How does Any Forums feel about this game

Only the Team Sonic and Team Dark's campaigns are good. Rose and Chaotix suck ass.

Had fun as a kid but it was pretty boring when I replayed it recently. Character switching is a lame gimmick, levels felt like I was on autopilot half the time, absolutely abysmal bosses, and the different routes all reusing the same levels is shit.
I haven't really played any other sonic games to a decent extent so I don't know how similar they are but this one in particular was just a bad platformer.

Outside of replaying teams (this is ultimately a trivial complaint since you only have to do it once) this game should've been the template for future 3D sonic games regarding level structure. Just 14 levels of pure speed based platforming, no mechs, no fishing, no emerald hunting, no giant Egyptian game of pool. I don't know why this is such a hard concept to grasp. Great game outside of Casino Park. Third best Sonic gamr behind 3 and Shadow.

Rose and Chaotix don't have the light speed dash and the stages are shorter, plus they have none of the memorable set pieces found in Team Sonic and Team Dark's campaigns. Chaotix also has the dumb missions.

>better than Sonic Adventure
Fuck no, what the hell you talkin' about?

It's ok. Peaked at the ending cause metal sonic is cool. Level themes were nice but I don't like the game feel with the three players and such. Still got all A ranks for some reason.

>(this is ultimately a trivial complaint since you only have to do it once)

it's the only way to hear this fucking banger on the game by unlocking the final boss

My advice with Heroes : play the Gamecube or Xbox versions, finish Team Sonic, then maybe finish Team Dark for some slightly different level design, and then move on to something else. You aren't missing anything by skipping Team Rose and Team Chaotix. Final boss isn't worth it

NTA, but if we're only discussing the Sonic stages, SA1 barely edges it out. If we're talking Sonic Stages plus all the other bullshit (hub worlds, fishing, braindead gamma levels) Heroes wins with one hand tied.

Sega has some terminal illness that they have to throw everything away after every game they release
The one time 3D sonic got the closest to being really fucking good was when they actually made every game based off the improvements made on the previous one (Unleashed -> Colors -> Generations) but for some fucking reason they had to throw it all away with Lost World

>better than sonic adventure at least for campaigns

absolutely not
the game is ok though

Fun fact, when they made Lost World they threw out the streaming code that allowed Unleashed and Gens to load massive levels fast enough to keep up with Sonic which is why Forces levels were laughably short.

i liked it back then but i don't think i would now since beating the game 4 times might be a drag for me these days. what i'm made of is still the best song this franchise has produced though.

>three boulders chase in Ocean Palace
>reactor with rising toxic energy in Power Plant
>long bingo section at the end of BINGO Highway
>destroy Eggman's base using a cannon in Bullet Station
>grind on a plant while it grows at the end of Frog Forest
>alligator chase in Lost Jungle
>run on the side of the tower in Hang Castle
>multicolored dimension in Mystic Mansion
>long grinding section avoiding lasers at the end of Final Fortress
all of the memorable set pieces from Heroes are only found in the Team Sonic and Team Dark's campaigns

>hub worlds
>bullshit
Gain some taste.

They are. They aren't difficult and they aren't engaging. They serve no purpose other than wasting your time and padding the game.

Rouge winks at you when you stare at her fat tits so its a good game

They exist to make the world feel alive and less like a series of levels

Sonic Team are fucking brain dead idiots. Thats retarded. Fuck it I'm not defending these assholes anymore. They deserve all the shit they get.

The moment I heard Sonic Frontiers was "combat centric" I got some war flashbacks from this thing and its bosses
I know Iizuka was literally dying trying to make this game on time but he didn't need to pass that feeling to me

Amy and Espio are bullshit because they can't do the light speed dash, thus making their gameplay resemble the Adventure games' speed stages even less than it does with Sonic and Shadow.

I understand the effort, but I don't think it was executed well. I've mentioned this before, but one way they could've accomplished this would be by integrating the other characters into Sonic's story as optional bonuses. For example, maybe you run into Knuckles in Red Canyon and start an Emerald Hunting minigame, or Big in Twinkle park.

>I know Iizuka was literally dying trying to make this game on time but he didn't need to pass that feeling to me
Anyone got the link to this interview where Iizuka talks about this? It was interesting reading how much work into Sonic Heroes.

Should have been S3K in 3D but fucked up entirely.
Just stick to Robo Blast 2 if you want Heroes done right. Or if you just like the game for the automated shit but actualy want a polished version of that, play Spark 3.

absolutely awful to play. Horrendous combat, horrendous bosses, terrible stage design, the whole game is just complete shit. I dont give two shits if you think the soundtrack carries it, its garbage

PS2 port is terrible. One of the very first Sega published games for the system. It was all about Gamecube or Xbox in their early third party days

its not. you're just a brain dead idiot with trash taste.

the combat is literally brain dead, so I guess it takes one to know one

Never cared for it. Only sonic game that I played after SA2 and enjoyed was generations.

SOOOONIC KIIIIINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOES~
