Summary: flat out underated 2008-11-11
Comment: Shadow the hedgehog is a good game. the only problem i see is the different versions. the xbox and ps2 versions are bad, the xbox has no co-op and the ps2 has slow framrate. but the gamecube version fixes these problems
people complain about the following problems: slow framerate, poor controls, guns, swearing, vehicals. let me say this now... THE PROBLEMS ARE NOT THAT BAD!!!!!!!
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.
the controls are FINE! i see nothing wrong with them. the exception is the homing attack. it can kill you once or twice but that's it. the new speeds just over loads their brain so they can adjust to whats happening, but the common person can adjust.
now for the guns, YOU CAN CHOSE TO USE THEM OR NOT! FWI, you don't have to use them you know! there is only 1 or 2 levels that mak you use them, but its in a certain mission. if it's that bad, skip the level all togther. the replay value so high here, you can do all most all the levels without guns. IT'S NOT THAT BIG OF DEAL!!!
now the swearing problem. true it's not "family appropiet" like it should be, but if you're a hard core player, it's awsome. it gives the game edge and life.
Finally the vehicals. again like the guns, YOU CAN CHOSE TO USE THEM OR NOT! but again, 1 or 2 levels make you use them, but they're not stupid vehicals like a sports car. they're cool vehicals like an alien bird or hover disk.
if you're over 10 years old, consider this game, for it's worth the time and money.

Comment: My 7 year old grandson thinks the game is really great. He had been wanting it and we found it on Amazon and ordered it. He talks about the game all the time.

Summary: I really loved this and can't understand why everyone else hates it. 2008-01-16
Comment: I'm a huge Sonic fan. I grew up with my Genesis playing Sonic 1, 2, 3, Sonic and Knuckles alongside with random games with SNES. 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. And I have to say, this is one of the good ones.
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? Let's check. Sonic Heroes. 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). 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). So, why is Shadow the Hedgehog fairing so horribly when all you have to compare it to are those two atrocities?!
Honestly, this is one of my favorite Sonic games, in second place right under Sonic Adventure 2. The game attempts to be much more mature than some other Sonic titles. Shadow says curses, he uses guns, he's aggressive and he's not very nice. 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. I admired the game for trying to grow up a little and to stop being so childish like most of the others.
Two of the main reasons people enjoy complaining about this game. Guns and Shadow. People don't think guns belong in Sonic games, and many fans think Shadow is an angsty emo copy of Sonic. That's really just opinion, but it just so happens to be the majority's opinion, it seems. 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! I was disappointed to hear that. 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.
About the guns, one complaint wasn't only they don't belong, but they are difficult to use. I beat this game, all ten required endings and plus the final ending. I very rarely had a problem with the aiming of the guns. Hello, the game has an auto-aim feature, the rocket launcher even has heat-seeking. They were also very useful. 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.
Call me a fanboy for anti-heroes - hey, I admit it, I love Spawn, The Punisher and Batman. 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.

Summary: (@_@) I'm Confused !! I rate this 2.5 2008-01-12
Comment: From the beginning of the game I was confused as to what my objective was. 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. Enemies ? Which ones are the Enemies ? It keeps cycling from helping Good to Bad. I'm guessing the game focuses on which side you wanna take ... The Good or the Evil. Every level is pretty confusing that your just gonna have to guess your way through each Level. I'd pick something else if I knew this game wasn't very good.

Summary: A little better than ok 2007-10-22
Comment: My son loves the game, My problem is that he is only 8 and I find the game a little demonic. 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...
