Dynamic, unpredictable gameplay make this a superb installment in the Sonic series. Unlike the other games, instead of controlling one character, you lead a team of three. Sonic is good at accelerating, Tails at flying, and Knuckles at crushing enemies. You control them one at a time, and the other two just follow. The graphics are very impressive.

Backgrounds and textures look colorful and bright, the models are well animated, and the flashes and special effects come so thick and fast, you'll find yourself dragged into the action as soon as you start playing. No common 3D platformer, Sonic Heroes is full of action, unexpected rides, jumps, and loops. Amazingly, these advanced graphical tricks don't slow down the slick animation a bit. The game's few slips include a somewhat unfriendly camera, a save-disabled, one-stage demo, and a rather low level of difficulty. Nevertheless, it's a great game for kids.

In Sonic's most exciting adventure yet, you maneuver a team of three Sonic characters through massive levels to overcome the ultimate evil. Eggman is on the loose once again, but this time he'll have to take on three powerful characters at once.

You can play as Team Sonic, controlling, Knuckles the Echidna and Miles 'Tails'? Prower; Team Dark, controlling Shadow the Hedgehod, E-123 Omega and Rouge the Bat; Team Rose, controlling Amy Rose, Big the Cat and Cream the Rabbit; or Team Chaotix, controlling Espio the Chameleon, Vector the Crocodile and Charmy Bee.

Although the teams each have a unique look, they mostly play the same and have to take on the same challenges which in this game means once more defeating Dr. Eggman and taking on a Mystery Monster.

That doesn't mean you will zoom through each level at blurring speeds, but you will be doing a lot of dizzying loops, corkscrews and ricocheting bounces. To make the three characters manageable you will only have control of one at a time. You can use the Y and X buttons to switch between which one is in the lead, and under your control, on the fly. This works quite well because the level has been designed in sections where you will lean heavily on a particular character's particular skills.
