Sonic Heroes 10.8 Beta

(W.I.P.)

I was a huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan. I had owned every game in the series, excluding games like Sonic SchoolHouse and SegaSonic the Hedgehog. I had a lot of Sonic merchandise too, like plushes, posters, promotional cutouts, and more. My favorite game out of the entire series though had to be Sonic Heroes. I had grown up with Sonic Heroes and loved it more than any Sonic game or any game at all for that matter. So one day I was searching around YouTube when I found a video titled "Sonic Heroes Prototype (10.8 Beta)". I watched the video and I noticed that there were many differences present from this beta to the final game. So I decided to Google search to see if I could find this prototype to try it out for myself. After about 5 or so hours and about 20 or more pages through Google results, I found a ISO of it on a gaming website. The website looked a bit shady to me because it had a disorganized layout and a lot of ads. It looked like a site that you would get a Trojan from, but I still hit the download link because I wanted to play this beta more than anything else currently at the moment. After the file had downloaded, I booted up Dolphin 4.0 on my computer and ran the ISO.

The beginning of the game stated out normally, or at least it stated out the same as the video of it I had seen on YouTube. I pressed the start button on my Xbox 360 controller, (which is what I used to play any kind of game or emulation on my computer). The game went to the team selection screen like normal and I selected my favorite team from the whole game, Team Sonic. I really loved Team Sonic because it consisted of my 3 favorite Sonic characters, Sonic, Tails, and my most favorite Sonic character of all, Knuckles. I selected the team and the game booted up to the first cutscene of the game with Sonic running in what looked like a valley, with Knuckles and Tails running behind and a letter from Dr. Eggman which said that he was going to take over the world or something of the like.
