This. When I played Sonic heroes, it was after playing SA2:B (which I loved, and rejuvinated my love for sonic), and SA:DX (which was mediocre, but I enjoyed the ending enough, to make me forget the Knuckles Amy and Big the cat levels (and to think I actually liked the Knuckles stages in SA2).
But when Sonic Heroes came out I was underwhelmed. Didn't like the game. I beat it with all teams, but I didn't manage to get all the chaos emeralds so no true ending for me.
But then I played what was considered the first good sonic game in years. Sonic and the secret rings. Boy....bullshit review scores. FFS how the fuck did eurogamer give this a 9 I'll never know (unless they were bribed it makes no sense).
Then Sonic Unleashed, which I just didn't bother with after the demo, sonic and the black knight (aggh), and worst of all, a couple of weeks ago I finally played Sonic 2006. I honestly thought it couldn't possibly be worse than all those sonic games that came after it...... oh boy.....was I wrong...
but yeah, sonic heroes is bad. And at the time it cooled my relationship with the franchise (sonic, OMG this is crap, advance 3 also didn't help). But really not as bad as those games that followed.
