Shadow the Hedgehog is not the worst game in the Sonic franchise, but it's pretty close. The Shadow character is very unappealing, and I have no clue as to why everyone loves this guy. Obviously the people who like him haven't taken a look at other characters in games, movies, and even TV shows and realized that Shadow is a horrible video game character. This game tries to show some sort of "backstory" that no one cares about, not even me, the big Sonic fan I am. The controls are fine, but the camera always gets in the way. Pointless cursing (I thought this was supposed to be a kids game...), bad gunplay, horrible dialouge, and a bad story all add to the many problems of this game. Here's a little chart I made:
THE GOOD: -Controls are fine -Interesting 3-way story option
THE BAD: -Horrible main character -Bad story -Awful dialouge -Bad gunplay -Pointless cursing
Stay far away from this game, it's not needed.
