Sonic Heroes
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Heroes, développé par Sonic Team et édité par Sega, est sorti le 30 décembre 2003 sur PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube et PC, et a par la suite été disponible sur PlayStation 3. Ce jeu d'aventure et de plateforme de la série Sonic the Hedgehog, fonctionnant sous le moteur RenderWare avec la protection SafeDisc 4, propose de prendre le contrôle de quatre équipes de trois personnages aux capacités distinctes, afin de traverser des niveaux, amasser des anneaux, vaincre des robots et réunir les sept Chaos Emeralds pour contrecarrer les plans du docteur Eggman. L'intrigue suit ainsi Team Sonic, Team Dark, Team Rose et Team Chaotix, chacun poursuivant ses propres objectifs liés aux agissements du docteur Eggman. Accueilli par des critiques mitigées, avec un score Metacritic de 66 et une note agrégée de 64,99, le titre a tout de même rencontré un succès commercial en devenant un million-seller. La presse a salué certains aspects du jeu, comme Play Magazine évoquant un sentiment de plaisir pur rare dans le jeu moderne, tandis que d'autres publications comme Gamezilla! jugeaient l'expérience encourageante sans toutefois égaler les meilleures aventures du genre. Du côté des joueurs, les avis recensés sur Metacritic sont plus sévères, certains regrettant une expérience frustrante et peu amusante, notamment en raison de la répétition des niveaux à peine modifiés entre les équipes.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Sonic Heroes will fill you with a sense of pure fun seldom seen in the annals of modern game design. [Jan 2004, p.50] »
« Sonic may never topple Mario from the throne of excellent adventure games, but this latest attempt goes a long way to prove that there’s plenty of room for two fantastic gaming franchises at the top. »
« I absolutely love the music in this game. »
« Combining the classic play mechanics that made the classic series so addictive and a new set of team-based skills, this is probably the most in-depth Sonic title yet. »
« While the game suffers from some rather terrible camera problems and the adventure itself isn’t overly interesting from a storyline sense, the gameplay and action is fast, furious and fun. »
« As a loyal devotee of the series, I couldn't be more excited about Sonic Heroes's focus on high-speed action. I loved the "Sonic Adventure" games, but this is Sega's hedgehog at his finest. [Mar 2004, p.117] »
« If it weren't for the sense of redundancy that comes from the too-large environments (and from playing through many of them multiple times as the different teams), this title would have been just about perfect. In the end, Sonic Heroes certainly isn't perfect. However, it's a great step in the right direction. »
« 8 / 8 / 8 / 8 - 32 gold [Vol 786] »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Sonic Heroes isn't a good game, but hey, at least they tried. A frustrating game. »
« Not that fun, and playing the same game 4 times with very slight changes feels more like a chore than anything else really. Bad game. »
« The positive user reviews for this game are scientifically irrefutable proof that Sonic fans are imbeciles. »
« Muito bom gráficos ótimos história boa a nova mecânica de três personagens é muito boa mas tem alguns bugs e problemas de câmera fora isso é um jogo ótimo »
« Sonic Heroes is a vibrant, high-energy evolution of the franchise that successfully translates the series' signature momentum into a unique multi-character experience. By shifting away from the more somber tones of previous entries, this title leans into a bright, "blue sky" aesthetic that feels like a pure celebration of the Sonic universe. The transition to a three-character team system is a masterstroke of design, allowing for a seamless flow between high-speed sprinting, vertical exploration, and satisfying combat without ever forcing the player to come to a complete halt. »
« I find this Sonic Heroes game really well put together like I say you've got all Sonic's friends but the catch is you can't you can't pick one person you've got to play as all the people first to unlock a secret ending if you don't do it correctly you will be there for maybe a long time so if you do understand this message keep your guard up and keep your lives up as well good luck Sonic fans »
« I actually wasn't a big fan of this one. Its too long and some of the stories are just dumb. »
« My 1st game which i met Sonic the hedgehof series. I love a lot. Best story and graphics »
