Shadow the Hedgehog is a change from the old Sonic form, but the end product is a game hurt by bad controls and graphics
This time around, Shadow is trying to uncover the secrets of his past. He sets off in his new adventure with a gun(thats right a gun). If your a die-hard Sonic fan like me, this sounds kind of weird that shadow is packing heat. On his adventure Shadow will use different vehicles, and moves, including his homing jump.
The biggest problem I had with the game is it's horrible controls. Aiming is a pain in the neck. Since shooting is a new element to the game, the aiming system(or the lack of one) hurts this games appeal.
Graphics are also dated. The look of the game is darker and more murky. The graphics dont look much better than the old Dreamcast games, or the Sonic Heros game from this gen.
It's hard to recomend this game, even for Sonic fans. This game lacks polish, it's more frustrating than fun.
