Editorial Review: 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 Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Sonic heroesThis game has dated graphics, and there isn't much freedom. It may be fast but that isn't a good thing as it is basaically the game controlling itself, you would be better off watching a film. Storyline? There is'nt one! And all levels are as boring and frustrating as hell, don't waste money on this, it is'nt worth it. Rating:  - not worth it.I haven't actually bought the game, and in some ways I'm glad, it's a half-decent effort but to me it wasn't worth the download (tut tut), which took me 12 hours to do with a broadband connection. This features all the usual characters however you have to switch between one and the other to do various tasks which are needed to complete the frankly labyrinth styled levels. My Xbox doesn't quite look like other Xboxers and this game has given me the pleasure of testing my chipped Xbox to see what results I could got, the game ran but my disappointment at the quality of this game made me unsolder the xbox chip and put the Xbox parts back together and neatly assemble them into the bin. PS don't download this game, it's not worth it. Rating:  - half genius half flawedafter sonic adventure 1 and 2 on dreamcast and later nintendo gamecube sonic makes his multi-platform debut in a all new 3d adventure.This time round the rules have changed and in order to compleate zones you will need to work in a team of 3.One will be fast one will be powerfull and the other will have flying abilitys(sonic,knuckles and tales)and individual skills must be used to progress in the level for instance there might be a high ledge so you swap your charicter to tales and fly the team up to the ledge. The level design is quite good,very large bright levels that last for at least 10 mineuts each will keep you accupied and the graphics are great this is defently the best looking sonic game ever and the music(although cheesy)is good.so ...

The gameplay is now boring and predictable instead of fun and addictive. The way the controls are lead out makes it difficult for a child to play (who are the ONLY market for this game) All in all this game has rubbish graphics, slow gameplay and TOO MANY LEVELS! Rating: - The Best 3D Sonic GameThe 'Blue Blur' is back! But he is not alone this time! All of your favourite Sonic characters are back in one of his most revelutionary title ever! I am a great Sonic fan and have waited for this title for a long time (after playing Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 who would'nt). Dr. Eggman is up to his old tricks again as he sends a message to the 'Sonic Heroes' (which cnsists of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles) challenging them to save the world once again (will he ever learn!). So ,as usual, Sonic accepts his invitation (whilst in a brilliant CG graphical scene by the way) and speeds off into the distance. This is where the player comes in, you can control all of the three characters to make use of their unique abilities, Sonic=Speed (Line up straight behind ... Read More: |
