how can you all diss this game? it's one of the best of * a lot* of sonic games i've played. the stages are fun, and the team thing works fine. the one thing i don't get is...
*SPOILER*
how can shadow be a robot or clone or watever the heck they say he is? i want my old shadow back :(. oh well, i'm guessing he's the real thing..hoping.
*SPOILER END*
aside from that, there's great gameplay, stages, and everything else. i'm also glad that they brought the Chaotix back
Pros:
great gameplay
great graphics
fun overall
good storylines
espio and shadow
speed!
cons:
voice acting
some frustrating moments
i can't figure out how to control the cannon in the chaotix metropolis level.
i hate team rose
ahh. the voice acting. let me rant for a second
Sonic:good, sounds like sonic
Tails: Oh gosh, i can;t stand his voice! grow up Tails!you should be at least 15 by now!HE SHOULDNT SOUND LIKE HE HAS ASTHMA
Knuckles:good, fits his character well
Shadow:good, kinda deeper and more mature than last time. at least he hasn't got that LOOK AT ME I'M BAD quiteish thing going on
Rogue: better.much better
Omega: it makes me want to smash things...i know he's a robot...but geez...
Amy: ok, i guess
Cream:waaaaay to high
Big:no comment
Espio:nice, except when he does that army-general thing. he's sixteen. geez.
Vector:i don't really pay attention to his voice. i'm paying more attention to him throwing up his friends *shudder*
Charmy: BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
aside from the lack of being able to change their voices to japanese, this game is overall fun and original, and i will beat it....someday. until some new fantastic sonic game shows up, this will be my second favorite (it now goes SA2B, SH, and SA1 is tied for second.
Blast Through With Sonic Speed!

Remember old Sonic on the Megadrive? How it was all about FUN and SPEED, and not the exploration and questing that the latter Dreamcast sequels seemed to have in abundance?
Well, Kids, Sonic is back and better than ever and now, thanks to some extremely brave and very, very well-executed gameplay changes, regains his foothold as the best platform hero in the world, bar none :-)
Granted, it feels all wrong playing Sonic with a PS 2 pad, but I know I speak for us all when I say I'd rather have Sega Games this way than not at all.
Sonic Heroes consists of all the usual levels - Seaside Hill Zone, Casino Nite Zone, etc., but it's in the teamwork where this game excels. Now, instead of just playing as one Hedgehog or one Echidna or one Bat or whatever, you have to employ teamwork across a cast of three characters per level in order to beat the game. There are 4 teams, so 12 playable characters in all - and range from Staples like Team Sonic (Sonic, Knuckles and Tails) to past characters (Rose the Bat, Big the Cat and Espiosa the... purple thing) to downright oddball characters (Charmy the Bee, for instance). On each team, one character is good for speed, one for strength and one for flying, and you do need to make good use of each character to beat the level you're currently playing. Also, the teams are graded in terms of difficulty, so beginners can start with Team Rose and work their way up, frustration-free.
This adds a huge sense of fun to the game, as well as keeping the Sonic concept fresh and exciting: hedgehog-runs-along-flat-plane is dull-dull-dull, but for the speed freaks the bonus levels are all about speed, and highly reminiscent of the Bonus Stages from Sonic 2. Similarly excellent is the presentation, as one would expect from a Sega game - there are a wealth of options to be unlocked, like new modes of play, the fabulous CG movies, different voices for the characters etc. - all of which makes for an excellent gaming experience.
Thoroughly recommended, this is another feather in Sega's cap and one of my personal favourite Sonic games to date. Enjoy!
best game n the world

Sonic Heroes will be EXTREMELY AWESOME!!!!!!!! I haven't played it yet, but I know it will be great, and hopefully the bad camera views from the Adventure series will be vanished.
When I say A blast from the past, I mean that Sonic Heroes is one of his old games, blown up into 3D, (New stages, of course...)
I can't think of anything else to put! Just get Sonic Heroes when it comes out cuz IT'TL ROCK!
Trust me

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!!!

When I first got this game, (my cousins bought that for my birthday) I put it in my PS2 and play it. It's like you gather three of your friends and save the world yadayadayada...
Of course I like Shadow for some reason. He's fast.
And one fact. Shadow has rocket boosters, so he runs like he's roller skating.
The music goes great especially its main theme. Some of the songs I make a MIDI file of it. I'm already done with Rail Canyon.
About these AIs. Their good. Especially they were using Team Sonic (after Lost Jungle Zone). Good AI. Their good (seriously).
The graphics were great. Word on the street says that voiceovers were poor.
I really like Shadow's voice in Japanese and English (seriously).
Don't question me about the 6th Paragraph ok?
The Special Stages were challenging especially getting the chaos emerald. It's fun to play it with 2player. The First one was easy you just had collect links and race to the finish line. It was just the same thing compared to the other SEGA games which involves Sonic.
Team Chaotix is not really my style. Team Dark is really my style because sometimes, I have a destructive mind.
Metal Sonic and Hyper Shadow are one of these guys you will face in the stages after Egg Emperor and Final Fortress.
Metal Sonic and Hyper Shadow are playable in Shadow the Hedgehog, and I still don't know if you can play as them in this game.
