But for each brave step forward, it takes a few back. Racing full speed through stages that take 10 or more minutes to complete while constantly switching characters for the most mundane of tasks becomes exhausting. It's even worse when you consider that you have to play through the same stages four times once with each team to get the real ending. I don't have the patience for it, especially when the terrible camera and hit-or-miss lock-on attacks that leave you plunging to your doom and spelled trouble in the last two Sonics still haven't been adequately addressed.
Once at the forefront of platforming action, the Sonic series hasn't aged well. And while Heroes is better in some respects than the last two, it still leaves me disappointed. For a character as recognizable and symbolic as Sonic the Hedgehog, you'd think Sega would spend a little more time polishing each of his adventures before shipping them to stores.
Sadly, this is not the case. As with the previous two 3D Sonic outings, Sonic Heroes is a solid platformer that could've been a lot better if the developers had spent more time balancing the levels and tweaking the unbelievably frustrating camera. The team-based gameplay is interesting enough, but instead of having four separate teams, three of which play virtually identically, Sega should've just stuck with Team Sonic and focused on making it a more cohesive, enjoyable experience.
The one team that does play differently--the exploration-based Team Chaotix--isn't even fun, as Heroes' stages were clearly designed for speed, not adventuring. That said, it is nice to have a Sonic game with a bit of real depth to it.
The venerable Sonic franchise is back, this time with a team approach to a 3D adventure world. This certainly isn't the first time that Sega has tried to convert the excellent 2D speed scroller into a 3D game, but it is the first time they've done it right.
Instead of muddying the waters with the bevy of Sonic-related characters that seem to multiply like bunnies in each game ' Sega divided up the characters into teams of three. Although the teams each have a unique look, they mostly play the same and have to take on the same challenges which in this game means once more defeating Dr.
Eggman and taking on a Mystery Monster. What makes this game work so much better than previous 3D Sonic games is that Sega has weeded out all of the clutter and concentrated on what made Sonic such a great game to play in the first place ' speed. That doesn't mean you will zoom through each level at blurring speeds, but you will be doing a lot of dizzying loops, corkscrews and ricocheting bounces.
To make the three characters manageable you will only have control of one at a time. You can use the Y and X buttons to switch between which one is in the lead, and under your control, on the fly. This works quite well because the level has been designed in sections where you will lean heavily on a particular character's particular skills.
For instance, there are places where you have to fly up giant blocks using Tails abilities or take out flying creatures using his attacks. Other sections require Sonic's speed or Knuckles brute force to knock down walls. You can also use the characters in unison to deliver particularly powerful attacks. The heroes are divided into teams of three. Depending on which group the player takes with him on adventures, there will be a different set of characters:.
Sonic's team - the blue hedgehog himself, Tails the fox and Knuckles the echidna; the faction of Darkness - Shadow the hedgehog, Rouge the bat and the E Omega robot; Roe's team - the hedgehog Amy Rose, the rabbit Krim with her pet Cheese and the cat Big; the Chaotix group - the chameleon Espio, the Charmi the bee and the crocodile Vector. Each group of the hero is represented by a participant with different abilities, divided into three types: high-speed, flying and power.
Fast heroes can travel long distances and create whirlwinds, flying heroes help the team climb to the upper levels, and strong men fight in open combat and destroy walls. Each of the characters has their own unique abilities, such as invisibility, teleportation, or climbing walls.
All levels are divided into three acts, where at the end of each a boss fight awaits. Sonic Heroes is represented by 7 different zones: seaside, futuristic city, canyon, rainforest, haunted castle and Dr. Eggman's air battleships. When fighting robots, you need to collect rings at locations. Every 10 rings I grant one life. Lame 0 point. I mounted the second disk as instructed by the installer and the program recognized it as a pirated copy and refused to install.
