Amazon.co.uk Review
Just as some actors never made the jump from the silent screen to talkies, so too Sonic the Hedgehog has never really seemed at home in 3-D. Sonic Heroes, though, is the best attempt yet to simulate the fast, uncomplicated thrills of the 2-D Mega Drive days on this generation's shiny new consoles.
Sonic Heroes is basically the action segments from Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 stripped of all the insanely dull pseudo RPG elements but unfortunately still containing far too much storyline and the largest and least interesting host of secondary characters ever seen in gaming. Sonic Heroes also inherits many of the older titles' camera and control problems, although here they are now occasional rather than constant irritations.
All this may seem as if it's painting a rather poor picture of the game, but despite all its problems Sonic Heroes is actually a lot of fun. Its main gimmick is that you actually control three characters at a time, with each one having a special ability of either speed, flight or the ability to smash through blocks. Thankfully this doesn't overcomplicate the controls and instead adds a modicum of depth to the otherwise non-stop running-'n'-jumping action.
You still occasionally get the feeling that the game is trying too hard to fit a round peg in a square hole, but on balance more of it works than doesn't, and it's certainly the best Sonic title since the Mega Drive era. --David Jenkins
Product Description
In Sonic Heroes Sega's legendary mascot Sonic the Hedgehog makes his historic multi-platform debut. He embarks on his biggest adventure ever at his trademark blazing speed and enjoys a new gameplay twist. Sonic and his friends have evolved, adopting a configuration feature that lets gamers control three playable characters simultaneously: Sonic's speed, Knuckles' power and Tails' ability to fly are used to conquer massive worlds. This team-based game play marks the next evolution in Sonic's gaming career, taking platform gaming to a completely new level.
Using the three formations and the powerful moves that each team member has, Sonic and his friends combine forces to battle the ultimate evil: play as one of four teams for a total of 12 playable characters--Team Sonic, Team Dark, Team Rose or Team Chaotix, each with their signature moves and story line. Each team boasts multiple specialised stages with unique missions and CG movies driving each team story forward. You can experiment with team formations to learn the best way to defeat enemies, solve puzzles and navigate massive environments. Each stage contains multiple paths and missions for maximum replayability.

Fun:
Bought on offer at Asda. Never thought about buying it since last year, though im certainly glad that i bought it now! I am not a game collector as i usually get bored of them really quickly. However this, it's just amazing! I put it on and action started, a fun action/adventure game, fun not just for sonic fans. I loved the older sonic games, but this is just above average! Buy this, i guarantee you will love it!

Sonic the Hedgehog is back, and now, he's on PS2 and much more realistic and exciting than way back in the day. Sonic Heroes is for any Sonic fan who loves flitting at high speed, and destroying enemies, I seem so young and youthful talking about a kiddies game, but Sonic the Hedgehog, Knuckles and Tails are back and they're going to be around for a long time to come.
The truth that Sonic Heroes so cool and spellbounding is that the makers of this, SEGA, have crafted and concocted this very well, the gameplay is unstoppable and furious, the graphics are fantastic and very real (and when i say real, I mean TOTALLY REAL!). You can still do the things that you could've done on your MegaDrive. Here are some of the main features of what you can try or in other words, DO.
- Manoeuvre a team of 3 Sonic characters through massive levels to overcome the evil Dr. Robotnik (I like destroying evil guys like Dr. Robotnik).
- Choose from 4 teams with a total of 12 Sonic characters (Team Sonic is my favourite, it's the only team I dare try playing as, Team Dark, Team Rose and Team Chaotix).
-Each character has it's own strengths and weaknesses (Tails is the only one who can fly, that all I know! Knuckles and Sonic the Hedgehog are likely but different in their limitations and appearances).
-Control 3 characters at once for a whole gaming experience (Now that's something I have not done before, now that's total UNEXPERIENCED).
For 1 to 2 players (Means you can play 2 players if you have 2 controllers).
Sonic the Hedgehog has made a profound influence on video gamers with his historic multi-platform debut. This is such a great adventure and must be owned by all Sonic fans, and (possibly) R&C fans, they are similar and alike. BUY THIS GAME NOW, ONLY THE BEST-SELLING GAMES MAKE IT TOWARDS PLATINUM!

Fun:
Bought this game for my 4 year-old Brother who recently decided that he wanted my PS2. After it lying dormant on my shelf for a few years, I gave-in. I set about purchasing some games for him, and I must say that Sonic Heroes brought back a lot of memories of my Sega and the 1990's. It's a great game and a lot of fun, it's easy to play and to follow too and at the end of the day - it's Sonic! So you've got to love it!

Sonic Heroes on PS2
Bought this for my sons as they used to have it on XBOX and loved it, sadly the XBOX died and as they all have PS2's in their rooms this was an ideal replacement.
