Sonic Heroes (2003 Video Game)
8/10
Should get more praise

After SEGA discontinued the Dreamcast, the Sonic Advance trilogy was amazing in its own right. What we were missing was a 3D Sonic game. Enter Sonic Heroes.

The levels and bosses aren't the best in the series (especially Robot Carnival and Robot Storm and Egg Emperor) but they are not the worst either. Special mention to Metal Madness/Metal Overlord.

So at the beginning of the game you pick a team with 3 characters and 3 abilities: speed/power/flight and all the teams have a different story. Team Sonic find a letter saying they have 72 hours before Eggman unleashes a Metal Sonic device on the world. Team Dark have their own goals. Shadow (He is back somehow) wants to know what happened to him, Rouge wants to find Eggman's treasure and E-123 Omega wants to kill Eggman for locking him up in a room. Team Rose consist of Big, Cream and Amy and they are looking for Froggy and Chocoloa, Cheese's twin brother. Team Chaotix go looking to solve a mystery and get money doing so. Metal Sonic interferes sometimes, being Eggman's imposter.

So overall while the story, levels and bosses in this game aren't the best, the team mechanic and gameplay are amazing. One idea is to bring back the team mechanic back and make it flow better. Still a underrated gem from the 2000's
