Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the most recognizable video game characters ever created. Back in 2003, SEGA released his first multiplatform title since the demise of their console business 2 years earlier. How did the Blue Blur and company stack up on their first run on foreign hardware?

Team Chaotix have been playing comic relief for Sonic since their reintroduction, but they have the potential to carry their own game.

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Sonic Heroes is an enigma of a game. It is bad, in every technical aspect you can imagine. Upon replaying it for the first time in more than a decade, I did noticed how poorly it aged. Yet… I really don’t care. It’s the bizarre kind of charm featured in every single Sega game from this era. Call it nostalgia, call it game feel, Sonic Heroes is the kind of game you know you shouldn’t like as much as you do, but you couldn’t care less about that. It just takes a few seconds of listening to that adorable Crush 40 theme song for you to basically shut off the logical parts of your brain and proceed to enjoy this adorable jankfest with the biggest of smiles."
