After Sonic's famous Hedgehog, Megadrive and Puyo Pop, Sonic's latest is sure to please. When Sega's famous Yuji Naka, who heads the Sonic team, takes the wraps off of a new game, it's almost always a major event in the world of videogames. Available for the GameCube only, Billy Hatcher does more than only live up to Sonic's legacy before Sonic Heroes sees its belated launch early next year.

After Blue Hedgehog, the Sonic Team introduces a new star, Billy Hatcher, who elicits his support to save a beautifully rendered world beset under the yoke of a wicked adversary.
