  Sonic the Hedgehog - Sonic Retro
Sonic the Hedgehog (Japanese:ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, Romaji: Sonikku za hejjihoggu) is the flagship character for video game, arcade game (and formerly home game console) company Sega, which has released a series of video games in which he either stars or plays a role.
Sonic is a blue, 15-year-old hedgehog who lives on the planet Earth (or Mobius in various other American or European sources, which, depending on the universe, varies from being simply the name of Earth in the future to being an entirely different planet).
Sonic is something of a nomad; he travels from area to area of the Earth searching for new things to see and do, rarely stopping for anything or anyone unless he's needed, often times getting himself involved in Eggman's schemes to take over the world.

Sonic Heroes is the fourth game bearing the Sonic the Hedgehog license to appear on the Nintendo Gamecube (counting Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and the Sonic Mega Collection), and not only marks Sonic becoming completely multi-platform, but also marks the new "Team" gameplay mechanics.
First there's Team Sonic, which is the quintessential "good guy" team, is comprised to the three classic Sonic the Hedgehog characters: Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, and Knuckles the Echidna.
Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 were a lot of fun, but didn't quite deliver the classic Sonic the Hedgehog experience in my opinion, and it's great to see a return to the classic style with Sonic Heroes, despite featuring a new gameplay hook: the "team" mechanics.

 Kikizo: Review: Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
The new Sonic the Hedgehog is disappointing, without a doubt.
Despite the revitalised Sonic game many of us expected, what we've ended up with is something that lost its direction during development and is ultimately more of the same, with little in the way of new ideas or features.
But 3D Sonic games, nonetheless, have a lot of fans, and it would be surprising if these fans greet the latest instalment with the same level of disappointment as much of the angry media has.
