Sonic Heroes features an interesting premise - Being able to control a group of 3 Sonic characters at the same time makes the cool action much more robust. You get a selection of 4 teams: Team Sonic (Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles -- Medium difficulty), Team Dark (Shadow, Rouge, Omega -- Harder difficulty), Team Rose (Amy, Cream, and.....Big -- Easy), and Team Chaotix (Vector, Charmy, Espio -- A unique take on the gameplay, as it offers missions rather than the usual reach-the-end goal).
Each team would have formations that fit each of the 3 characters. There's speed, flying, and power. Whenever there's a certain obstacle in the way, the game would tell which formation to use (Meaning you must switch to the character of that formation). I guess it's nice for them to just tell us. After all, it provides a more straightfoward take on the 3D Sonics, not really slowing us down when it comes to having to know what to do (Except for Team Rose when playing their tutorial level...).
Speaking of straightfoward, like I said, the game is all about reaching the end of each level, and when beating that level, you go to the next right away. No map, no talking to people, but just simple and to the point. While there are 3D masterpieces that go by that stuff (Mario 64, anyone? With the castle lobby? And certain Toads you talk to give you Stars?), Sonic Heroes proves that there are some cases where they're not needed. The gameplay itself is as perfect as any Genesis or Sonic Adventure-style Sonic game, except, of course, you've got 3 characters to toy with. Oh, yes, and the level design is top-notch.
I never actually realized how aged the game feels compared to the more recent Sonic games. The voices are old, the cutscenes also show their age, and the storyline feels weak. Actually, it's quite interesting to see where Sega was going early on in Sonic's lifetime, so I guess it would be fun to notice the differences yourself. The story is still weak, though.
Other than the story, the only bad thing about this game is the voice acting. It reeeallly sucks (Although Big's voice = Comedy gold. I keep laughing whenever he says something). Tails sounds like a girl (Of course, this would go on until Sonic Colors), One of Amy's screams is ear-bleeding (I turned down the volume during Team Sonic's battle with Team Rose), and there are sayings that keep being repeated. But personally, I think this is somewhat of a minor issue, as everything else is terrific. If you can get past the voice acting like I did, then you're in for a good time.
The levels are very long, and once you run out of lives, you’ve got to start the whole thing over. That’s all well and fine, except the reason you run out of lives is inexcusable. Your characters move so fast, that it feels unnatural, especially when half the time they don’t go in the direction you want them to. And since you move so fast even solid ground feels slippery like walking on ice. Not the best feel to have for a platformer.
And grind rails are atrocious too, specifically when you’re forced to jump from one to another. This has a fifty-fifty shot of working. You’ll either hop to the next like you’re supposed to, or just jump completely passed it.
And that’s pretty much what kept killing me over and over. I gave it up as a bad job halfway through the first campaign (there are 4 different campaigns in total)
