Decent game if you are a Sonic fan...

I purchased "Sonic Heroes" for the Gamecube, however recently rented the PS2 version as I was curious as to how it fared against the GC version.

Let me begin by stating that if you have a Gamecube, you may seriously want to consider purchasing the GC version over the PS2 version. The graphics and sound quality are, overall, superior. (I believe "Sonic Heroes" was developed for the GC, then ported over to the PS2/X-Box.)

As for the X-Box version, I can't comment as I haven't tried it. I do own an X-Box in addition to the PS2 and GC, and perhaps will give it a rental try in the future. Given the hardware of the X-Box, I would be inclined to believe that the X-Box version is superior to the PS2 version as well -- but haven't played it, I really can't say.

(Note: By no means am I down talking the PS2. I have a PS2 and there are many PS2 exclusive games for it that I couldn't live without.)

I give "Sonic Heroes" 3.5 stars with the GC and 3 stars with the PS2.

Having played Sonic since the Sega Genesis, I had looked forward (with some hesitation) to "Sonic Heroes". Its a decent game, to be sure, however there are issues that I would like to have seen resolved since the Dreamcast (and GC) "Sonic Adventures".

The main issue being the camera control! The camera control has only been improved slightly since the "Adventures" and still has the player performing blind jumps in many situations.

Overall, if you are a Sonic fan, you'll probably find enjoyment out of this game -- as I do. Implimenting three characters in gameplay, switching on the fly, taking advantage of their individual strengths, was an excellent model that Sega put together. I really like the gameplay.

Its just unfortunate that the game wasn't "polished". Fixing the camera should have been the first priority.

If you are a Sonic fan, again you'll probably get enjoyment. If not, then you'd definetly want to give this a rental before purchasing.

Sonic starts his PS2 carrier and is great.

This game is so awesome. There are five teams to play. 2 of them are fun: Team Sonic because of the high speed gameplay and that and Team Chaotix because of the excellent mission thing. 2 of the teams suck: Team Dark because of the frustrating characters and Team Rose because it' s waaaaaaaaay too easy. Then there is Team Metal Sonic that is extremely hard to unlock. I haven' t even got it. Here is a description of the characters : Sonic is much the same, strong willed, speedy, very little changed and his voice is great. Tails is this sometimes smart and sometimes dumb kid and his voice is horrible. Knuckles just what you expect him to be, well almost... his voice is some of the best in the game and you have to used him A LOT in the game. Shadow is sooooooooooooo annoying that after 2 seconds of stage one you start to hate him. And he is supposed to be the leader of the team. For gods sake, he can' t even give orders like Sonic, Vector or even Big and Knuckles. I don' t want to talk about that character disaster called Rouge The Bat. She is sooooooooooooo annoying that you want to erease Team Dark out of the game. Plus her voice is sometimes a true terror. Omega is just a annoying piece of scrap. His stupid robotic voice is so... well stupid. Amy is never a bad thing. She' s out for Sonic like usual and is very entertaining. Her voice is also great. Cream sucks. Cheese sucks. Cream' s voice sucks TOO MUCH!!! Her voice is soooooooooooooooooo high pitched it can ruin your ears. Big is boring. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaally boring. His voice is sooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooww and sooooo booooooooooooring you could fall asleep. Espio is okay, I guess. His voice starts off well but grows annoying. Vector is great. He got some english accent but who cares? He can give orders unlike Shadow. Charmy is annoying. REALLY ANNOYING!!! His voice is about as high pitchet as Cream' s voice. Eggman is a jerk like usual. Metal Sonic is... okay, I guess. The graphics are really great but all of the characters except for Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Amy, Cream, Big, Eggman and The Chaotix look rubbish in the CG movies. Sonic looks like he was running in the desert and slipped then lying with his face down in the hot sand for hours. Rouge looks like her Sonic Adventure2: Battle self except with worse sence of fashion and a bit uglyer. Omega looks just like he does in the in-game movies and in the gameplay which is a bad thing because he is ugly. Metal Sonic has got a new character design that is sligthly worse. Niw for the good things: Tails is always cute in the CG cutscenes. Such a shame for his voice. Knuckles is ALWAYS good looking unlike Sonic and Rouge. Shadow looks so realistic with a good voice. Amy is great, Cream looks okay, Big looks fine and Team Chaotix looks always great. Eggman is really ugly always but he is detailed greatly and that in the CG cutscenes. The gameplay is super fast and furious with a lot of special abilities such as: Properller Hammer, Flying Kick, Shruniken Star attack, gliding, Thunder Shoot, Flight Ascend and more. This game is extremly hard if you are gonna complete it 100%. The Chaos Emeralds escape from you which is not easy because they go faster then you, even while playing as Team Sonic with Sonic as the leader. So, the last words will be: BUY IT BECAUSE IT' S GREAT!!!!!!!!

Sonic Heroes- Good

Sonic Heroes is an action/adventure game that, in my opinion, is underrated. It might not be as fun as, say, Mario, but it still shouldn't be shot down like I see in the other reviews.

In Sonic Heroes, "Eggman" (the villain) plots for world domination (a bit cliched, but it works). You choose one of four teams to defeat him- Sonic, Dark, Rose, and Chaotix. Not many games let you do that. When you're playing the game, you have "formations". You can be in speed formation, power formation, and flying formation. It takes a little while to get used to, but it's worth it! This lets you do many more things than in a regular action game where "kick" and "punch" are the only things you can do. The bad guys are well-made. It's satisfying to take them out.

The music in Sonic isn't too bad. I can tolerate it. The voice-overs aren't so good (especially Tails- the yellow flying kid). The voiceovers don't make it a bad game though. You can just mute the TV!

The 2 Player Mode isn't so good. You race... I wish you could fight in this game. Oh well!

The graphics in this game are mediocre. (I hear the Gamecube version is better) I've definitely seen better graphics. But that's not what a game is all about. Now is it? I can't compare this game to all the other Sonic games out there. I haven't played many of them, so it would be impossible to compare. I guess the reason why I gave this game such a good score is because I wasn't expecting much. I've heard it takes a lot for a 2D game to become 3D. It isn't easy. I thought they did a fine job.

Sonic Goes Multi Platform!!

This title marks Sonic's first launch on more than one platform...three to be exact. Finally a Sonic title is available on, not only Game Cube, but PlayStation 2 and XBox as well. The Story: Dr. Eggman has devised a new plan to take over the world, a newly reincarnated, and upgrated, Metal Sonic. That's right, Sonic's old rival from Sonic CD is back and ready for all new mayhem. It will take more than one hero to foil Eggman this time, It'll take twelve. But when Metal Sonic gets enough power to change into the all mighty Metal Overlord, will Sonic and his friends be enough to stop him? Heroes features a uniqe team based gameplay which includes four teams of three including: Team Sonic (Sonic, Tails and Knuckles), Team Rose (Amy, Big and new comers Cream and Cheese), Team Chaotix (Vector, Espio and Charmy), and Team Dark (Shadow, Rouge and new comer E-123 OMEGA). To add to the fun, each team has their own themed challenge i.e. Rose is easy, Sonic is medium, Dark is Hard and Chaotix is mission based. Also each member has their own affiliation: speed, flight and power. The game will tell you where you will need to use each character's uniqe skills. Overall, it's a bit challenging for a Sonic title, but it's worth checking out.

I think it is fun and exciting. It's the hardest of the sonic games I've played. I think it's very cool that you can control three characters at once. I like the difference in difficulty as you change levels, and before you play you get a choice of four different groups of three characters.

I'M SPEECHLESS!

Pros:
Good graphics, tollerable music,kinda cool cities and all sonic characters are pretty cool looking.

Cons:
The most horrable voiceovers ever! Tails sounds like some idiot nerd with bad asma, that bee guy on the choutix team is really annoying and all of the guys on the rose team sound like some kind of bad spinoff of barney.
The levels get annoying and you will find yourself going in circles.
They have three different formations which are annoying to change from when you need to play through the levels.
They also have teams and they are all about the same except that there are some characters with horrible voiceovers on certan teams and they are always saying the same thing over and over again.
Overall this game is very annoying and not very fun, so even if you muted the tv this game would still suck.

It's okay.

Hi. I'm Aaron Warner. My brother got this game. He freaked when he first got to try it. Of course, he loves Team Dark. Shadow was a nice add-on, but him going with someone seems strange. Not only that, but Team Rose can't be fair. If you count Big's frog, Cheese, and Cheese's twin, you get 6 team members. Team Sonic's problem is the same as Team Dark's: why would Sonic travel with Tails and Knuckles. Or, as a matter of fact, why would Knuckles work with Sonic. Team Chaotix is a little like Knuckles' levels in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle at some points. Each team has a problem. But the levels are awesome. A stage select menu would be nice. The team manuver is cool. But, using one button to change characters (I use Circle) would be nice. The moves are cool. To little bosses though. And the fact that the move for each team change (for example: when you press Square while jumping with Team Rose while big is the leader, he body-slams, instead of throwing Amy and Cream like the other teams). And finally, the fact that you have to unlock the battle and other special features (like Sonic Advance 2, which isn't my favorite Sonic game either) stinks. But, it's still very well constructed, game-wise and intermission-wise, and the characters are very cool. It doesn't beat any Crash Bandicoot things (nothing ever will), but it's still pretty cool.

How many ways are there to say this is the best sonic game ever? Come on i know the magazines rate it around two star but you wanna belive them or a palayer (yea i know you probly dont know me)but let me give you a summary there are four teams Team Rose Amy the speedster,Cream the flyer, and Big the power house for an easy mode.Then there is Team Sonic Sonic the speedster, Tails the flyer, and Knuckles the power house, for a medium gameplay. Then Team Dark Shadow the speedster, Rouge the flyer, and Omega the powerhou for a hard gameplay.Then there is team Chaotix with Espaio the speedster, Charmy the flyer, Vector the powerhouse for a hunting for things gameplay. Each team is different then the other making it even for fun my only comlaint is that they all have levels in the same setting.(each one has a slight different level)
