Title: Sonic Heroes .............................................. System: Gamecube .............................................. Genre: Adventure ..............................................

Release: 01/06/2004 .............................................. Online: No .............................................. ESRB: Everyone (E) .............................................. Continue to Full Review   Overall   Sonic Heroes is a decent take on the Sonic franchise. There are a lot of general improvements from past 3D Sonic games, with the exception of the unworkable camera. There’s also tons of added content and a more extensive 2-player feature. However, this game doesn’t seem to retain the large platforming scope that the original Sonic Adventure captured for the Game Cube. Still, there’s a lot of content to unlock and plenty of modes to plough through, which will keep Sonic fans busy for quite a while.   Sweet to the Core   Fast Gameplay. this title at least keeps to the fast-pace of traditional Sonic games   Lot-o-Replay. there’s plenty of content jam-packed into this title.   Generically fun. this is just a generically fun game for die-hard platform fans   Going Bad   Controls. they were just a bit touchy for some characters   Graphics. the visuals could have been hewn a bit better   Rotten to the Core   Camera issues. controlling the camera was like fighting an undying boss   No 3-player. there are three members on a team but no 3-player option   The Core Score Overall 7.1 Fun 8.0 Gameplay 6.5 Graphics 7.3 Audio 8.3 Replay 8.1     Kid Safe Score      10  Great    Nothing offensive here, completely kid safe   How we score games
