And here are some more gameplay details of the game, thanks as always to Games Are Fun, the best and most quickly updated gaming news site on the net:
Quote:Sega and Sonic Team are showcasing the newest original installment in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, Sonic Heroes, at this year's Electronics Entertainment Expo.
Currently in development for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube, Sonic Heroes allows gamers to choose from one of four teams: Team Sonic, Team Shadow, Team Rose, and Team Dark. Each one is made up of three individual characters who have different abilities.
For instance, Team Sonic consists of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Sonic, in typical fashion, is lightning fast and he has a hurricane attack; Tails can fly and carry Sonic and Knuckles across large distances; Knuckles can glide, punch, and throw Sonic and Tails. By using all of their abilities, it's up to the player to traverse 14 stages that change depending on the crew of characters.
Sonic Team also hopes to include multiplayer support. We'll have hands-on impressions of Sonic Heroes later this weekend, so check back for a more in-depth analysis of the game's new mechanics; in the meantime, enjoy the freshly-posted screens.
