It plays like a 2D Sonic game, but in the 3rd dimension.
Yet no one wanted it

Ocean Palace is probably one of the best musical tracks in all of Sonic.

Yeah this isnt accounting for the glitches and how bad it controls mid to late game. Also, the pointless collection quests. Youre gaslighting if you assume this is what people are asking for.

I liked the rails level in Sonic Heroes

But it's a clear step down from the Sonic Adventure games, maybe that's why people don't like it very much

Didn't Heroes force you to use a party of three characters? Yeah, I didn't want that and thought it was awkward.

Heroes is a game that sounds great on paper, but is far less great in execution.

The rails barely even work, and there's a whole level literally called RAIL CANYON where you can watch Sonic and friends fall to the abyss of despair!

It desperately needs a remake with a new physics engine. The level design and music are both really fun, but the wonky physics periodically just screws you over

I just wish we would have gotten a 3rd iteration of the chao garden

It honestly may be the worst 3D Sonic game. Yes, that includes Sonic Boom and Sonic 06. Those games are at least broken in an entertaining way. Sonic Heroes just kills you if you approach a scripted sequence from the wrong angle.

God-tier soundtrack, though. I still have some of the songs on my phone.

Similar game flow, but it sure as hell doesn't play like them.

In 2D Sonic if you fall from a high place you usually just land on the ground instead of a bottomless pit.
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

Sonic Heroes has incredible janky charm. I've never played a game where I'm playing normally but the developers didn't line something up right and I blast off into the sunset at Mach 14.

The average level in Sonic Heroes has more bottomless pits than Sonic 1, 2, 3&K, and CD combined . And unlike Heroes those games also have great controls.

I want to like the game. As a kid I did!

It felt like a massive step down from SA2B (my favorite Sonic game). In terms of the levels and definitely the story.

Also, Sonic Heroes originally was only going to release on the GameCube and XBox. Sony "forced" them to make a PS2 version. The time to make this version cut into time that could have been spent making the game better. Also, the PS2 version plays the worst, so avoid that version.

Also, it preceded Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 2006, so I guess you can say this is where Sonic's quality took a dive it took a while to recover from...and the esteem of the franchise still suffers to this day from this.

I should hook up the GameCube and try it again. I remember the physics being more janky than the adventures and punching with Knuckles or Omega was just asking to go flying off a cliff. Also all the combat was less interesting than the platforming of the adventures. The late game enemies with the helmets you had to knock off and then try to hit their tiny weak spots sucked. But it was still fun sometimes.

If I were to hook up the GameCube again though, I'd probably just play SA2B again instead.

The problem is that the 2D Sonic game youre referring to is Knuckles Chaotix.

I always avoided that by doing a jump first. Staying in the air and launching your partners is much safer.

Exactly. Punch if you're on safe flat ground, meteor smash the homies if you're anywhere near a pit. Also the punching combos don't launch you nearly as far if you don't move the control stick. Just mash punch by itself and you get a decent quick infinite combo.

I thought Heroes was fun, and I didn't run into too many issues during my playthrough.
