  • Sonic Heroes was arguably the most requested game I hop into following my completion of Sonic Adventure 2. I happily obliged and I'm glad I did because when everything is clicking together, it's a really fun time... and more intense than Elden Ring.

      The Xbox and GameCube versions of Sonic Heroes are the best. The PS2 and PC versions are not so great. The PS2 version is the worst version, and sadly, more people bought the PS2 version. One mistake Sega made was not building Sonic Heroes from the PS2 ground up, as the PS2's hardware was weaker compared to the other systems. As for the PC version, Sega could have done a bit more better job with the PC port.

      I agreed. To me this game is the best adaptation from the 2D to 3D. The game is very well organized and has a lot of things to do to 100% (it even has a last challenge after doing all things). The soundtrack is amazing, the themes of the levels are the most creatives in the saga, the level design is super cool. The main problem of this game is the interaction between the player and the places. It can be a little buggy. However, the battle system is great because you have a fight character. There are places to run fast and great plataformer sequences. And it is one of the final Sonic games that let you have more than one route with a final route after playing them all, allowing you to use all characters. This is my favourite Sonic and I really love it.

    Your videos have really proven what I have thought for years. There is a Sonic game for everyone, and it's never going to be what you expect. Sonic does so many things differently from other platformers. Whether it be story, or gameplay. Sonic Team is always trying something new. Because of that we have games like Sonic Heroes, The Story Book games, And Boost games. But it's also why some people love a certain style of game over the other and feel it's the best stye for Sonic. But, I'm truly happy the series is really grabbing you and you've come across your favorite Sonic Game. I can't wait to see more from you about the series.

    This game is my favourite Sonic game and so is Shadow The Hedgehog. Maybe it's the nostalgic 2006 kid in me (when I first got my PS2 and started playing these games) but these two games really stans out to me. Sonic Adventure 2 too. To this day I wish they give these three games a remaster or make a Sonic game that hits just as good as these three. To this day no Sonic or Sonic based game after these three gives me the same feeling of euphoria.
    This game has its flaws, cheesy dialogue and questionable voice acting at times, it feels slippery as hell to play. But the game was so fun. The creativity with the levels, the different teams/characters and linking their stories. The dialogue is funny too. Vector calling Rouge a broad. It also introduced me to my fav character Espio :) I found out about the Knuckles and Chaotix stuff after playing this game. Love Chaotix.
    This game is underrated. I still play it to this day my PCXS2 emulator. :) Again, thanks for making this video. Hope you make a Shadow The Hedgehog video too.

      No lies detected. Still own and go back to Black Knight from time to time. Great story but admittedly inconsistent controls and my favorite character as well as voice portrayal of Sonic. Did end up getting good at the game after a while as well and score chasing became a lot of fun; balancing the basic attacks with homing chains and soul surge in addition to speed and platforming. Haven't reached that level in Secret Rings yet as pure motion control is a bit more tedious to master but I can still get my fair share of enjoyment from it.

    I'm enjoying these videos so much. Seeing someone who didn't like the franchise just say "fine, fuck it, I'll play your stupid Sonic game" and then realising they actually really dig it, is just one of the best things to see.
    I have a love/hate relationship with Heroes. It was one of my first Sonic games, and it was the first game I ever put over 24 hours into. But I've never gone back to fully beat it ever since, because I just don't enjoy how everybody controls in this game. I can only stomach so much of Heroes before I have to put it down.
    Personally, I don't really feel like the franchise peaks again, post SA2, until Unleashed. And Unleashed is more or less it's own self-contained story, albeit a really nice one with some fantastic presentation.
    Looking forward to your thoughts on Shadow. It's a really different vibe for a Sonic game, but its commitment to itself has aged pretty well, making it a worthwhile revisit from time to time.

    I was so worried when I saw this!
    But I am glad to hear you enjoyed Heroes!
    A lot of childhood memories in this one for me, not as good as the Adventure games imo, but easily one of my favorites. And while it's light on story, what's there is pretty good (team battles aside) *especially* Dark and Chaotix and it really shines with the pre-level interactions
    I think you'll be... interested in the story of Shadow the Hedgehog, though the game itself can be a bit much. 10 total playthroughs, just so you're prepared. And the paths are all non-canon, with the exception of the final story.
    As for other Sonic games with great stories, the final story in Shadow is decent, but the real contenders (in terms of mainline games) are Unleashed, Black Knight and to a lesser extent Secret Rings.
    Also, now that you have more of an appreciation for Shadow and his arc, I'd recommend looking at his story in 06 again. It's genuinely his best portrayal across all the games (except maybe Adventure 2)
    06's story in general is actually really good.... outside of Sonic's which is the bulk of it...
    Sonic just has very little to do with the plot and Elise is a nothing character and romance doesn't fit at all. (I made a comment on your 06 video discussing this further)
    Shadow and Silver both highlight the great side of the overarching story 06 is going for though. Shadow's story especially being fantastic
    I'm glad to hear you've had good impressions of the community!
    I think the level of tribalism and sheer number of different opinions from people who like different aspects of the series have sort of tempered the fanbase into generally being more accepting of different opinions on the games in the franchise
    Some people can be toxic, but it's a mostly unearned reputation from what I can see, and I'm glad that those few members aren't giving you too much trouble!
    Looking forward to the next video!

The Egg Fleet was easily my favorite level of the game especially at the start of the level where you can jump from Air ship to Air ship. As a kid I felt so cool doing this. Rail Canyon had it's issues with rail switching, but Jumping from a rail that was high up onto the lower sections of rails always had me a scared. I didn't know if I was going to hit the rail, or completely miss. The Egg Emperor might be my favorite boss in any sonic game. Had some great memories playing this I truly hope Sega can give us a remaster of this game, or even a remake.

I grew up in the hospital a lot, and they had a game room I visited often after surgery (Even in a body cast!), so Heroes was not my first Sonic game in truth. I first played Sonic 2 and Spinball (Maybe sonic 3?), and loved the "Adventures of Sonic" cartoon as a little kid. But it had been ages since I played a Sonic game by the time my folks rented Heroes for me. So many awesome memories! I loved the game so much we rented it like, 4 times before Mom caved and bought it. Not before getting me the Mega collection on GBA and Mega Collection + on PS2, since we couldn't find Heroes in stores yet. Heck, this game was responsible for me buying my first OST! I loved the music so much, I begged mom to get the soundtrack for me. I still have the CD too!

    Hoping you find something to like in Shadow the Hedgehog whenever you get to play it. I know it isn't a brilliant game, but I still really love certain aspects of it and wish it would get a remaster/remake/sequel (it helps that Shadow is my favourite character in the franchise).

    I think this game was my proper introduction to Sonic,
    Growing up i was a huge Mario kid, and he was my favorite video game character of all time (still is btw). So my friends tell me about this sonic character who was better than mario, and i remember playing the genesis games and genuinely thinking they were boring, then one day i played this game at my neighbors house and had so much fun that i went "oh now i see why they like sonic so much" still remembered the game fondly until i played it again and it wasn't as good as i remembered.

  • @greenplasmaclownsonic2668

    I love this game. The collision and controls can be annoying at times, but this sonic game compared to adventure 1 and 2 is just easier to take in. It's got a much simpler story, you aren't always changing characters, and there's only one gameplay style. You also don't miss much if you decide to play as one team vs another, as all teams go through the same levels, and even then, when playing as all the teams you get differences in the enemies and level design. The level themes themselves also remind me of classic sonic with how varied and creative they are.

    Gamma doesn't appear in this game, Omega was first introduced to Sonic Heroes and has been in a lot of Sonic games since, like Sonic Team Racing, a slight cameo in Forces, Dark Brotherhood, Sonic 06
    I really like Omega he's a great member to Shadow's Team
    in fact I'd say Shadow, Rouge and Omega in general makes a great team, but yeah Shadow's story is totally the best part of this game

    I've played a lot of sonic games but this one stands out to me,it's one that I've grown up with since I was a kid and all the levels for team Sonic and the soundtrack that you hear just before you get to the main menu have been my main source of happiness, I mean the other teams were good but Shadow's team came very very close to being my other favourite besides Sonics mostly because of his backstory and he's a hedgehog like Sonic,my preferences based on teams in this game were purely with Sonic and Shadow's mostly because I grew up with them unlike the rest of the teams they were still quite a lot of fun to play with but Sonic and Shadow really were and still are my favourites

    Not having a 3D collection kills me…I was a teenager by the time this came, I grew up with Sonic and I recall playing this..but once at 14. I’ve been able to replay SA1/2 countless times as an adult, even introducing my son to them. But this one just..exists on hardware 3 generations ago. I’d rather a 3D collection than owning Sonic Genises collection again. I never cared for this one, but again at 14, I wanted to play Tony Hawk underground or San Andreas or Okami. As a lifelong fan I wish I could give this one another go

    My second-favorite Sonic game of all time.
    Totally get and understand your mixed feelings about it, though. And glad that you like it overall.
    Also, I absolutely *love* that you have a favorite character from the series as well. The big four (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow) are all of my favorites in different ways, but because of Archie Comics Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series, I find it hard to settle on just one of them being my favorite overall.
    Anyways, great review. 👍🏾
    Despite me being a Sonic fan, I have not played most of his games. (Only the ones that interest me.) There are a few more rhat I have played, but of those, only one of them is one that I want to see you reflect on after experiencing. And that *Sonic Generations.* (I know you are a fan of playing games on the original hardware, but I'd seriously suggest that you play Sonic Generations on the Xbox Series X if you can. (I don't remember if you have one or not.) The 60fps making the gameplay buttery smooth is something you will greatly appreciate, I think.

  • @SplotchTheCatThing

    Think you hit the nail on the head with this one.
    Definitely agree that Adventure 2 was the peak of Sonic's storytelling and to my mind the only other that can come anywhere close to it is Unleashed (in a very different way, though -- Adventure 2 emphasizes the plot's twists and turns where Unleashed is all about presenting an epic journey, even when that comes at the expense of the plot).
    Will say a couple things for Rail Canyon though -- it can be tough as nails but it feels amazing when you nail it, and it has one of the best music tracks in the entire series. :D
    I'm pretty sure it was the first time I heard a seven-string guitar, too, and that definitely impacted my taste in the music that I listen to as well as influencing the music that I write to this day.

Apparently Sony had this stupid requirement that if Sega didn't release the game on PS2, they wouldn't be able to publish any other games for the PS2, so the PS2 port of Heroes was rushed.
