Da bomb
I have collected all the Sonic games over the years and this is #1. Sghadow has forgoten his past and doesn't know if he should take hero or dark path. Attack aliens or G.U.N Soilders with homing attacks or shoot them. You get to play through the game multiple times.

Zip through the stage with viechles and use special moves.The power of Chaos control to skip portions of the stage or the power of Chaos blast to get rid of what is in your way.

Ok,here is what bothers me, alot of people are bothered by the swearing. Alot os parents are bothered. My mom doesn't care really because they are very light swears. The D word and the
H word.Even though Shadow says the D word throughout the whole game, he only says the H Word 2 times in the WHOLE Game!!!!

I have been waiting for this game for over a year!!! Shadow is my favorite character. He is cool. Hopefully Sega will make a Shadow the hedgehog 2. i would rate this game A+.

I really reccomend this game. You will love it. I have had it for over a month and i am still addicted to it.

~ Good Luck!~

Sorry to dissapoint
Ok let me start off with I am a huge Shadow fan and was really looking foward to this game.When i bought it and played it the first time i thought it was a pretty good game. after awhile i got bored with doing pretty much the same thing level after level. you run, then you pick up a gun and shoot somebody,you die and swear. i mean seriously, even sonic swears. I think the best part of this game is the story. i really bought this game to find out more about my favorite sonic character, shadow. some of the cutscenes (movies between the levels) are in amazing CG anamation while others are a piece of junk. another problem with the game is you work really hard to get all A's on every level and what do you get for it? nothing. Overall you should borrow it from a friend or rent it before buying. For all the 10 year olds who are saying "THIS GAME IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!! BUY IT NOW!!" To you i say try a real sonic game like Sonic adventure battle:2 or sonic CD and then tell me how great this game is.

Good game! But.....
I am 14, going on 15 soon, and I have always loved Sonic, but people MUST realize that this is NOT Sonic! This is Shadow, a completely different game and character. Its loaded with guns,cursing, and violence. I respect that, due to shadow's outlook on life, but the only thing is that SEGA should have kept it rated T for teens because many parents arent happy about their kids saying 'damn' or 'hell' but if it was rated T, it would get a better review because people would know what to expect! You must realize this opens up Shadow's past! SO many teens love him, Sonic if more of a character for younger kids(my opinion)
