Sonic Heroes (ソニック ヒーローズ Sonikku Hīrōzu?) is a platform video game, developed by Sonic Team USA and published by Sega for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows. It was first released in Japan in December 2003, and then worldwide in early 2004. Released approximately two years after the Sonic the Hedgehog series' prior entry, Sonic Adventure 2, it is notable for being the first entry to released on Sony and Microsoft consoles. Contrary to other entries in the series, the game features twelve playable characters, all of which only playable in pre-determined teams of three. Critically, the concept received mixed reviews, but the game ultimately did well commercially, becoming a million-seller and making the best-seller's list for all three of its original platforms.
Sonic Heroes is a platform game in which players navigate through numerous levels using teams of three characters. The game features four teams; Team Sonic, Team Dark, Team Rose, and Team Chaotix, each with their own campaigns. Team Rose, Team Sonic, and Team Dark represent easy, medium, and hard difficulties respectively, with the harder difficulties featuring longer stages and tougher enemies. Team Chaotix's levels, on the other hand, are mission based, requiring players to fulfill a specific objective in order to clear each level. Each team contains three character types; Speed, Power, and Flight, which the player toggles between at any time, also changing the team's running formation. Speed characters can perform homing attacks and light dashes, and can form whirlwinds to climb up poles, Power characters can break through objects and glide on air fans, and Flight characters can temporarily fly in the air and attack airborne enemies. By acquiring certain items or enemies, characters can level up, becoming more efficient when fighting against enemies.
