May I say you are a true hero for doing this? The number of TH-cam players I've seen doing a playthrough of this game on an original Xbox is exceedingly rare. I feel like Xbox is the underdog of the three 6th gen consoles in terms of not just Sonic games but Sega games in general. Whenever I see a playthrough of this game, it's almost always on the GameCube. Now I finally get to witness my favorite 3D Sonic game of all time on Microsoft's first ever video game console. Again, you, sir, are a true hero!
The Xbox is the most underrated console brand period. Even way back when this game was new, it was always the best. I have nothing against Playstation or Nintendo, but of the 3, Xbox to me is the best. Sonic Heroes to me looks and runs amazing on Xbox
@@bj1991-k1q it's sad man. So many of the Xbox haters out there have probably never even played any Xbox console to see how amazing they are. Ever notice how every video you see of Sonic Heroes, unless you specify "Xbox" in your search, it's usually GameCube gameplays that you see? Like you said, Xbox was definitely the underdog with this game, despite it being the best one
I grew up playing this game on og xbox so seeing the obviously the game but even the xbox buttons on the top right opposed to the usual gamecube ones in most videos is getting me real nostalgic
Why the hell do people hate this game so much? It's a masterpiece of a Sonic game. I really wish it would be remastered for xbox one. And what, the levels were a little lengthy? Good! That's a true test of speed!
Because PS2 port ruined it, and people have bad memories due to how bad PS2 version was. I am not joking, i think its proof that people can have nostalgia for bad games but its really BAD ports some have nostalgia for. If Sonic Heroes was only a GameCube and Xbox port then it would be a classic, maybe not perfect but still a classic!
I still remember my uncle popping the Sonic Heroes disc into the Wii. I played for hours on end, I even beat Neo Metal Sonic. I had that song on repeat in my head for weeks.
Unfortunately this game was made on hedgehog engine 2 so it’s impossible to get that engine running on modern consoles. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible for this game to get a remake!
Replace Sonic Unleashed (XBOX 360) with Generations. My top 5 3D Sonic games are 1. Adventure 1 (Dreamcast) 2. Unleashed (XBOX 360) 3. Adventure 2 Battle (GameCube) 4. Heroes (GameCube) 5. Colors or Secret Rings (Nintendo Wii)
Maybe someone has already mentioned it in comments, but is it just me or Xbox version has the best audio mixing out of all versions including PC??? I can finally hear characters' voices clearly!
O jogo que eu mais tenho boas memórias na época de PS2! (não tinha muito acesso a Internet e foi o primeiro da era 3D dele que joguei) merecia muito um remake.
I remember this game when I played this on my pc when I was 8 years old and my dad downloaded this game for me. Nostalgia beats me so harder than I thought😢.
what a great game, what I didn't like was the great difficulty that team sonic and team dark had, also the special phases for me were a pain because they moved anywhere, luckily I managed to pass all of them but the game, speaking of the levels, are great and The final boss was much better, I remember that when I finished it I took off my shirt thinking about how difficult it was. anyway great game

I’ve never played Sonic Heroes, but it’s always been intriguing to me. Watching this video really makes me want to get it, should I know anything about the game before buying it? I’m going to get it for the Xbox so that I can play it on my Xbox 360.
You wanna know what I hate? I hate it when TH-camrs stretch the footage into 16:9 when it's not supposed to be that way. It's my biggest pet peeve with people like @ProsafiaGaming.
@@SantiagoMonroy5 The 360 runs most Xbox games in 4:3, even if they're 16:9 compatible & Sonic Riders is one of those. But Sonic Riders does run in 16:9 (with slight underscanning) & I can confirm as I've played through the whole game on authentic hardware.
The xbox version has some ps2 effects and some effects from gamecube to maintain the 60fps in the xbox version while the gamecube is superior in effects and maintain an solid 60fps without some drops in certain parts that's the xbox version has, if the xbox version was more optimized, it will have all of the gamecube effects in higher quality and some exclusive effects
one of the very first video games i picked up when i was around 8 years old. took me forever to beat it until i did, then proceeded to do it over 20-30+ times. i recently revived my gamecube again and still have to disk and can’t wait to play it again 🥲
@@HDPLAYGROUND1911 What! I 100% it on 360 it plays better as in dishing out those frame drops and has the fastest load after me comparing it to GameCube version used on Wii. The only bad thing is that CGI runs at 15 FPS but it’s still Synced anyway
Yup, this is a good port. Although it has some of the PS2's downgraded effects and some pretty bad graphic glitches in some places, a worth playing version of the game.
You already know why, because the first Xbox, as cool as it was, did not succes as much as they wanted, remember the PS2 ? How much it was buyed ? That why ( and don't get it wrong, i do have players on the two of them, but it is still how it appened)

This was one of the only sonic games where tails sounded like an actual kid
in adventure 1 and 2 he's literally voiced by a kid
Tails always sounded like a child its grating
I used to play this on Xbox! I still remember it to this day...
Still one of my favorite 3D Sonic games.
It's my second favorite next to Unleashed, such an Underrated game.
Exatamente. Para mim, esse e o Sonic Adventure (dreamcast) são os melhores 3D do Sonic, mas tbm os melhores 3ds que conheço
me too

Bro it was my childhood
i grew up playing this game on the ps2, absolutely loved the game, seeing this brings back so many childhood memories
for me 2 but i play her on pc back in the super good old days bc i have it only pc but yes the game was amazing
Happy anniversary. I love this game.
And i miss the old voice cast ❤
Me Too. 😊
This game is highly Underrated and is one of the best 3D Sonic games I've played.
It’s not underrated. Sonic Heroes was a major commercial success back then. It had greatest hits on all platforms (PS2, GameCube, and OG XBOX).
The theme song is STILL fire in 2024

Never understood the hate.
Loved generation too but the remaster suck and shadow part is absurdly short.
Omega and Big's voice actors did a great job.
