The goals of each team are different, but the levels and boss fights are common to all of them. Sonic Heroes consists of four different stories, during which the player takes on the role of one of four teams of three. Just as in games of the series Adventure, the plot is divided into several stories. The game received mixed reviews from critics but it performed commercially well, becoming a million-seller and making the best-selling lists for all three of its original platforms. This game differs from other Sonic games by allowing the player to take control of one of four teams, each with three characters, who each have unique abilities to use. Sonic Heroes is noteworthy for being the first Sonic game to be released on Sony and Microsoft gaming consoles.
As part of the PlayStation 2 Classics program, the PlayStation 2 version was re-released digitally for the PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network on September 2012 in Europe, and January 2014 in Asia. It would then be later released for Microsoft Windows PCs on November 2004. It was first released on December 2003 in Japan, then in the first couple of months of the following year in other countries. Sonic Heroes ( ソニック ヒーローズ, Sonikku Hīrōzu ?) is a 3D platformer video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox.
