My name is connor and i was going to get this, until i used my brains. i read some reveiws and according to what i read: bad language, swords and guns, unusefull bad music. one of the reveiws said bad language is every where, that really got me MAD! i'm a christan and dont think that i dissagree with all games. i have a cube and own quite a bit of games including lord of the rings, and two other rated T's the rest are E's. i also own sonic adventure battle 2 and its great! but sega has gone too far and neads to stop NOW! becouse there are angry parents that wish they wouldn't of bought this game. so my advise is to buy a older sega game.
Good, but too short!

Shsdow the hedgehog was one of my favorite games this year for Nintendo Gamecube. The graphics were incredible, the story line was superb, and the gameplay was flawless. There was only one problem with it, IT'S TOO SHORT! I beat the game in 2 hours. I'm not even a good gamer, but I've beaten all the Sonic games on Nintendo Gamecube, which were all pretty good. This game is not as good as Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, but it is definitely a 5 star title.
A slap in the face to Sonic fans everywhere.

Are you a long-term Sonic fan? Would you like to feel like Sega shafted you in favour of casual gamers and GTA fans? Here's your game. A transparent, cynical, cold-hearted, rushed cash-grab, an inferior version of existing Sonic games with a blatantly tacked-on gun system to sell to the OMGLOLGUNZRCOOL crowd. Buy Sonic Rush instead; that's a Sonic game. I'm not offended by the language or the violence; I'm offended by the lack of respect this game shows to the Sonic franchise.
Very good and fun!

I got this game for Xmas, and was a little nervous, since some reviewers did not like it much. However, as soon as I started to rip up enemies in stage 1, I knew I was going to have a lot of fun. And even though it is Sonic the Hedgehog, this game is a little darker and dirtier, with a few expletives appearing here and there. Shadow especially likes the "d" word, and you'll hear it from a few others in the game. Even Sonic lets one slip at one part. The final part that makes this game so good is that you get to control the way the story plays out. You can pick whose side you're on. I think there are a total of ten endings, plus the "true" ending, which is what is really going to happen. All in all, it is a great game, but I wouldn't buy it for someone who is under ten years of age. So, go get it, and have fun doing whatever you want with it.

This game is fairly good. Unlike most Sonic games in which you need to home attack an enemy (with great danger of dieing) you get to use guns,vehicles,ect. Unfortunatly, guns have very limited ammo. For some reason swords/street signs break after whacking 5 times. Every charecter swears, which is appalling. Here are the pros and cons of the game.
Pros:
nice graphics
theme song is good if your a rock fan
other charecters help you
projectile weapons
good level design
GUN and Black Arms vehicles
you find out a lot about Shadow
Cons:
swearing
very limited ammo
can be dificult
Finally, a game for my favorite character!

This is about one of my favorite games of all time! Finally, my favorite character get a game all for himself! The graphics are good, the music is really good (except the almost dead one...)and the multiple endings make it so you can play over and over again. For me, some of the story was sad, and others satisfying, but it even after you finish all the stories, there is one last awesome story level! When I finally finished it all, I was happy that he got to know most of his past, but I was also upset because I finally beat it and I had nothing left to do, but in my heart, I hope that more people will appreciate games like this and like them more. This is why I gave this game 5 stars :)
This deserves more then "roxors"

This game is cool. When I first heard of it I thought, "I gotta practice my gunplay before fall!" Its funny that just because they can use the word "damn" they overuse it so much.
I hate it when the characters pop in and help you with thigns you don't want to do. And now for something completely diferent, I am really REALLY ticked off that they replaced the original cast. They better get a new eggman and get the original voices back. The awsome gunplay makes up for the sucky voices. Now to make you sure this is a kid's reveiw: THIS GAME R0x0rs. there I said it.
Great, Fantastic, awesome, spectacular game, bad rating esrb.

I dont no what the people in esrb were thinking, rating this game. It should be rated t or even m 4 just language. I understand that people like me- im 13- can see, read, or hear that language and not get freaked out about it. But 10 year olds?, this game is a little hard to understand,and has cursing it should not be 4 anyone under at least 10. I guess no one ever reads the ratings.
mom walked in and saw me playing it, unfortunately saw me die, (When Shadow dies, he says D*#@) she didnt aprove. A Great game 4 those over 13.
I am a catholic, but It is still ok to play if you dont freak out about bad language.
IT IS STILL AWESOME THOUGH!!!!
GET THIS GAME NOW

THIS GAME IS SO AWESOME.
I HAVE LIKE 100 GAMES AND THE ONLY GAME THAT KEEPS THIS GAME FROM #1 IS SUPER SMASH BROS. SONIC IS A TOTAL PIECE OF JUNK (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SONIC RIDERS). SONIC GAMES ARE ONLY COOL IF THEY HAVE SHADOW IN THEM, AND NOW THEY HAVE A WHOLE GAME WHERE YOU CAN ONLY PLAY AS HIM.
AND BY THE WAY THE MUISC ROCKS.
The best Sonic game EVER!!!

I have heard almost no positive reviews for this game yet it was the best game in the Sonic series. Shadow is cooler then Sonic. You can use swords guns and bombs to get rid of anyone who gets in your way. If you don't like it you can stick with the classic homing attack. You can choose to be good like every other Sonic game or shake things up by turning Shadow totally evil. Everyone complained the controls were hard but my 11 year old sister played this game with no trouble. Shadow the Hedgehog is the best Sonic game EVER! Keep your fingers crossed for Shadow the Hedgehog 2.(Sadly that doesn't look very likely.)
