I know that this game has guns,swearing what if your kid just wants to get the game because they want to know if Shadow is good or evil. If you're just getting mad with all the guns and swearing oh the heck with it!!! But as it said what if your kid just wants to know if Shadow is good or evil. Actually only the player who is playing the game can choose Shadow's future of good or evil. In hero missions you can play as Sonic or one of his friends, Tails,Knuckles,Espio, you name it. During dark missoins Black Dooms Third eye (Domm`s Eye) will help you on your way to take over the Earth as the alien black arms army will help you.If you do normal missions you just need to get to the goal ring with out killing anyone and find the chaos emeralds to find out Shadows past.

Walk into the mystery...

Such negative reviews... I beg to differ. I was always a huge Shadow the Hedgehog fan, and the idea of a videogame dedicated solely to him was thrilling. This game is packed with thrilling missions, intriguing plot twists, and brand new characters. Black Doom, head of the alien force called the 'Black Arms', appears in front of Shadow just as his soldiers land in Westopolis, merely a holographic image beamed out of his thrid eye, Doom's Eye. Claiming to have recieved a promise from Shadow long ago, he orders him to collect all 7 Chaos Emeralds. You hold ultimate power over which path our tormented rebel will choose, either siding with Black Doom and his army, or aiding Sonic and company. A neat trick I dicovered is that while having a hero guide/player accompying Shadow, a second GameCube controller can control them. They can't use weapons however, and won't get far without Shadow nearby. So, your choice. Save the world...
or destroy it.

"Who Am I...And why can't I remember anything?" Shadow the Hedgehog

Before I begin, I wish to say that I was very much impressed by this game for GameCube. I have to admit that this is the first Sega/Sonic game I have ever owned. And it didn't disappoint me.

Plot: 5 out of 5 stars.
The unique aspect of this video game is that the plot is extensive and non-linear. The definite highlight is that you are able to choose your paths, whether you will stay with Black Doom on the dark side (along with other casted characters) or rival legendary Sonic on the light side. Each progressing level offers three separate missions finishing that stage, whether destroying something specific, or finding a certain room. You are free to choose your choice and that affects to which ending or level you will travel to.
Quoted from the instruction manual:
" `Who am I...and why can't I remember anything?' It's that black hedgehog that shares the all too familiar silhouette of sonic...he's Shadow the Hedgehog.
Some fifty years ago, this `Ultimate Life Form' was the result of the army's secret research. With no records of what transpired, Shadow's true character is shrouded in darkness and even his own memory cannot serve as a key to unlock the mystery; there is only emptiness..."

Graphics: 4 out of 5 stars
I was stunned by the smooth, flowing graphics of this game. I was delighted to have theatrical moments and cut scenes to reveal Shadow's character. Graphics are an important aspect of any game. From the Glyphic Canyons, to inside computers, to Westopolis; each level was full of depth and challenge. Colours and methods of movement were perfectly suited to the game play and I felt as if I was truly exploring the alternate world with Shadow.

Audio: 4 out of 5 stars
While most of the music was not enough to stand on its own, it still added the proper background to each scene, each level. While some sound tracks were slightly familiar from other Sonic games I've seen being played, they made this experience all the better.
However, the cast of voices were very impressive. Each character shown had his or her own personality and voice to give Shadow advice or command. You'll find in this game, fans of Sonic, past characters to help Shadow for light or dark. You'll enjoy this game through watching as much as you do playing it.

Game Play: 4 out of 5 stars
I would have given this a higher standard, but sometimes the camera would disappoint me. The camera does not offer a option to look through Shadow's eyes to view the upcoming landscapes, which would have been much more helpful. It would occasionally be difficult to spot enemies from behind you or to the side and that often made me slightly frustrated. Other than this factor, many views officered wonderful actions in the midst of battle. The controls may be a bit difficult at first, but it takes not time at all to get used to them and into the heart of the game.

Key Features:
Many items and actions are included in this game to give it five stars from myself. Among them include:
- A wide assortment of weapons to use or to unlock.
- Special abilities to get further than any human character ever could. I especially enjoyed two abilities: Chaos Control and Chaos Blast, which let Shadow to manipulate time and fast-forward through the stage, or to wipe out everything within a 20-Yard range.
- A wide assortment of characters that contribute to Shadow's recollection of the past.
- Multiple paths and endings that add up to unlimited replay value.
- `Secret keys' included in each level to unlock rooms. I haven't quite finished this myself!
- Multiple modes of transportation offered to you for both the light and darks sides. (For example, the Black Hawk, Air Saucer, GUN vehicle, Jump vehicle, and more)

Rating:
Now, I have seen many reviews ranting about this. The game is rated E for everyone and for ages ten and up. This rating is more than fine for most. This is what I can guarantee you the game will or will not have:
-There is no gore.
- Yes, there is violence, but in fantasy terms. Guns or other weapons may be used but don't show anything severe. Most ways of battle are used by Shadow's special abilities.
- Yes, there is the occasional curse word. The only words I have EVER heard in the is game is `damn' and `hell'. The characters may occasionally say something along these lines when something dire or extreme happens. For example: the characters running into a hated scientist, or Shadow falling off a ledge into a void of darkness below. Obviously, this game is for mature gamers who will not judge or be influenced by the word `damn'.

Overall, I highly recommend this game to any GameCube owner. I, myself , enjoyed Shadow the Hedgehog very much and I am glad to have it upon my shelf.

Don't listen to kids who say its to short!!!!!

I have been on millions of game websites and all of the reviews for, "Shadow the Hedgehog" are low. I disagree. "Shadow the Hedgehog" was the best video game I have ever played. 1.Its easy to master,2.It had a different plot, and 3.It had SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG!!! Before I type anything else I have to make it clear that I am very obsessed with Shadow. I love the black and red speed demon and always will. Now I know what your saying, "She just likes this game because of Shadow", and that is almost right. But, I also hate Sonic the hedgehog with all my heart. Yea, I know if he wasnt around Shadow wouldnt be either (or would he?)but he's an annoying blue pest. I also know that "Sonic Heroes" got some pretty lame reviews from fans to but I disagree on that to. "Sonic Heroes" was a great game! It had a nice gameplay, good graphics, and all around my second favorite game after "Shadow the Hedgehog" I just want to say that all those "Sonic fans" out there that dont like "Shadow the hedgehog" because of Shadow, are ignorant. I hate Sonic, but still like the games he's in. All in all "Shadow the Hedgehog" is a great game and would be enjoyed by all.

This ERSB rating should be a more mature rating.

What is the point of all the swearing in this game? I played with my 10 year old son for 10 minutes, and heard expletives about 10 times. I was also surprised by the amount of violence - very non-Sonic like.

I'm absolutely ticked off by this game, and the trash the makers of Sonic have pushed on us. I'm sorry we bought it. I am not raising my kids in a gutter, and this game belongs there! And it will not stay in my house!!!

What a mistake - it needs a recall or rerating

I brought this home for my 10 year olds birthday last night. He'd been asking for it for a while and we've enjoyed the rest of the titles in the series - chao's are cute.

This game creeps me out. Badly. This is the only game I've gotten for my kids that I'll have to take away from them.

Ok parents - imagine your young one sitting in front of a game where the cute game character is running around whith a gun in his hand while the alien invader is saying over and over "shoot the soldier" in a creepy voice. A shoot em up movie is one thing but having a kid sitting with a game system practicing how bad he can be while shooting up the defenders of earth just is over the top in my book. I was so appalled by the basis of the game that I didn't notice the language mentioned in other reviews. That is not my complaint about this one. Having my child interacting with a game that is whispering "Luke, come to the dark side of the force" is.

I think this one whould have been rated M and filed away with grand theft auto.

All you Shadow lovers out there! This is the game!!!
