Just as some actors never made the jump from the silent screen to talkies, so too Sonic the Hedgehog has never really seemed at home in 3-D.
f1i Sonic Heroes
f0i0 , though, is the best attempt yet to simulate the fast, uncomplicated thrills of the 2-D Mega Drive days on this generation's shiny new consoles.
f1i Sonic Heroes
f0i0 is basically the action segments from
f1i Sonic Adventure 1
f0i0 and
f1i 2
f0i0 stripped of all the insanely dull pseudo RPG elements but unfortunately still containing far too much storyline and the largest and least interesting host of secondary characters ever seen in gaming.
f1i Sonic Heroes
f0i0 also inherits many of the older titles' camera and control problems, although here they are now occasional rather than constant irritations.
All this may seem as if it's painting a rather poor picture of the game, but despite all its problems
f1i Sonic Heroes
f0i0 is actually a lot of fun. Its main gimmick is that you actually control three characters at a time, with each one having a special ability of either speed, flight or the ability to smash through blocks. Thankfully this doesn't overcomplicate the controls and instead adds a modicum of depth to the otherwise non-stop running-'n'-jumping action.
You still occasionally get the feeling that the game is trying too hard to fit a round peg in a square hole, but on balance more of it works than doesn't, and it's certainly the best Sonic title since the Mega Drive era. --
