The Epilogue of Adventure | Sonic Heroes

I’m pretty sure Iizuka said Shadow was never meant to stay dead, despite what we see in Adventure 2

11:how does Vector glide?

Oh right, the one with health bars

"We're SONIC HEROES!"
"WOULD YOU CUT THAT OUT!?!"

Remember getting this game for my birthday in like 2006. Booted it up, played the first level, went back to GTA San Andreas and never looked back

Sonic Heroes despite its flaws is just plain old Sonic fun. I will definitely say however that like mentioned in this video, the physics are a bit borked for the PC version. If you're going to play today, emulating the GameCube version or making sure to find mods and fixes for the PC version is recommended. Those types of physics issues are present to a degree in every version however, and that's also why I'm still a fan of Shadow the Hedgehog's gameplay, where such issues aren't anywhere near as apparent from my experience once you've acclimated to the feel of Shadow's movement.

I'll also say that I couldn't agree more with this video creator's views on the narrative for not only this title, but Sonic narrative in general. And this voice cast similarly for me will always be THE voices for these characters. These older titles will always be a bit janky and in need of further refinement via mods or the like to truly bring them up to modern standards, but they truly do not make Sonic games like this anymore.

1991-Black Knight we’re the last times that Sonic was good.

I just wish they hadn't gone the safe route and just went all in on an adventure 3.

Sonic heroes: the new beginning of the end.
2003: Sonic Heroes
2005: Shadow the hedgehog
2006: Sonic the hedgehog

The tone, story, characters, gameplay, and public opinion of sonic would be permanently altered forever

I absolutely love the theme songs they came up with for the teams in this game, but I have to say the biggest disappointment in all of Sonic music for me personally has been the shift away from whatever Nine Inch Nails sounding grungy ambient techno metalish edgy vibe they had for Shadow in SA2 to just being metal but not TOO metal.

The stylistic choices they had for Shadow in SA2 I felt perfectly encapsulated his character design. It was dark, but it was the kind of music I'd expect a bunch of Goth/Emo people to play SPECIFICALLY AT an indoor rave complete with smoke effects and crazy colorful lights going everywhere. I mean, you can't tell me that Final Chase wouldn't be played at an alternative night club. I can literally picture the lights behind the stage bumping along with the bass drum.

While Sonic Adventure 2 is the most beloved Sonic game, Heroes is probably my favorite childhood game, because I enjoyed it enough that I didn't mind the fact that it was among the few games I had at the time.

I am Shadow Android the ultimate platform.

I honestly think Tails’ delivery when saying “it’s not an egg man robot” was exceptional, but only in that moment

I wish this game wasn't mind numbingly boring and repetitive. It has a lot of potential but just doesn't do anything right from level design, mechanics, and even the story is just boring.

Yeah, it runs and you can play it, sure, but there's no reason to. Watching a Let's Play is 100% a better experience.

Honestly, I feel like if Shadow was kept dead that would go against his character arc in SA2 since it seems to constantly imply that Shadow was immortal or at least created to do so. IF he did die and stayed dead he would've not only failed the new mission Gerald gave Shadow, but his original mission too.

I do wish they woulda kept team hooligan

As not only my first Sonic game, but one of the first games I got for the GameCube when I first got it, I’ll always love Sonic Heroes and would go as far as saying it’s one of my favorite games ever

Ryan's voice was definitely the best for Sonic.

after watching your emotional and beautiful review of adventure 2 and hearing the beat at the very end segwaying into this video, that was great.

Just beat this game today I didn't think I would get all the chaos emeralds but waiting to have a level 3 boost, switching to the power character for better handling, and holding the b button to boost made it easy than tapping it

Look at all those Eggman robots

Sonic Heroes might be a little cheesy, and the gameplay might not be the best, but when I was seven years-old it was pretty much perfect.

I think sonic heroes was tons of fun.

The only fix this game needs besides bugs is to give the level order some variety in the different story lines

I’m sorry but Jaleel white is and always will be my voice for sonic

Ryan Drummond may be the best voice of sonic, Jason Griffith will always be my sonic

I'm weird and actually liked this game over the Adventure games.

Shadow saying “cool city” in sonic heroes does so much for his character

Team dark = tfs abridged androids
same dynamic

you said at the end of the 9th minute after the first hour of this video that fans of the game and of the sonic series did not understand much of Neo Metal Sonic, well I know a slightly bit of it and I can tell you where to get the answer's, it's from the archie sonic comic series after the crossover with megaman. It was revealed that Metal Sonic became Neo Metal Sonic and took over his master's empire month's before the events of this game in a flashback.

This might be an Unpopular opinion, but I think the flight characters control the best in terms of their ground speed compared to both the Power & Speed characters. I like slower paced controls in 3D & fast/agile ones in 2D due to the nature of those types of games, I suppose.

The controls aren't bad it's just if you're playing it on the original Xbox you might as well being playing it on the toilet and shove it down toilet

You know the Sonic voices when put together sound like sonic is aging and getting older

Ah yes... The other Sonic title i have for the GameCube... unless you count Sonic Mega Collection. :/
I remember it for..... Mystic Mansion, Final Fortress, Cream's chao, Rouge's design, that motherfriking rising energy(?) in Power Plant... 2P play mode... Espio's ability to go invisible.... Shadow's tornado attack......... and more, i suppose. And that opening, i realized..... is how montages that summarize epic adventures tend to go in my own imagination. Huh. Weird.

Edit after reaching the part where you got around to Egg Fleet: Those E-2000's look like Iron Man to me for some reason.

Also I need to know what the hell is up with Shadow and his whole story! I feel like I need to crack it; to piece it together-- I want to know! It's eluded and confused me for so many years-- His whole ordeal in SA2, that broken clone in the canyon regions of this game... his memory loss.. his memory having been altered in SA2... all those clones of his that Rouge and Omega discover in this game... why the title of the video is "The Epilogue of Adventure"..... I feel like Eggman found Shadow's corpse or smth some time betwwen the events of SA2 and this game... brought him back to life somehow and perhaps wanted to research on his grandfather's genius a bit thus making a shit-ton of clones....... but i need to know
