Any thoughts on how the story of Sonic Heroes could be expanded and improved given how there was more emphasis on gameplay that the plot?
I honestly donât know, Iâm not a huge fan of Heroes and I donât think it has a particularly great story either. Everything about that gameâs story and writing is just slightly off for me, like every character is just a little too energetic. I dunno, thatâs just a weird me thing.
But I guess the biggest issue is probably how it handles metal sonic, I feel like they donât really give him a lot to work with. Heroes never really slows down so thereâs never any time dedicated to fleshing out Metal Sonicâs plan or personality. Heâs just a very generic villain for me.
Itâs weird because the story is simple but it also feels a little messy. Like the theme of friendship and teamwork is obviously present in the gameplay but it doesnât really play a factor in the story. Thereâs stuff like Metal copying everyoneâs data but being defeated when everyone works together, but thatâs about as far as it goes, which isnât necessarily a bad thing, itâs not like thereâs no theme there, itâs just a very basic one.
I dunno, Iâm rambling. I have a weird relationship with Heroes. Itâs not a story focused game so I donât worry too much about it, but I also find it very forgettable.
