Back then
Shadow the Hedgehog is soooooooo awesome! Yes, cursing! Shooting in a Sonic game, alright!
Right now
..........Back then, I didn't know what I was thinking. A 7 year old who loved Shadow the Hedgehog to death. Now, imagine if Shadow took a poo. Hide it in a barf bag. And keep it away from you. 6 years later, you find it and yeah. Welcome to Shadow the Hedgehog. I must have been very stupid back then to like this game. And I will tell why it's so god damn bad.
Shadow: Where's that DAMN fourth choas emerald!
Charizard98 reviews Shadow the Hedgehog
First of all, the reason why it's bad is the framerate in the first level. And actually, I take the werehog from Sonic Unleashed over Shadow gameplay in Shadow the Hedgehog. Second, the story is okay. But, the storyline is just bad. I'd take Sonic Heroes storyline over it and it's not saying much. Third, the graphics, they are really blocky and I found myself thinking Sonic Heroes graphics were better- Okay, enough comparison. Look at how bad the lighting is at 0:47 :
Now, to talk about the controls. They work pretty good actually. You can use B to use any of the weapons or you get a hold of and B to attack without the gun/weapon. It works decent when you wall jump also. And you can choose which you want to do. Good or Evil. That's about all the positives I can find. Other then that, I'd rather play Unleashed right now. It really is one of the worst Sonic games I've played. I wouldn't call it a Sonic game. More like a bad spin-off of Sonic.
Final Verdict
It's amazing how such a awesome character can star in such a crappy game. It needs more finalizing. It just isn't finished!
OVERALL: 4.5/10
