| | First Impressions - Sonic Heroes // Xbox /// Eurogamer |
 | | While Sonic's previous Adventures may have grown wearisome, Heroes has the potential for sprawling, hugely complex levels that subtly draw out a character's strengths, gradually yielding to the player's intuition and still managing to encapsulate some of what made Sonic the Hedgehog such a desirable and magical series in the first place. |
 | | Sonic, meanwhile, is a jack-of-all-trades, whose fast pace and ability to gather lines of rings (by pressing X to snap to the right trajectory) often compensate for his relative normality. |
 | | Select Sonic rather than Tails, for example, and A to jump followed by A to float up into the air quickly becomes A to jump followed by A to try and head-bop an imaginary enemy buried deep in the advancing pool and die in flames. |
