Lively game

Finally. After a long wait, the Playstation must now finally 2 owners get into the genre of the real Sonic platform games. And I'm not talking about any Collection with Sonic 1 & Co! No, it is in fact a completely new Sonic title. This debut on the Sony console may our blue hedgehog course mess up in any case! He does it but surprisingly still part ...
The basic idea of ​​Sonic Heros is not so bad. Instead of a hero you can now control three characters simultaneously and change the figures, depending on the situation. The three characters have to act in this case as many different possible that the players at the beginning can be easily dizzy. But that does not matter because the game not only offers a good turtorial, also in later levels obtained more helpful tips facilitate the next round. Did you get the hang first out playing and acting out a lot of fun. Thanks to the well thought out gameplay a lot of variety is offered. On the one hand, of course, by the frequent changing of the figures, on the other, through fun mini-games (eg Flipper or driving)
There are 4 different teams of which you must choose one to begin with. Depending on which team you choose, the game is either easy, medium or hard. The fourth team falls slightly out of the ordinary here. For Team Chaotix one may namely solve special tasks. (Eg: find 10 hermit crabs or defeat 80 opponents) a two-player VS mode, the game also, but controlling the characters need a certain amount of practice, which new players have one major drawback. Alone you can play 6 more Two player mods free.
The sound and the graphics are good. The whole presentation of the game slightly reminiscent of Sonic 2. (HACH those were the days), the total control of the figures, it is unfortunately very difficult. The reason is that the camera captures the image usually very unfavorable. So sometimes you do not see as the enemy even though he is just behind. Added to this are the many pesky abyss! There are in this game more than abysses in Sonic 1, 2 and 3 together !! Annoying abysses in combination with a poor camera often provide frustration, because you ran out frequently about the destination or next jumps. Every now and then there are even times really unfair situations (especially with Team Dark) which can then easily can cope properly with happiness. The characters themselves can be here also often control very difficult. So it can happen that you let a whirlwind Sonic although one really only wanted to press a switch.
On the whole, "Sonic Heroes" is relatively well managed. Especially Sonic fans the title should not be missed, just because you finally allowed to play characters from the lost title Knuckles Chaotix. The English dub is anyway a matter of taste. Unfortunately the little quirks the game in some places really unbearable. If it was not Sonic, there would have been only 3 stars.
