List of Sonic Team games
In addition to the "Sonic" series, the company has developed other games for Sega, such as "Nights into Dreams" (1996) and "Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg" (2003). The 1991 release of "Sonic the Hedgehog" is considered significant in video game history, as it increased the Sega Genesis's sales and Sega displaced Nintendo as the leading video game company. Some of Sonic Team's games, such as the Genesis-era "Sonic" games and "Nights", are considered by critics to be among the greatest video games ever released.
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Heroes is a 2003 3D platform game in Sega's "Sonic the Hedgehog" series. The player races a team of series characters through levels to amass rings, defeat robots, and collect the seven Chaos Emeralds needed to defeat Doctor Eggman. Within each level, the player switches between the team's three characters, who each have unique abilities, to overcome obstacles. "Sonic Heroes" abandons the action-adventure and exploration-based gameplay of its predecessors "Sonic Adventure" (1998) and "Sonic Adventure 2" (2001) and instead returns to the linear style of Sega Genesis-era "Sonic" games.
