#sonic always had a silly concept and plot let's be fr.. the main villain is called eggman guys

sometimes i get so sad when i think about sonic heroes

the level design is some of the best in the series, both in the fun cartoony sense that fits with the sonic series but also in terms of alternative pathways and creative ideas

the gameplay is also genuinely so much fun and rewarding when you know how to combo the different characters skills

i think if they remade the game or made a new one with a similar team based formula they could have a real banger on their hands, especially if they have more expanded skills (similar to but maybe less op than frontiers) and had different stages per team

((also?? sega could’ve went so fucking hard on the concept of metal not really liking eggman for future games and im forever mad they never did more that that idea))

sonic heroes is definitely one i see get more flak in recent years, which i think is just incredibly unfair to the game since most of its crimes are "voice acting bad, story weird (it's a sonic game guys this ain't new), bugs bad".. which other games have done it MUCH worst than heroes.

i kinda lump heroes in the squad of "modern sonic games that get unfair treatment becuz people are watching youtubers rage at them rather than actually play them theirselves". along with that the bad ports getting in the way. like other than a few things i couuuld complain about, i consider it a fairly decent game, and yea i really wish we got to see more of metal in the big bad role. dude gets absolute crumbs nowadays and is just treated as an occasional boss battle and that's it, i wish we got more of THIS metal in future games..

i absolutely LOVED how corny sonic heroes was at times and it was nice to have another sonic game that was cheesy but still told its story. which is funny when this was right before shadow the hedgehog and sonic 06 came out trying to turn sonic into telling more "serious" stories.
