border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]\r\n\r\nThis year Sonic turns thirteen, but he&#8217;s not showing any signs of slowing down! In fact, if to prove all his naysayers wrong, the latest Sonic game to hit the streets is not only out on one system, but is having a big release on all three current consoles! Let&#8217;s hope the GameCube, PlayStation 2 and X-Box are ready for Sonic Heroes!\r\n\r\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oRjFF-Rh0cA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\r\n\r\nSonic Heroes is visually more of a successor to the 2D MegaDrive games than the Adventure series. One look at the chequered hillsides and you won&#8217;t help but feel some nostalgia. But that&#8217;s where the nostalgia ends! The new twist with this game is that you don&#8217;t just control one character: you control three! If you want to play Sonic, you&#8217;d better brush up on Tails and Knuckles too!\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Review Zone Image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/reviewzone\/229-01.jpg\">\r\n\r\nIn an innovative move, this game allows you to use Sonic&#8217;s speed, Knuckles&#8217; raw power and Tails&#8217; ability to fly to reach the end of each zone. Throughout the various levels you will need to switch between these three characters to be able to pass certain parts that would be impossible with just one of the characters.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Review Zone Image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/reviewzone\/229-02.jpg\">\r\n\r\nThere&#8217;s four teams altogether:\r\n\r\n&#8211; Team Sonic, featuring Sonic, Tails and Knuckles;\r\n&#8211; Team Dark, featuring Shadow, Rouge and E-123 Omega;\r\n&#8211; Team Rose, featuring Amy, Cream the Rabbit, and Big;\r\n&#8211; Team Chaotix, featuring Vector, Charmy and Espio.\r\n\r\nEach team must traverse fourteen levels in a bid to stop Dr. Eggman (Robotnik) from taking over the world. The levels are basically the same for each team, but there are many differences in the paths each must take. The difficulty level also changes depending on which team you choose to use. While Team Sonic have the usual medium difficulty level, Team Dark has much more challenging levels, Team Rose is easier, and Team Chaotix have more alternative gameplay styles such as object collecting or hiding from Badniks!\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Review Zone Image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/reviewzone\/229-03.jpg\">\r\n\r\nAs you would expect from these latest consoles, the game looks amazing, with crisp textures and smooth character models are all around. There&#8217;s also a wide variety of levels to look at so it never gets boring. You will take your team from sparking beaches to huge jungles and even through a fleet of airships! The level design also far surpasses anything seen so far in a 3D Sonic game.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Review Zone Image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/reviewzone\/229-04.jpg\">\r\n\r\nThe soundtrack to the game is about on par with the previous 3D outings, so if you liked them, you&#8217;ll love what&#8217;s on offer here. Particular stand-out tracks include &#8220;Hang Castle&#8221; and &#8220;Final Fortress&#8221;. Each team also gets a vocal track, and although all four are well done, none of them are as inspiring as past Sonic music, such as &#8220;Live and Learn&#8221; from Sonic Adventure 2.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Review Zone Image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/reviewzone\/229-05.jpg\">\r\n\r\nThe gameplay stays true to what people love about Sonic, his speed. While to begin with the character switching may seem cumbersome, it soon becomes second nature and won&#8217;t slow you down. The only team that really deviates from the fast gameplay is Chaotix, whose hunting levels can get quite tedious, especially if you weren&#8217;t fond of the Knuckles and Rouge levels from Sonic Adventure 2.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Review Zone Image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/reviewzone\/229-06.jpg\">\r\n\r\nStory wise, this game is much lighter on plot than the Adventure games, and that can seem a bit jarring at first. But less story means being able to jump right into the levels without lengthy story sequences detracting from the gameplay.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Review Zone Image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/reviewzone\/229-07.jpg\">\r\n\r\nSonic Heroes boasts seven different 2-player modes, each of which have a variety of gameplay styles. While these pack in even more playability, the downside is that you need to have someone else to play with. While the 1-player mode features pretty intuitive artificial intelligence, the 2-player mode is sadly lacking in that department so unless you&#8217;ve got a friend or relative to hand, you won&#8217;t be playing these exciting levels very often, which is a shame.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Review Zone Image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/reviewzone\/229-08.jpg\">\r\n\r\nSonic Heroes is a great addition to the Sonic game library, and has all the best features from the Adventure games intact, while ditching the elements that didn&#8217;t work well. The team gameplay was a controversial move, but it&#8217;s ease of use and increased gameplay style has paid off. The controls can be a little tricky sometimes, and some levels can take some getting used to, but disregarding these small faults, this is a very entertaining game that won&#8217;t get old fast!\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Review Zone Image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stconline.co.uk\/reviewzone\/229-09.jpg\">\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Review Zone Final Countdown&#8221;
