Sonic adventure 1 and 2 are two of my favorite games. amazing sets with literally lighting fast game-play with an interesting story made for a great game. Sonic Heroes, I have to admit, is a step in the wrong direction when they really just should of made another sonic adventure, but its still pretty fun. In the the other games where you could go so fast that you could finish the level in just a few minutes, the levels weren't short, you just went really really fast. Here you don't go as fast and with the constant switching of the cast you usually take about 10 minutes or more with a level and the game-play at points isn't always fun as it should be.
The Team game-play is still pretty cool and fun even though at times a little slow, and the levels are consistently detailed and vibrant. The system of four teams to fit the gamer is a good idea, though just a single gamer probably won't want to beat four teams, but is required for the last stage. And all the levels being the same for all four teams with mild variations is just ridiculous and lazy on behalf of the creators. And the mostly cheesy comments from all the characters don't help. AND, it doesn't have a chao garden.
The songs in this game aren't nearly up to par with the other games, with the exception of the last song. This game does have a great array of cgi movie cut-scenes. But what really saves the game is Last Stage, even though you have to beat all four teams and get all chaos emeralds to unlock it, but by the end it's more then worth it. I'll try not to spoil it entirely but I will say it has a cool twist, the return of Super Sonic (but it would've been cool to have Tails and Knuckles go Super too) an awesome movie scene, a great song, "What I'm Made Of", which is up there with "Live and Learn" from Sonic 2, REALLY COOL and fun game-play that'll make you want to play again which overall makes up mostly for the rest of the games mistakes. My only complaint about the last stage is they shouldn't make you go through all four teams to unlock it.
Overall it's still a fun game but they really should've just made another sonic adventure. 8/10
