Product Description: Sonic Heroes
Team Sonic consists of Tails, Knuckles, and the Blue Blur himself, while Team Dark is represented by Shadow, Omega, and Rouge. Team Rose features Amy Rose, Big the Cat, and Cream, with Espio the Chameleon, Vector the Crocodile, and Charmy the Bee rounding out Team Chaotix. Each character has a customized special attack and is a specialist at one of three team formations: speed, power, and flight. Players routinely switch between the characters on their team to complete objectives and to help advance through the game's 14 levels. The ultimate goal, as shocking as it may sound, is to find and confront Dr. Eggman, who has resurrected and made enhancements to Metal Sonic.
Each level is filled with a variety of opportunities to take advantage of each character's distinctive traits, whether it's Amy's hammer swing or Omega's machine gun. Using the speed formation allows players to briskly propel the trio across corkscrew loops or the fastest routes through levels, while the power formation is best for confronting enemies or for revealing hidden areas by smashing obstacles. The flight formation takes the action into the air to reach new areas or to attack flying creatures by tossing the other two characters like projectiles.
To encourage repeat visits, the game offers slightly different variations of the 14 levels depending on which team is selected. There are also new objectives, cut-scenes, and endings specific to each team, not to mention a special bonus awarded to players who complete the game with all four squads. In addition to the single-player experience,

Cons: Hard and no chao garden in it
I first brought this game back in january and frankly sonic heroes wasnt like i thought it would be ' and it took me 6 months to complete the game ' it was extreamly hard for me ' june 26 was when i beat metal overlord aka metal sonic ' i was proud of myself that i did
But if you love challanging hard levels then this is the game for you
But if you love the previous easy style sonic games then you should check out the adventure series ...

Sonic Heroes - GameCube
Which brings us to the game's the multiplayer, but once again, the lack of gameplay depth sucks the battery life out of these robos. Up to four can play at once in kill-or-be-killed brawls, which gets pretty hectic, but is little more than a party diversion. more...

Pros: fun
Cons: a bit difficult
I really like this game because it is a really fun game that can at times be frustrating because your character can't do everything you hoped it could. Such as:Sonic can't go as fast as you would think he would, Tails can't fly forever, and Knuckles can't glide. However what is cool is that as Shadow(a real badass)you can stop time so you can just run through the level. I love the part where giant things just chase you through levels, Ijust wish there were more.Oh, and in case team sonic reads this...the casino world wasn't one of your best ideas.Besides that it is a game where you choose one of four teams:team sonic(sonic,tails,and knuckles),team dark(shadow,rouge,and omega), team chaotix(espio,vector,and charmy),and team rose(amy,cream,and big the cat).Overall if you are a real sonic fan buy this.
