Yes, you heard the reviews from these "professionals" but I can tell you, that all Sonic fans will embrace this title. Sonic appeals to us nerds as a savior to gaiming, hell, if we saw Sonic Heroes on the shelf, we could put Halo and GTA aside. I have grown as a Sonic Heroes fan to dislike what it had to give, but after reflecting upon the fact that Sonic Team will never go back to the good days, and that everything Sonic has become elaborate I can call Sonic Heroes "good". It's better then many other popular selections for me, but I am a hardcore Sonic fan, so my opinion is only for the understanding. It has many ways to put your spin on 15 variated level. With your search team is the classical Chaotic crew from the 32x. I say that if you want the most generic 3D sonic game, this is your game is your answer.
