Sonic Heroes with teams of three characters. Frantic gameplay faithful to Sonic but team system a bit heavy. Pleasant for blue hedgehog fans.

Collector interest

Japanese edition of Sonic Heroes on Xbox, a rare pressing for a Sega hedgehog on a console that barely found an audience in Japan. The title is common in the West, but its Japanese Xbox version circulates in small numbers, drawing Sega collectors mindful of atypical regional releases. Its interest comes from this improbable pairing of a Sega mascot with a marginal platform on the archipelago.

Is Sonic Heroes still worth playing in 2026?

A fast platformer from Sega, Sonic Heroes innovates by having you control teams of three characters with complementary abilities, alternating speed, flight and power to clear snappy, colourful levels. The frantic pace, the freshness of the team concept and the vivid art direction win over fans of the mascot. The wayward camera and some platforming imprecision weigh on it. A dynamic title for Sonic fans and lovers of fast arcade platforming in multiplayer.
