The frame-rate is smooth and the environments far nicely detailed, but, as was the case in previous GBA NFS incarnations, it's hard to discern the legitimate path from the dead ends. [Jan 2005, p.140]- Nintendo Power

As a loyal devotee of the series, I couldn't be more excited about Sonic Heroes's focus on high-speed action. I loved the "Sonic Adventure" games, but this is Sega's hedgehog at his finest. [Mar 2004, p.117]- Nintendo Power
