All Hail Shadow! 'Nuff said.

User Rating: 8 | Shadow the Hedgehog (Player's Choice) GC
As you may not know, i actually like SA-esque games. Shadow gets much to much low ratings, it deserves a higher score than most people give it. the gameplay is easy to learn, the graphics were decent for a GC game (although SA2B's graphics were better), and not to mention CRUSH 40 OVER LOAD IN MUSIC = WIN!

Gameplay: 7/10
The gameplay is easy to adapt to, the addition of guns makes the game slightly more complex than SADX or SA2B or heroes, but it's nothing bif. the boss fights are fun, but can get repetitive, and occasionally you will need to solve a puzzle involving a certian weapon or vehicle. now, progressing in this game works a little differently, most levels have 3 ways to clear, Hero mission, Evil mission, and Neutral mission. (some levels exclude a mission)
You will go to a ifferent stage for each mission, thus the level map. You must beat all 5 endings to unlock the TRUE ending.

Plot: 8.5/10
This games plot was decent, but slightly predictable. it will, however, keep you intrested with its load of cutscens and variations on the story.

Graphics: 5.5/10
The graphics were decent but no where NEAR what could've been done on the GC. Its between SADX and SA2B quality graphics were a slight dissapointment.

Music: 9.7/10
This games music was awesum. its the knida stuff that makes you wanna dance like a mad freak. My favorite tracks were I am (all of me) and Never Turn Back.

Overall: 8/10
This game has decent Graphics and game play, a above average plot, and EPIK WIN music. i hereby give it an 8/10
