    Sonic Heroes!

    Sonic Heroes

    Reason I'm posting this: I am posting this review, because this is a game, that I am very fond of. I want someone from this forum to go to a Video Game Store, and see this game on the counter for the GameCube and think: Hey, I read a review about this the other day. That guy Mario or something said this was a great game. I think i'll try it!

    Gameplay: 9.0/10

    I'll start out with the Gameplay with in this game. This game is a Sonic game so if you have ever played a Sonic game you would know this game would involve speeding trhough a stage very fast and dodging or destroying robots accross the stage. However, this time a new spin to this game was introduced. The fact that there is 3 people at a time, instead of 1. Now you can control a whole team instead of one character. This means that the levels will be more contrasting than just a straight speedway with wacky turns and stunts, but now it has multiple paths to follow. You can go above the ground with your flying character like Tails, Charmy, Cream, and Rouge. That is just the Flying aspect of the game, there is also the Power aspect which involoves pulverizing enemies, or smashing through walls. Choosing this path is good for collecting rings in rows also. This aspect has 4 characters also: Knuckles, Vector, Big, and Omega. And like always you can blast through the levels with amazing speeds as Sonic, Amy, Shadow, and Espio. The only downside to the gameplay is that Once you beat the game, it's more boring to go through the levels again and again.

    Versus Mode: 10/10

    Next upon the list is the Versus mode. When you first get the game the only Versus mode games you start out with is Slow Action Race. This doesn't mean that you will move slow, but it means that it won't be as long of a level, and very easy to survive in. And as you collect more Emblems, you collect more games to play in versus. This may be hard when you get stuck on a certain stage, but once you have each team mastered, getting emblems will be a breeze.

    List of Versus Mode Challenges:
    1. Slow Action Race 0 emblems
    2. Battle 20 emblems
    3. Special Stage 40 emblems
    4. Coin Race 60 emblems
    5. Bobsled Race 80 emblems
    6. Steady Action Race 100 emblems
    7. Speedy Action Race 120 emblems

    Challenge Mode: 8.0/10

    Challenge mode isn't much of anything if you collect all of the emeralds on your first try. But there is a 2nd mission on each of the stages, so you can collect emblems there.
    But if you missed a few emeralds like me(I missed about 4 :P), then go back here to get them.

    Sound: 10/10

    To me the sound is great! I love the catchy sounds that you always get in a Sonic the Hedgehog game! The sound gets a 10/10 from me!

    Graphics: 10/10

    I love the graphics of this game! They are so mcuh better than Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Sonic Adventure DX! They finally got the voice acting and mouth movements down right! The voices are pretty cool, but they made Tails sound so much younger.

    Bonus Features: 9.0/10

    The only bonus stuff that I know of, is the Audio Room and the GC Theater. As the name applys the Audio Room is the room with all the sounds/music in the game. To unlock more music beat the levels, and complete each team. As for the GC Theater it is all the movies that you see. At first you only have the Opening Theme, but that's pretty good! The others you collect by completing a team and beating final chaos.

    Pick Up rate: 9.0/10

    The game was pretty easy to pick up on, but there we still challenges that might take forever to complete(Team Dark Boss before the final boss). Each team has it's own easy to complete rate in my opinion. For example: If this was the first Sonic game that you've ever played, I suggest to use Team Rose at first, once you beat the game with that team, you can start on Team Sonic or Team Chaotix, because those are the next in the the difficiulty range. And finally Team Dark. This team wasn't hard, except for the battles at the Haunted House and the Casino. It was extremely challenging because of all those robots everywhere. But if you mastered their team Attack you could do it easily.

    My Overall Rating: 9.2(8571428571 = the other part with a calculator :P)
