Sonic Heroes
Writing lowlight: “We’ll show that creep the REAL SUPER POWER of TEAM WORK!”
As a whole, Sonic Heroes is a little cringeworthy. Made back in the days where Sonic Team were still convinced that people wanted to play as every single character in the extended Sonic universe, it was loaded with unnecessary bloat that diluted the sheer fun of zipping around as everyone’s favorite blue hedgehog.
The fact that Dr. Eggman lays down the gauntlet by describing his plans for world domination in a magical talking letter should give you an indication of what to expect. Characters exchange banter with one another throughout the levels, and it’s all fairly innocuous if not a little cheesy. …Then Charmy Bee appears, and you begin to regret your life. With absolute zingers like “You mean the BAD GUYS!?” and “Take this you BAD MAN!”, you will begin to notice a definite trend in Charmy’s BAD DIALOGUE.
What a wasted opportunity to bring back the only Sonic character who mattered. We still love you, Ray the Flying Squirrel.
