Sega of Japan today announced the forthcoming release of Sonic Heroes 2 on the Gamecube and XBOX formats.
Details are scarce but it has been revealed that there will be several new characters and several old favourites returning to the series.
The system has been overhauled and there is now the ability to mix and match characters from the different teams. Celebrity voices are being drafted in to voice the main characters (Sonic, Tails and Knuckles presumably) with the Sonic X voice actors providing the other voices.
Crush 40 will NOT be returning to provide a soundtrack to the game, instead there will be a set of licensed tracks from a variety of international artists.
There will be a new reward system, with classic Sonic games being the rewards for good performance.
Special connectivity with the GBA's Sonic Advance 3 will unlock additional items.
It is unusual for Sega to provide such volume of information upon announcement of a new game, which leads me personally to believe that the game has been in development for some time, possibly releasing around the same time as Sonic Advance 3. However, this would mean quite a rush job without time for sufficient marketing.
Sonic Heroes sucked the fat one, so hopefully this title will be an improvement.

I heard about this too. One of my friends told me that the voice of Rouge and Cream are the same as in Sonic X, which is kinda strange, but does give a bit of evidence that they are trying to go along with the TV series.
It sucks that it will not be released on the PS2, but I guess the sales of the first one were so poor that they must have scrapped it. But I am planning to buy a Gamecube so I guess it’s not much of a loss.
I hadn’t heard about the Crush 40 thing. That sucks because Crush makes some excellent Sonic tunes.
I liked Sonic Heroes a lot more then you but if this title is cooler then that will just be excellent. We just have to wait and see…..

Most games tend to release early information thats hardly ever seen in the finished product, best not to take to much of this for real untill a good year or so..

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?!?!?!?!? Voices from Sonic X? What happened to Ryan Durmond?! No Crush 40?! NO! Crush 40 are one of the reasons why Sonic became popular again! Quickly! We have to convince them not to do Sonic Heroes 2 this way!

They've taken the best products and thrown them away...
Neglecting Team Rose and Tails, the voices in Sonic Heroes were perfect- and Crush 40! C'mon! Wha are you thinking?
Still- I bet anyone all the money in my bank (52p) that this will mean Mighty!

What? How dare you!
*Summons the Death Egg II*
DESTROY HIM!
*madhair is engulfed by the death rays. ZERO gets caught in blast*
NOOOO. Wait until I'm out of the way you fools!
This is your second topic that turned out bad. Sure, I had a bad topic, but made up for it in the end. Joke topics like this are not needed.

Come on people, it was only an April fools joke and it only happens once a year. I am surprised that no one seems to be able to figure out that I was in on it too, hence the post I did. Anyway:
*Blocks the death rays with mod shield*
*Hacks the Death Egg into dust*

Yeah, I guess I did went a bit overboard with the Death Egg thing. And it was April Fools day. I just don't have that kind of sense of humor. Actually, how was April's fools day made up?
