    The action is bewildering and frenetic, the challenge is minimal and the usual camera problems persist, but this is still an exuberantly entertaining game.

    The only way that the game stands apart on the PC is the higher resolution for graphics. A gamepad is a necessity for the full experience but the presentation of the game suffers somewhat due to the complete lack of an instruction manual.

    A step in the right direction, adding a nice teamwork element to the game. However, it is ultimately mediocre at best, given its fair share of problems, including bad camera issues and overly simplistic gameplay.

    Ridiculously fast, under-developed and frustrating to control. [Christmas 2004, p.119]

    Sonic Heroes mediocre. That's all I can say other than it's pretty bad. The models look pretty ugly and unappealing. The gameplay is differentSonic Heroes mediocre. That's all I can say other than it's pretty bad. The models look pretty ugly and unappealing. The gameplay is different in a bad way. For me, Sonic (and others) is slippery as hell, Tails (and others) can't do anything but fly (can't even walk) and Knuckles (and others) is just punching through stuff. The only good thing about the game is the story, Sonic games always do well with their storytelling, but that's really the only good thing about the game.… Full Review »
