It was enough that game was too slow, and too long. But now, Sega has tarnished Sonic with Jason Griffith, a voice actor of who we all know from the most utter piece of crap I have ever seen, Sonic X.
But I do not even have to stress that.
Shadow the Hedgehog is a feeble attempt to get gamers to buy Shadow and think it's cool. The fact of the matter is that it's not cool. It is stupid, repetitive, and just torture to the ears.
This game is about Robotic Shadow (from Sonic Heroes), fifty years after the events on Ark (Shadows's past in SA2), in which he must find the Chaos Emeralds and restore his memory.
In this game, you basically run around and use the homing attack, or the gun if you choose, and "mowing" down enemies. Unfortunately, it's more complicated. Depending on what you do, you can only attack certain enemies, and because this, the game slows down, and gets aggravating quick.
Also, there are over 300 different things in this game to earn, but I doubt that people will have the patience. Even though there is replay value, it really does not make a difference.
The story is by far the corniest crap I have ever seen. We take a deeper look into "Shadow's past", and watch it unveil into something greater. However, I was not particularly interested. I wanted Sonic, not this all but dead character.
The graphics have not improved. Although the CG cut scenes are well rendered, they are far from entertaining. They will explain the storyline, but I did not find them enjoyable. In-game graphics are much like what you would see in Sonic Heroes, despite the fact that Sega claims that there is a new graphics engine.
As for the sound, the music will rock you if you are a fan of Crush 40 or sonic in general, but not so much for anyone else. As for the voice acting, don't stress me on that. It was awful, period. I suppose this is why Nintendo chose not to make Link talk.
Now, do not get me wrong, I am a Sonic fan, and I wish I could say better about this game.
But, I am disappointed to say, that I'm giving it 3/10.
