Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Preview: Shadow the Hedgehog is not necessarily the game you’d expect Sega to make after the stunning success of games such as Sonic Heroes and Sonic Mega Collection. Although it looks and plays fairly similarly to the former, albeit with only the one character at a time, it features anti-hero Shadow who instead of offing bad guys with a simple jump on their head is packing what looks suspiciously like a high calibre Desert Eagle pistol. The image of a Sonic the Hedgehog lookalike using such a realistic piece of hardware is an oddly disturbing one and rather sours initial moments with the game. Luckily though the rest of the game reveals itself to be a more traditionally wholesome title as Shadow runs, jumps and err... shoots his way through levels. In a nod to games such as Prince of Persia, Shadow can also manipulate time to his advantage and unleash the explosive "Chaos Blast" move. He can also make use of a variety of different vehicles including motorcycles, jeeps and alien spacecraft and pick up and use handy objects like streetlamps as weapons. The choice of whether to turn to evil during the course of the game seems a bit out of a place for a Sonic game, although its not clear exactly how evil the game actually allows you to get. It’s not exactly GTA: Emerald City but it’s still rather odd to see such an iconic series take such an unwarranted trip to the Dark Side. -- Harrison Dent This preview is based on an incomplete version of the game; features or problems mentioned above may not appear in the finished game.

 Rating:  - A fun game but flaws stop it from being greatAs a lifelong Sonic fan, who never played on the 3d games until fairly recently, my mind was blown apart by the fact that a popular character was getting his own game with added firepower, something I always wondered about for years, whether that would work in a Sonic game. Needless to say it's not perfect but it works pretty well when you get the hang of it, much like the entire series in general. You can run and shoot, even though it's not accurate, but its great fun to be speeding towards obstacles and rather than trying to avoid them you blast through them! The more accurate way of shooting when confronted with enemies you have to destroy is to jump and start firing, Shadow will hover in mid-air whilst you fire your shots which ...

I love almost every other thing to do with sonic. This isn't one of the best games they made, it's just boring, and too unlike any other sonic games. If you also like sonic games too, believe me, there is still no reason to buy it, thats what I did, and I wish I hadn't. Buy sonic Heroes (really cool), or if you have a gamecube, sonic adventure 2 battle. Rating: - Is Shadow the new Sonic?Ok, I admit, when i first saw this game i thought it would be the death of the sonic franchise. I've played Sonic games all my life, from his humble beginings on the Sega Megadrive to Sonic Adventure II on Gamecube. So when i first saw this i thought Sega had shot themselves in the foot (literaly). But i was proved wrong. My little brother, a huge sonic fan, brought his copy around yesterday and i was quite impressed. Shadows' game has got an edgyer, more adult feel to it, with light swearing and more violence than you'd expect. It still feels like a sonic though, Shadow speeds through levels at blistering pace, and jumping on enemys is still an options along with ofcourse, collecting chaos emeralds and gold rings. But thats about it, ... Read More: Rating: - a brilliant gameShadow is a brilliant game for younger and older children, the graphics are excellent and the storyline is rather exciting. There are a wide range of weapons and environments and the two player mode is very good.In a way its quite different to the other sonic the hedgehog games as this game is darker and eviler.The game can be quite challenging in places and confusing. i found it rather annoying that you have a very small amount of ammo/hits with your weapon. overall this is a very good game and i would recommend it. Rating: - shadow the hedgehog.I got this game after seeing all the adds for it online and aside from the occasional misfire or ackward targeting of the weapons in the game and the side character Charmy Bee ( God, I hate that bee!!!), I absolutly loved this game!!! Theres just so many different ways to complete it with all the different weapons to use and levels to get through not to mention that the graphics are sweet!! I had a blast playing this and still do on 2-player with other people. What I hate hearing is all these people who keep saying...."Oh I hate this game! Sonic shouldn't have guns and sonic shouldn't hurt people and sonic shouldn't be so dark and angsty and sonic this, sonic that....Well fine!! Don't give SONIC guns or a dark attitude and make him violent and swear ... Read More: |
