ee, Sonic and I have been having some problems lately, and to Sonic Team’s credit, Heroes is the closest they’ve gotten to what I’m looking for in an all-new Sonic title. The different teams and combo system add necessary (and refreshing) updates to the blur’s usual gameplay; but the level design (while markedly better than Adventure) still offers up a few too many watch-characters-shoot-through-loop-de-loops for my taste. It’s a servicable and innovative effort, but there’s still room to grow.
