Shadow The Hedgehog
Shadow The Hedgehog brings back the high-speed action Sonic fans love, from a completely different perspective. They'll become Shadow, a rebel tormented by a dark past. He is struggling to unveil his true identity: Was he created to save humankind or to do the evil bidding of the dark side? His only clues are his own forgotten memories, and those secrets can only be unlocked through the powers of seven Chaos Emeralds.

Shadow The Hedgehog Reviews
the exception is the homing attack. but the gamecube version fixes these problems. but again, 1 or 2 levels make you use them, but they're not stupid vehicals like a sports car. if you're over 10 years old, consider this game, for it's worth the time and money. the new speeds just over loads their brain so they can adjust to whats happening, but the common person can adjust. THE PROBLEMS ARE NOT THAT BAD.
they're cool vehicals like an alien bird or hover disk. there is only 1 or 2 levels that mak you use them, but its in a certain mission. i see nothing wrong with them. now the swearing problem. it gives the game edge and life. Shadow the hedgehog is a good game. true it's not "family appropiet" like it should be, but if you're a hard core player, it's awsome.
now for the guns, YOU CAN CHOSE TO USE THEM OR NOT. again like the guns, YOU CAN CHOSE TO USE THEM OR NOT. Finally the vehicals. to start, the framrate sucks in the ps2, it's a little better in the xbox version, but is almost non existent in the gamecube version. people complain about the following problems: slow framerate, poor controls, guns, swearing, vehicals. let me say this now. the controls are FINE. IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF DEAL.
the only problem i see is the different versions. FWI, you don't have to use them you know. the xbox and ps2 versions are bad, the xbox has no co-op and the ps2 has slow framrate. it can kill you once or twice but that's it. the replay value so high here, you can do all most all the levels without guns. if it's that bad, skip the level all togther.
He talks about the game all the time. He had been wanting it and we found it on Amazon and ordered it. My 7 year old grandson thinks the game is really great.
People don't think guns belong in Sonic games, and many fans think Shadow is an angsty emo copy of Sonic. I grew up with my Genesis playing Sonic 1, 2, 3, Sonic and Knuckles alongside with random games with SNES. The game attempts to be much more mature than some other Sonic titles. Call me a fanboy for anti-heroes - hey, I admit it, I love Spawn, The Punisher and Batman. The game was even supposed to have more cursing in it, but it was edited out so the game could have an E rating, originally having a T before release. Two of the main reasons people enjoy complaining about this game. I love dark themes, I love the higher-level maturity of this game and I LOVE Shadow the Hedgehog, both the character and this game.
About the guns, one complaint wasn't only they don't belong, but they are difficult to use. I'm a huge Sonic fan. Though, he was still in the side game, "Sonic Party", and I *think* you could unlock his deleted cutscenes from the main game by unlocking some bonus points and items in the main story. And I have to say, this is one of the good ones. Sonic Heroes. So, why is Shadow the Hedgehog fairing so horribly when all you have to compare it to are those two atrocities. Hello, the game has an auto-aim feature, the rocket launcher even has heat-seeking.
That was a bad game, but it had some highlights, particularly Team Dark and Team Chaotix (Chaotix was pretty much the main reason to play that game at all, Team Dark only served any good by giving a little more story for Shadow, which I very much enjoyed). Let's check. That's really just opinion, but it just so happens to be the majority's opinion, it seems. I beat this game, all ten required endings and plus the final ending.
Honestly, this is one of my favorite Sonic games, in second place right under Sonic Adventure 2. This doesn't serve any purpose by stating it, but what I mean is, is that I've been playing Sonic games for a long time. I much enjoyed shooting enemies who were floating above a bottomless pit hole, instead of triangle-jumping and homing attacking them and then accidentally plummeting to my early burial. Then, we have Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, which was, in short, arguably the worst Sonic game ever made (which is sad, because it had some good ideas and ruined everything with bad design). I very rarely had a problem with the aiming of the guns. They were also very useful. I was disappointed to hear that. I admired the game for trying to grow up a little and to stop being so childish like most of the others.
I really can't understand why so many people love to take a huge dump on this. What games do we have on our timeline post-Sonic Adventure 2. The game released right after this was Sonic 2006, which featured Shadow without the use of guns (other than mounted guns on vehicles) and then after that, Sonic and the Secret Rings, originally planned to have Shadow in the game, but actually cut him out entirely. Shadow says curses, he uses guns, he's aggressive and he's not very nice. Guns and Shadow.
Enemies. It keeps cycling from helping Good to Bad.
I'm guessing the game focuses on which side you wanna take. From the beginning of the game I was confused as to what my objective was. Which ones are the Enemies.
I run into Sonic who asks me to help him out and then there's some weird star shaped thing with an eye in the middle telling me to destroy the Enemies. The Good or the Evil. I'd pick something else if I knew this game wasn't very good.
Every level is pretty confusing that your just gonna have to guess your way through each Level.
Dark creatures following him around, a black-eye-like monster whispering things to him and yes eventually Sonic does manage to get rid of him, and compared to most games out there, it's pretty tame. My son loves the game, My problem is that he is only 8 and I find the game a little demonic.
