Sonic Heroes (PS2)
|
|
|
| Description:
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

Sonic heroes is a really good game and i reckon that they definetly accomplished turning it into a 3D game!
This alot of fun and isn't short which is really good. There are some new things about it that you cannot do on the 2d ones. You can change character in the middle of the game and there are 4 teams to choose from depending on what team you choose you'll get a different story made for each team! 10 out of 10!
Highly reccommended!!!!!! |

Sonic Heroes is probably the worst Sonic game in history- it is manic and it is rubbish- buy a decent sonic game not this rubbish. |

Join Sonic as he does things. If you remember the old and addictive ones...there actually free on the internet and her name is Miss Grokee.
But anyway this game involves you controlling three people in one team and each has their own story mode even though the levels are EXACTLY the same. The teams are: Team Sonic (Yay!), Team Shadow (Yay!), Team Rose (What are you doing?) and Team Chaotix (Tee hee cheese). Each person in your team has a specific speciality which are Speed, Flying, and Power.
Not as addictve as the older ones but worth a try.

Sonic's untimely demise!

This game is just too poor for words. Why oh why did i let myself buy this knowing that most original classic platform games churned into 3D animation never work but to make money for their cash hungry makers! The original sonic games on the early 16 bit consoles were absolute classics and should have been left that way. This game destroys the game play massively in replacement for the fancier graphics the newer consoles offer. Everything about it is worse - who wants decent graphics when you can't control the character or even see it at all! This game did nothing but anger me and is one to be avoided if you don't want to see something so good turn just plain ugly! |

The game has excellent graphics and it is very fun, especially when you are racing through each imaginative level.
You don't just play Sonic, Knuckles and tails. You can choose between four teams which each start with it's own individual storyline. The controls are a little complicated atfirst but once they're easy to get a hang of.
Here's the bad points:when you slip up one a level, you go quite a way back and you loose some of the overall level points, also the game is very fast in parts. |
