    A great game and I think it is safe to say that the long wait for a new Sonic game is finally over, and it was well worth the wait!

    The control elements are mixed and players may find themselves trying to move the game along through stabbing at the wrong keys. However, get past that and you will find a game that moves along nicely, but won’t offer anything new or markedly different.

    Long stretches of each stage can be severely frustrating and annoying, but when they're not, it's still pretty fun -- and getting "in the zone" to complete an especially hard part in one try is always satisfying.

    bad. fun at first but then the controls mess it up. sonic suddenly sprints. but a good idea. having it so you can play as three different characters at one time, pretty sweet. its just how they do it. it is perfect for a remake.… Expand

    It may be a blast for children under the age of 10, but for experienced gamers, Sonic Heroes is just a fast, but overly gimmicky piece of junk. Pros: Rich, colorful visuals; variety of characters with special abilities; fantastic level design. Cons: "Trial-and-error" gameplay; atrocious controls; kiddie voice acting.… Expand
