Sonic Heroes

This year's million-selling outing for Sonic, with a hot budget price tag. Join the spiky one and a host of his friends and foes as they team up to thwart once again their shared nemesis, Dr Eggman.

Out now on Xbox, PS2, GameCube and PC, play as any of four indomitable teams across 14 massive, action-packed stages. Each team boasts three heroes made famous by the legendary Sonic series, each with unique flying, power or speed skills. Control all three heroes at once, utilising each team member's special skills to negotiate puzzles, battle enemies and explore the huge landscapes.

Who will be your team? Will it be Team Sonic, driven by a battle-hardened desire to defeat Dr Eggman and put the world to rights? Or perhaps Team Dark, comprised of Sonic's erstwhile foes - vagabonds and villains yearning to get their hands on Dr Eggman's stash of jewels. The choice is yours, but whatever you choose it'll be quite a ride...

• Play as one of four teams for a total of 12 playable characters - Team Sonic, Team Dark, Team Rose, or Team Chaotix - each with their own unique signature moves and story line.

• Each team boasts multiple specialized stages with unique missions and CG movies driving each team story forward.

• Experiment with team formations to learn the best way to defeat enemies, solve puzzles and navigate massive environments.

• Dynamic multiplayer battles for two players.
