Walk into the mystery...
Such negative reviews... I beg to differ. I was always a huge Shadow the Hedgehog fan, and the idea of a videogame dedicated solely to him was thrilling. This game is packed with thrilling missions, intriguing plot twists, and brand new characters. Black Doom, head of the alien force called the 'Black Arms', appears in front of Shadow just as his soldiers land in Westopolis, merely a holographic image beamed out of his thrid eye, Doom's Eye. Claiming to have recieved a promise from Shadow long ago, he orders him to collect all 7 Chaos Emeralds. You hold ultimate power over which path our tormented rebel will choose, either siding with Black Doom and his army, or aiding Sonic and company. A neat trick I dicovered is that while having a hero guide/player accompying Shadow, a second GameCube controller can control them. They can't use weapons however, and won't get far without Shadow nearby. So, your choice. Save the world...
or destroy it.
Reiner and Me are Right
Before I write my review, I want to share with you all a review written about this game by Reiner of GameInformer magazine to prove to you that I am not the only one that thinks that this game sucks:
"Wait... this game is mislabeled. This isn't Shadow the Hedgehog. It's that miserable Broken the Hedgehog! With the scent of a dirty diaper permeating from his speedy wake, this killer of classic gaming franchises does what he does best. He sucks. Not since Bubsy have I seen a mascot-based action game corner the market in unresponsive controls, disastrous level designs, inconsistent framerates, traumatizing character designs, and (my personal favorite) just being flat out broken. At the very least, this game has its place in the history of gaming for that. Shame on you, Sega."
Now for my review: If you have any sense of self-worth or decency, don't buy this game. If you do, it's just a waste of your money. You ask, "Why isn't this review longer?" Frankly, because Reiner already said what needed to be said. Listen.
Guns,swords? Has the world gone MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know that this game has guns,swearing what if your kid just wants to get the game because they want to know if Shadow is good or evil. If you're just getting mad with all the guns and swearing oh the heck with it!!! But as it said what if your kid just wants to know if Shadow is good or evil. Actually only the player who is playing the game can choose Shadow's future of good or evil. In hero missions you can play as Sonic or one of his friends, Tails,Knuckles,Espio, you name it. During dark missoins Black Dooms Third eye (Domm`s Eye) will help you on your way to take over the Earth as the alien black arms army will help you.If you do normal missions you just need to get to the goal ring with out killing anyone and find the chaos emeralds to find out Shadows past.
