cmon, shadows game wasn't bad at all. sure there were glitches here and there, but it's common for other sonic team games. also sure it may technically not be a true sonic game but shadow is part of sonic, so are team chaotix and other characters in the game. but the game can be fun with branching story lines, kinda like backwards legend of zelda time line where the end of ocarina of time is beating ganon and becoming a kid again, but the games rely on different outputs. in this case other games rely on only one game ending but there are still non canon storylines by playing levels in different ways adding high replayability. and yes... shadow has a gun. but you don't HAVE to use it, shadow also has homing attacks and other sonicish moves. finally, he curses. yeah the game was aimed at an older audience, but may i remind you of eggmans quotes in lost world? eating their filthy black hearts, burning everything they love in front of them, strangling, and punching ice. that was just, wow, and that was E or E10+, this game is labeled T so we know what to expect. so in the end, do you really think of it as bad?

(disclaimer this was made in a rush so the creator may not have a good argument in some peoples opinions but he still likes the game the point is what YOU think and focus in how every opinion belongs to it's own person)

I did have some fun playing the game a while ago. Most of the time the darkness felt tact on though in my opinion. I mean, Shadow did sound pretty forced to me every time he did swear. Plus the fact you never learn much about the villain. Most Sonic villains at least have something to set them apart. Black Doom was just kind of there for the sake of being there.. Especially since his plan doesn't really make that much sense when he could have carried it out a long time ago. Really, I don't mind a darker Sonic game. But I think they should make sure the darkness is actually a good addition, instead of randomly adding a motorcycle and guns.

It's not a perfect game and it takes itself waay to seriously. That being said, I really enjoyed this game. The guns were fun. The dark tone and environments were very cool. Also, just a small correction, the game is rated E10+, not quite T.

Mecha Leo : I don't know if it used to be T or not, but the copy I own is rated E10+. It is a rather mature E10+ game though, I will say. With all of the explosions and minor but frequent swearing.

Let me count the ways:
I just thought the game was overstaying its welcome when you had to complete the game 10 TIMES to get the true ending. Sure, you had to Beat Sonic Heroes 4 time through the exact same levels, but at least the objectives were different, and you didn't have to play through it 10 TIMES! Speaking of which, all of the endings (besides the final story) are all non-canon! All that hard work for nothing because the final story doesn't even continue the other stories (actually, Final Haunt and Black Comet might go with the final ending, but it STILL makes you go through the game 6 more times)!

Another thing is that you can betray Black Doom one minute, and the next level he'll act like nothing happened.

The level design put me to sleep when pretty much every level was grey and purple, as well as having to do Westopolis 10 times because it's the first stage!

I love Sonic Music. I love every sonic game's soundtrack... except this one. 90% of Shadow the Hedgehog's Soundtrack was boring and didn't stand out from the other tracks. the only ones I liked were the vocal tracks that play during the credits,Cosmic Fall and Lava Shelter, and they were, IMO, "okay".

I don't like the mission motif that you need to do to finish the game. Team Chaotix did it too, but you only needed to do the stage ONCE. In Shadow the Hedgehog, you will HAVE to do more than 14 missions if you want to beat the game.

The only reason I don't like Sonic Heroes is that the control is slippery (and the special stages, but that is beside the point). They bring the Slippery controls back at full force in Shadow the Hedgehog.

The moon is whole, even though this is supposed to take place after Sonic Adventure 2...

Well, that's why I don't like Shadow the Hedgehog. If you like it, whats wrong with you? ?I respect your opinion.

About the whole E10 and Teen argument. The game was meant to be rated teen and was going to be even darker. If you notice, every time you kill a soldier, they don't die. They just kinda stay on the ground and are knocked out. That's why they don't bleed. The original version would have had blood and would have been rated teen, plus you would kill the soldiers.

Another thing I didn't like myself is the allegiance system in general.. Being able to choose who you side with is pretty cool. But you still can't control why Shadow does it. So you end up trying to help Eggman in some levels, only for Shadow to turn on him and try to kill him later on.
I did enjoy the game when I first played it, but there are a lot of flaws I look back on now.. Plus I don't think anyone can even try to justify the worst level in the game. The one where you have to kill all the artificial Chaos to go down one path.

It was decent. The plot seemed nothing like a Sonic Game, but playing it (Without the guns, lol) made it feel like one.

Ignore the post above me it's from a perma banned spammer (sighs)




I didn't mind the game too much, The only Personal Issue I had with shadow the Hedgehog the video game, was that shadow used guns. I mean what the heck was up with him using guns? I mean, It makes no sense what so ever. You never see Sonic using guns or particular axe's or something like that, and Shadow is like his faster, and more darker clone(in my opinion) So the whole part of him using guns is out of my league, but Hey, The game was overall pretty good, And I'm sure me and other shadow fans would like to see him get in more games( Sorry sonic, I know your the main star and everything, but that had to come out. )

Today I have finally reached phase 4 of becoming a well known and respected member! Anyways...
I think we'd be able to accept a sequel to Shadow the Hedgehog if it had more variety and was able to continue from the last games to make just 1 canon REAL ending and a bunch more optional "what if" storylines and endings. Besides Shadow has sorta been missing for a while.

I wouldn't say that he isn't bad at all. He may be just the "opposite" on Sonic, but he is pretty unique to me. It's a shame he's basically killed off of the current storylines of the current era.

Pacman, not to correct you or anything.. But I'm pretty sure the topic is about the videogame titled Shadow the Hedgehog. Not Shadow the Hedgehog himself.

The character isn't bad...his game however is very bad. It suffers from bad level design, below average control, tedious game-play, bad voice acting, and bad story. The above stuff can surprisingly be overlooked by people...but the absolute terrible thing is that you have to play the game 10 whole times just to actually beat it.

I love that game! I bought it a few months ago and I loved it. Shadow the Hedgehog is a really great Character, and i loved that they put him into his own game.

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
