So... Who bought Sonic Heroes!
 

I had it pre-ordered it since I played the demo in MK: DD. :D .

Now that I am finished with the story modes, I can say that this an overall solid game.
It is more closer to the older Sonic games (Genesis) than the Adventure games are.
The only problem, which can actually be a good thing, is that the levels are pretty big. Some lasting more than 10 minutes. The team aspect of the game seems to work out quite well, but it might get a little annoying switching to Tails to fly over a gap, when you are blazing quickly past the level with Sonic.

The camera is still a bit .. iffy xD. They have improved the camera since Sonic Adventure 2, but sometimes... it can be a pain. Good thing is you can switch around the camera while moving and set it like that.

Also, the emblems are back! Every time you collect 20 of them , you get another 2P mode. Some are pretty useless IMO.

Overall, I find this a very good game, and I'm going to play it until I get all emblems and A ranks. If I were to rate it on a 10 point scale, I would have to give it a 8.5/10

cool, i have a preorder for it, but it slipped my mind.. im gonna have to go pick it up tonight since today is payday!
yay!

Meh, after all the reviews and previews I've seen for this game, I think I'll pass. 3D killed Sonic.

isn't this game a port from the dreamcast releae?

Emeralds!!!

No it's the first new 3D Sonic game since the DC versions (GC Sonics were ports).

Heroes looks fantastic, Sonic and Knuckles is one of my favourite games of all time, still play it to this day. Gonna pick up Heroes next month :)

I keep hearing "its like the classic Sonic games" but what does that mean?
They were 2d jump and spin games, and this looks a whole lot more complicated

I heard the PS2 version is major blowage. Tragically, that's what I got and I don't particularly feel like shilling out 100 bucks to get Sonic Heroes.

all sonic games on "nextgen" machine sucks, even the "3d" version on megadrive and pc sucks

I didn't buy it, but I did play the levels on the demo disc that came with Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It was pretty fun.

Have you guys not played Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast? It got incredible reviews. It was one of my first Dreamcast games, and I simply couldn't believe how good it was. Yes, most of the other 3D Sonic games have sucked ass, but this one was nearly perfect. I hear the Gamecube port was crap, and I haven't heard good things about Sonic Heroes, but Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast was the perfect realization of the series in 3D. If you haven't played it, give it a shot! It has a sense of speed that's not found in many other games.

Sonic Heroes isn't getting very many BAD reviews, it's currently scoring an average of 8/10 across all platforms. Still gonna get it at some stage, Sonic rocks, I can't wait for Sonic Advance 3!

How's the speed on this game. I loved playing the original sonic games because I would always try to beat the game as fast as possible, but since this has teams in them does it slow the game down if you switch characters while playing?

IGN did give it an 8, but Electronic Gaming Monthly gave it 8, 6, and another 6. I expect more from the Sonic Team!

yes, sonic team used to mean almost 10 every time

Sonic Adventure was one of the best games I ever played. The graphics are still astounding...lived up to all the Sonic games before it. Everyone should play that game. I remember the "jaw-drop factor" it caused, every ten minutes. The game was so fast and out of this world at its time.

This is very true. It was the first game I yoinked for Dreamcast. A very solid choice I might add. The only let down for me in that ENTIRE game was how weak the Super Sonic mission was. Smack Perfect Chaos around, big surprise!
