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

For the beginners!!

Sonic Beginners please would you start here, the second the game loads you have 4 teams to choose from Team Sonic(Action Based) Team Dark(Action but harder based) Team Rose(BEGINNERS START HERE) Team Chaotix(Mission Based) Ok, i'm not dissing this sonic game(I used to be the biggest sonic fan ever) Not much now! but i still play his games of course.
The Music in this game is awsome ROCK! ROCK! ROCK!
The Graphics are Beutiful(Not the best though)
The Gameplay and the story let this game down by far, the story is incredibly crap, eggman(Sonic Villain) has built the ultimate weapon and is going to take down sonic and his friends(Boring) i mean that happend in Sonic the Hedgehog 1,2,3 and 4 and all the other 2D ones lol.
Can't we get a better story nowadays in sonic like Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Shadow the Hedgehog, DX please Sonic Team!
The Gameplay is very confusing still fun though, but switching from character to character to do different moves is confusing and sometimes it picks the one you don't want
The Controls are ok i guess, but overall the worst thing is the story, and the game is rather easy(Except Dark)
But overall this game is for Sonic Beginners, Sonic Experts will hate it, but after all these bad reviews, Experts i'm going to still recommend you, you might/might not like it.
Sonic Beginners Must BUY! Experts you decide! |

This game is ok. I like the character voice overs and the sound effects but it has dodgy graphics and crazy camera angles. When you put this together the game is a bit crap. Plus all of the storylines are weak and short and are a bit rushed. The game was a good idea but when it comes down to it, it is poor and gets boring way two quickly. There is also a very annoying opening soundtrack which is lame and takes the micky a bit. Overall the game is not one to go out and buy, if you got given it for free, by all means enjoy it, or try to! |

Can't hold a candle to the original Sega Sonic

*Sigh* Am I alone in having fond memories of the original Sega Megadrive Sonic The Hedgehog game? That game was the greatest of its genre, and Sonic was the king of the 2-dimensional platform game world. There was something so pleasing about the layout of the stages, the bright colours, and the way Sonic would look at you and start tapping his foot if you left him idle for more than a couple of seconds..... This new version is just a run-of-the mill 3-D platform. It doesn't have any of the charm of the original. It has some fancy touches like being able to choose a team of dudes but this doesn't make up for the lack of satisfying gameplay. All in all, it's disappointing. Now if they were to bring back the 2-D version.... |

Rent it, don't buy it

I love Sonic, it was the first ever game I had on my old Mega Drive and when I saw this in the shops I had to buy it. I really enjoyed the game - to start with. Then came a level not too far from the start where the camera angles were so appauling and frustrating that the game will NEVER get played again in my PS2. Funky 3D graphics are nice, if done correctly - unfortunately this game doesn't. Not only are some of the camera angles stupid, but the whole perception is wrong in places. Sonic Team if you are reading this then please go back to what you know best. I'll gladly play a new 2D Sonic game, it's not fancy graphics that I'm after, it's good gameplay. The reason I'm giving it 3 stars and not lower is because like I said I did enjoy the game at the start, and I want to enjoy it now, but I just don't. |

Sonic Heroes sega's latest attempt at 3D sonic games is by far the best the camera angles would be annoying but if you've played Sonic adventure's 1,2,Battle ot DX (dreamcast and gamecube) you'll see how much the angles have evolved and how much better they really are. this is Sega best attempt yeat at 3d returning ti the original almost as well as Sonic Adventure 2's 3D Grean Hill Zone a 3D copy of the original Sonic Games first Zone although not without falt this game can be called the Best Sonic 3D ever (especially compared to what the saturn tried to do) |
