A HUGE dissapointment

I was so exited about this game when I Iheard about it, but when I went to the game's website I was a little shocked to see a picture of Shadow holding a 9mm. Then I figured that firearms sort of fit Shadow's personality. Then I read the rating and content description to find that it contained mild language. This was shocking to, so I hoped that cursing would come out of only Shadow's mouth. My little brother rented the game, and we tried it out. Now I don't mind cursing, but to hear it come out of the mouths of our favorite sonic character was just plain disturbing. Shadow was an exeption, but when I heard Sonic say "d!@m they got away" it was just to much. I guess Sonic and friends took an intrest in "South Park",were desperate for money forged drivers lisences and got jobs as bus drivers for the local middle school, or Sega was desperate to keep sonic from being thought of as a dorky, childidish game franchise and thought the addition of cursing would help. It probably made it worse for many. The use of firearms by Shadow was a good idea, but Sega overdid it. They took away the high speed twisted gamplay we know and love and replaced it with a Grand Theft Auto like shooting game. It's like When a rock band adds keyboards to widen their sound but instead make them the driving force of their music, which just makes it worse. The Gameplay is no good either. The bad camra angles can be dealt with by using the right anolog stick to control the camra. When you get to high speeds (which happens rarely) you will often run into small enemies you can't see when your running fast, and lose 10 rings. The homing attacks are inacurate and will often have you throwing yourself off a ledge. Worst off all if you chose the hero quest you can't attack soldires on your side. Even when they are ordered to kill you you still get dark points if you attack them in self defense. You may like the game but I suggest that you rent the game first to see if you like it.

A little better than ok

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...

Not as good as I hoped but not as bad as I feared

Let's get one thing straght. Half of the moon wa blown off in Sonic Adventure 2. What do you see first in the game? Shadow standing in front of the moon at night. And the moon? Not even a SCRATCH!!! Also, at the end of SA2, Shadow lost one of his bracelets... well here he has them both. Look past the errors and you'll see a deeply average game. Shadow moves at mediocre speed, shooting enemies with a poorly rendered gun that runs out of ammo faster than you could say "This sawks"! But wait! Does Shadow really suck? Is it just a joke from SEGA? A joke that sucks up money from innocent Sonic fans? In many ways... well YEAH!!! Shadow just isn't ready for his own game. Knuckles really should have gotten his own game. In leet-speak: "Shadow is teh n00b 2nd Knux pwns him!!11!!1"

The graphics are very... average. While it looks good, there are faults. The animation for instance, is gorgeous during the CG movies but when in the game or while watching in-game movies, the animation is HORRIBLE!!! Also, none of the human characters animatwe well and none of them even have a shadow. A bit awkward watching the president walk in the White House. Walking in a wooden manner and having no shadow. Buh. Basically, everyone is terribly animated. A bit of a shame after the flawless animation and quality of Shadow's better bigger brother Sonic Heroes. So, to sum it up: The leads look well but animate crappy and all of the humans look like dog food.

The sound sucks. Crappy crappy crappy and just plain crappy voices with repeated effects and nice-enough music. To sum it up: The sound su-ucks!

Basically, everything about this game is painfully average. The speed, the guns the sound and everything else. But since Shadow and Rouge don't start dating (Knuckles and Rouge fit better together.) this gets 6/10. Dissapointment. Not y'all, get back to playing Metal Gear Solid 3... I am... when I get it... and that is unlikely... just start playing Sonic Heroes while whining about why SEGA did this to you.

6/10.
Shadow sucks and his game does as well. But they are really good at sucking.

The Dark Incarnation of Sonic. Get to know how I got an idea of buying this game

Glossary:
K-Zone: Kid's magazine for the Philippines and Australia

Recess, Open courts, I was with my 2nd best friend Vitto and his friend Paolo; we were talking about games lots of stuff until he mentioned Shadow the Hedgehog. I asked him some questions. I said to him, "When I was reading a K-Zone in the game guru page, I saw Shadow the Hedgehog game, and I saw a picture that he was driving a motorcycle." He said, "Yeah! He can do that" "He can carry guns?" I asked. "That's right!" Paolo answered. Vitto and I were so before amazed with Sonic Heroes until Paolo mentioned Shadow the Hedgehog.

Not what I expected

This game is absolutely for the younger gamer. I have never owned a Sonic game, but the box looks like some of the more exciting games out there. I feel cheated.

I'm not a gamer, but my 5 year old son loves his PS2 and is a big Sonic fan. We bought this because he loves Sonic Heroes and Sonic Riders. This game isn't a patch on them! Also I was quite shocked to hear the character say "Damn! not here!" every now and again. So even though my boy loves the game, we try and discourage him from playing it too often because of this.

(@_@) I'm Confused !! I rate this 2.5

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.

Although I have yet to play this game, and am dying to, I think Sega went a little overboard here. Sonic games, guns, and cars just don't mix. Not even if the user of the guns and driver of the cars is Shadow. Still, it looks like a cool game. From what I see, this game happens just a little time after Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and is the game where we will finnaly find out all of Shadow's past. Apparently, an alien force comes to Earth, and strike a deal with Shadow. If he gets the seven Chaos Emeralds, the aliens will tell him everything about his past, and Maria. Similar to SA2B's famous phrase; 'Sayonara, Shadow the Hegehog...', this game holds a phrase as well. Shadow will say in a confused tone: 'Who am I?' Apparently, you switch from Sonic's side to the aliens' side until the end, where you must ultimately choose whoto join. Hopefully Hyper Shadow is in the game. Overall, 4 stars, or an 8/10. No guns or cars, and it would be a perfect 5 stars.
