“PS2 Classic” Only Available in Europe for Now
From the Out of Left Field department comes the rather surprising news buried in a Playstation blog post from Europe that Sonic Heroes has been re-released to the PS Store in that region.
The digital download is available in all EU locations for €9.99 in most areas, and £7.99 in Britain–the equivalent of about $12-13. The download will eat up 4.5 gigs of hard drive space.
There was no indication from Sega or anyone else this was in the pipeline. In fact, just yesterday the Sega blog only plugged several deal US Playstation Plus customers were getting, and spoke nothing of Heroes. It remains to be seen whether this release will be exclusive just to Playstation holders in Europe, but we will work to find out more information.

(This article was amended to reflect the correct price point in the EU of €9.99; the previous price point given of €6.99 was incorrect. We regret the error.)

Metal OVERLORD is a monster of the week.
@Nuzamaki90
Be as that may, I wasn’t one of those. I’m sorry if I insulted/offended you, though. Certainly not my intention.
@Hyper Metal If that’s they case then wouldn’t Time Eater be, “Monster of the Week” since it was a creature?
That’s what I was thinking. Technically they still are one in the same.
Man stop crying like babies (Just had to be said)
PS2 version of this game SUCKS!
Still the last 3D Sonic I enjoyed up until Colors came along, so if it came to XBLA for a reasonable price I’d consider it.
Btw whatever happened to those 20 Dreamcast games supposed to be coming to PSN/XBLA ?
And I was so looking forward to playing JSR again :I
Great, but i already have the ps2 ver., the only ver. I ever played, in other news and way off topic:
Wow I had no idea so many people hated this game. And some hate only because of the plot… I really like it until nowadays, I play it on wii. It’s so cool to see the 3 characters running together through the adventure, the gameoplay was very fun and some stages had very good sounndtracks too.
And differently of colors and generations, it still makes me want to play even after beating it.
I think the PS2 version was the worst port due to frame-rate issues… I don’t know, but it feels too stiff…
Ehhh, It’s an alright game. Good Music, fun Multi-Player, ect….
But they skipped a game…
Sonic Adventure -2010
Sonic Heroes- 2012
What’s missing in this chronological order by one year ???
While we’re off topic, tommorow’s gonna be one hell of a day, isn’t it? It’s either gonna be sink or swim for Sonic 4.
Well I hope Dimps finally got their act together on the gameplay, otherwise there is going to be a big storm and it’s name is Hurricane Retro.

I was referring to his form of “Metal Madness”.
Oh good, we needed a way to remind people that 3D Sonic games sucked royally for the longest time.
For me this was one of the most fun experiences in videogames of my life. I really like it until nowadays, I play it on wii. It’s so cool to see the 3 characters running together through the adventure, the gameplay was very fun and some stages had very good soundtracks too.
And differently of colors and generations, it still makes me want to play even after beating it.
@Sloth: To be fair, of all the 3D games released from 2003 to 2008 (sans Unleashed), Heroes sucked the least.
@Sonikdude101 – We cannot say sink or swim for Episode 2 yet. If Episode 2 follows the same campaign as Episode 1, we will NOT be able to judge the game.
Episode 1′s frist trailer was a teaser that showed no gameplay (just like Ep2′s first trailer).
Ep1′s 2nd trailer showed a timeline, and 4 seconds of gameplay. * I can assure you that we will only see a few seconds of gameplay, from Ep2′s 2nd trailer. Let’s just wait. If it’s only a few seconds of gameplay, with music irrelevant to the level music, we CANNOT judge this game.
Peace out.
I LOVE Sonic Heroes. On gamecube, that is. I heard the PS2 version was the worst version, and I believe it. Why did it have to be the worst version of the game?
@Sonicplayer
No one gives a shit.
@B-Rad
Yes, yes he is.
