash game and I loved it. (this is coming from a big sonic fan even with sonic stuffed animals(avalible on ebay))If you like sonic games this is great. You can play with 3 characters at a time and each have its own ability. I also suggest getting Sonic adventure 2 battle and Sonic adventure DX. (for those who played adventure 2 battle Shadow comes back!. These are also great and I have a feeling you wont be sorry for getting Sonic Heroes!
Happy New Year!

This game is loads of fun. It's as good as Sonic Adventure 1 and Sonic Adventure 2.

First, let me start off with the characters. There are four teams. Team Sonic, Team Dark, Team Rose, and Team Chaotix. Team Sonic is composed of the original heroes, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Team Dark features Shadow, Rouge, and a new character, E-123, a.k.a. Omega. Team Rose is made up of Amy, Cream, and Big. And finally, Team Chaotix brings back our long lost heroes from Knuckles Chaotix, Espio, Charmy, and Vector. Sonic Team kicked out Mighty. Haha.

Team Rose is the ideal team for beginners to Sonic the Hedgehog games, Team Sonic is for intermediate players, and Team Dark is for the really advanced ones. Team Chaotix has unique missions, so it doesn't really matter if you're bad at Sonic games or not. You're gonna be searching for stuff, like a scavenger, so it's different.

I have to say that these 12 characters are a very good thing to the Sonic storyline. It's not just a dumb "run around the place and beat Eggman with no reason whatsoever" game. Now since the characters interact, there is a storyline, and it makes the game make sense, and more fun.

The graphics ROCK. Especially if you buy the Gamecube version, that's the one I bought.

The team themes are awesome. I recommend listening to the Team Chaotix and Team Dark theme. Those two are the best. The Team Rose theme is okay. And the Team Sonic theme...well...it's not good...The opening Sonic Heroes theme is also awesome, and I have not much to say about Eggman's theme. I haven't listened to it in a while.

There are 14 levels, and bonus stages as well. And they are FUN. Loads of fun. You'll instantly get used to the three character action; you can change characters with the push of a button.

When you've got a friend at your house, you can play 2P on this game. It's not really all that great, and I recommend the 2P on Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, but, ohh well. It's still 2P.



Overall, I give this game an 11 out of 10. You will probably too. Or at least a 10.

This is better than any classic Sonic game, or even the Adventure games! I loved those too, but this is the ultimate! You get to play as 4 teams with some of your favorite carachters. The teams are: Team Sonic (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles)(DUH!), Team Dark (Shadow, Rouge, Omega), Team Rose (Amy, Cream, Big), and Team Chaotix (Espio, Charmy, Vector)... I beat the whole game with all 4 teams, and the last story too!! I dont wanna spoil any last story info, to those who havent beat it. Im gonna tell the storylines of the 4 teams story modes...

Team Sonic: While Sonic races around the rocks in the mountains, Tails and Knuckles come back and give Sonic an evil letter from Eggman. Eggman: MUHAHAHAHA!! Guess what, Sonic Heroes?! Ive finally devoloped the ultimate weapon and will conquer the world in 3 days! Think you can stop me!? MUHAHAHAHA!! Oh, that dumb robot, he always thinks he can really destroy Sonic. Back to the story. Then, Sonic, Tails, & Knuckles speed off to find Eggman.

Team Dark: Rouge breaks into Eggman's base to find his secret treasure. But, suddenly in this room, she finds Shadow, only to find out that he has amneisa! What also happens is Rouge accidently frees E-123 Omega, the most powerful E-Series robot. Omega: Must eraticate all Eggman's robots! Eggman just sealed him away, and didnt pay any attention to him. Eggman! OK, then, Rouge, Shadow, and Omega join forces to look for Eggman, and to try to get Shadow's memory back.

Team Rose: It's a lovely day... Amy reads the newspaper, and finds Sonic, Froggy, and Chacola. Chacola is Cheese The Chao's brother. And, yall know Froggy, hes Big's pet and buddy. Suddenly, the newspaper and Cream get blown by the wind. Big catches Cream with his fishing rod... Cream & Big look in the newspaper too, and are sad to find Chacola and Froggy missing. So, they set off to find Froggy, Chacola, and Sonic...

Team Chaotix: This is their second appearence. They were orignally with Knuckles in a game called Knuckles Chaotix. Ok... It's a lazy day in the Chaotix Dective Agency's place, until Charmy comes in and finds a delivery. When they open it, a radio with a strange voice is tellin them that he can pay them handsomly. Charmy & Vector just are delighted and have cash in their eyes! LOL! Espio has a bad feeling about it. Vector: Espio, dont be silly! You know our policy, we never turn down work that pays. Charmy: Yeah, you know our policy! So, they head off to get their rewards. Im not spoiling who the clinet really is.

OK, that was it, everyone. Peace.

P.S. Buy this game if you have a Gamecube, XBOX, or PS2 ASAP!

Pros

1. E102 rocks!!
2. Grade A graphics.
3. Fun objectives.
4. Four teams to choose from.
5. Fun bosses.
6. Has a team for each difficulty level. (ie: Dark-hard. Sonic- medium. Amy-easy. Chaotix-harder that Amy, but easier than Sonic.)

Huh boy. Now time for the cons

1. Camera views just improved about 5%.
2. Ummmmmmmmm...

I have never played a Sonic game before, save Sonic Adventure 2 Battle at electronics stores, but when I played Sonic Heroes on my demo disk that came with Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, I was immediately hooked. This could easily be one of the best games I have ever played. I would reccomend this game to anybody!

Sonic Heroes is a game which uses a whole new style of gameplay. The main focus being teamwork, players control four teams, each consisting of three characters. There is Team Sonic, featuring Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, Team Dark, with Shadow, Rouge, and a new robot named Omega, Team Rose, consisting of Amy, Cream, and Big, and the return of the Chaotix in Team Chaotix, which has Espio, Vector, and Charmy in it. Each team has three formations, which each character is assigned to. The formations are: speed, flying, and power. Speed characters are used to zip through the level, power characters are used to get rid of obstacles and enemies, and the flying characters are used to reach higher places. Also, each team has a different style of gameplay. In Team Sonic, the focus is to get through the level quickly and stylishly. Team Dark's gameplay is more focused on combat, so expect high amounts of enemies. Team Rose is designed to be used by beginners, think of them as Team Sonic on easy mode. Team Chaotix, however, requires the player to use stealth and to sometimes collect items. All in all, this game looks extremely fun, and hits GameCube January 7th in North America. The Xbox and PS2 versions follow on the 27th, so be on the lookout!

Oh, and by the way, don't be fooled by their name, but Team Dark is, indeed, good.

This Sonic game might be the best if the camera views wasn't so bad. Anyway this game has five teams Team dark, Team Sonic, Team Rose,Team Chaotix, and Team Super witch you have to unlock. You can switch trough three characters by pressing the X and Y buttons and each character has a special technique, speed power and fly, use different ones in order to overcome obsticals. Each Character has a level up two(3 is maximum) you can get these by destroying enemies or bosses. The coins are still rings and you lose a life by restarting the game like Sonic Adventure 2, but you can get an extra life by getting one hundred rings. This game also features the return or Metal Sonic! Oh and I forgot to mention that at the end of each stage you get a ranking ( A,B,C,D,E) E is the worst A is the best. Sonic Heroes has 14 (long)massive levels that will give you hours of gamplay. It doesn't take much practice once you get use to the buttons or if you have been playing adventure games. The graphics are cool and they look similair to the Sonic on Dreamcast, but it is a great game and it is out now in Wal mart K mart or any store you go to.

PROS
-Better voices
-Better music
-Beautiful graphics
-Enemies don't die after 1 hit
-Levels are longer and more challenging
-Multiplayer

CONS
-Camera angle still needs a bit of work
-No Chao Garden
-All of the teams go through the same levels
-Pointless in-level dialogue ("Wow, my head's spinning!" "What a wild ride!")
-I don't think it's fair that they made Team Dark have the hardest stages. They're my favorite team, and their levels take like, 20 minutes to complete. And the boss battles... oh, the boss battles...
-They brought Omochao back (but at least he doesn't stalk you in the levels this time)

OVERALL
This game is wonderful and highly addicting, but it does have some flaws. But hey, nothing is perfect, right? I'd reccomend renting it before buying it. I congratulate the Sonic Team for making another great game, and even if it does have flaws, they can't do anything but keep getting better. I reccomend this game.
