Fun fact: If you unlock hard mode, every stage is treated like Shadow is doing training simulations with the help of GUN, and there's dialogue from every character you can't hear anyone else. One of these bits is the GUN Commander apologizing for how he treated Shadow and LITERALLY INVITING HIM TO A PICNIC WITH HIS GRANDCHILDREN.

Notably, it is actually possible that the memory in this game is not real. In SA2, Gerald's diary reveals that he manipulated Shadow's mind and memories to make him vengeful against humanity, but the memory seen in that game is really a positive one misunderstood, which does not make much sense in that context. My theory is that the temporary amnesia finally got the fake one to trigger, leading to this whole thing.

Really? All he's doing is throat bass. I started using it really early on in voice acting once I learned it in beatboxing. I voice dragon/large/evil characters with it. It sounds exactly like his voice, most voices sound similar when using it, to be honest. If he went to the hospital because of it, he may have been forced to push the voice too hard, too long. It's crazy painful, when I was first starting I did that accidentally, before knowing my limits and getting more stamina. I can only imagine what it would be like voicing an entire game in that voice. Whenever I voice with it, I have to give myself a large amount of rest time so I don't hurt myself. Just to make sure- I'm a bit out of it because I'm sick. I'm not trying to come across as bragging- I'm curious as to what happened, and happy that I have some experience that relates to the situation

As someone who completed this game in his childhood, I honestly feel like the best thing about this game is the lore it adds. Shadow's origins are rather interesting, and confirming that this Shadow is the original is a relief, ever since the mystery was placed during Sonic Heroes. The only other thing I can praise the game for is the alignment system, as a concept. It could have been done better, particularly without having to repeat bosses, cut scenes, or reusing so many assets in general. But having a goal to work toward in the form of multiple endings is a good motivator. Other than that, the game is clunky at best, and frustrating at worst.

SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG: FAMILY GAME OF THE YEAR After the release of the multi-platform Sonic Heroes, everyone questioned what the Sonic series would do next. Would there be a sequel to the new Heroes style? The release of Sonic Adventure 3? Or would it be something really new? Rumors began to circulate when an official Sega poll was put up asking people their first choice of which character in the Sonic franchise they'd like to star in their own game. With choices ranging from the already spun off like Tails and Knuckles, to total nobodies like Espio, the winner of the poll would be none other than Shadow the Hedgehog by a fairly wide margin, the "Ultimate Lifeform" that had stolen enough hearts in Sonic Adventure 2 to be resurrected in Sonic Heroes. Only a few weeks after the poll results were revealed, it was announced that Sonic the Hedgehog would be an inaugural inductee into the Walk of Game, a monument in San Francisco designed to honor icons of video gaming, both the characters and the minds behind them. In an explosion of marketing synergy, Sega thought it the perfect time to unveil the trailer for the next installment in the Sonic series. The trailer came in two parts: the first being a celebratory montage of all things Sonic over the previous fourteen years. The second part of the trailer would show off the latest title by Sonic Team...and it was introduced with a hail of bullets punching through the footage of Sonic's history. This was the world's first ever look at Shadow the Hedgehog, and for many of the Sonic faithful, it was the perfect herald of The Troubles. Now, Sonic Team USA, having renamed themselves Sega Studios USA after the completion of the absolute trial that was Heroes, were not so foolish as to begin development of a game based solely on an official poll. In fact, the poll was made simply to gauge potential fan reaction for the unveiling. Honestly, something like Shadow the Hedgehog had been gestating ever since Sonic Adventure 2, where Takashi Iizuka had come up with a plethora of angles to tackle using the character during development, and he hadn't managed to use them all to his liking. After wrapping up production of Sonic Heroes, Iizuka had become a bit bored with how the previous titles has been aimed at a younger audience, and was wanting to appeal to an older demographic, and attract those who might not otherwise play a Sonic title. With an older demo in mind, he was also wanting to capitalize on the story elements of the previous games, putting a focus on the mysterious nature of Shadow and his origins, answering the many burning questions fans had been asking over the previous two games. The fact that he was wanting to appeal to an older demographic with what was still at heart a children's cartoon mascot never seemed to merit any closer examination from SEGA leadership at the time, especially when he started having the staff watch films like Underworld, Constantine and Terminator for tonal guidance. With the tone for their anti-hero cartoon mascot decided thanks to, of all things, Constantine, the team then began to add other much-requested features to the game such as the ability to ride vehicles and the use of weapons, which was given real emphasis to make Shadow the Hedgehog stand apart from the Sonic franchise before it. Though shooting mechanics had been implemented in the two Adventure titles, the team wanted to challenge themselves to include it as a core mechanic this time, creating a 'gun action' game that focused on both speed and shooting at the same time. Since Shadow was the only remotely-appropriate character to do this with (Omega didn't count as he had guns for arms instead of needing to pick them up), production was able to get fully underway quite quickly after Heroes wrapped up. Another element the team worked hard to put in the game was the use of branching pathways within the story. The concept had originally been meant to feature in Sonic Adventure 2, but a lack of time and resources had shelved it. Taking the Hero/Dark dichotomy from Adventure 2 and running with it for what they hoped was a touchdown, even the game's tagline ("Hero or villain? You decide.") advertised how each playthrough of the game would theoretically be a wholly unique experience. Though only playing through six levels in any path, with 22 total available, this meant 326 different ways a player could complete the game. The game initially received a "T" rating from the ESRB. Sega even tried to play up the higher age rating, asking those at trade shows and events where the game was being demoed to only play if they were 13 and up. However, many SoA marketing execs worried that a T rating would lose them a large chunk of Sonic's customer base that bought titles exclusively for kids, and Sonic had been heavily associated with that branding. As luck would have it though, during the game's production, the ESRB decided to update their rating system after years of complaints, adding an "E10+" rating to be slotted in between "E" and "T." With maximized dollar signs in sight now, the Western translation gunned for the rating, haphazardly removing some of the mild swearing and leaving the rest. The blood was also sucked straight out of all G.U.N troops, and then tinted green for the Black Doom armada. This purposeful censorship managed to land the game right into the ten-and-up designation, leading to high fives all around the Sega offices. Which was strange, because the whole point of the game was to court a more mature audience, wasn't it? Multiple vocal tracks were composed for the game, with each meant to be played for a specific path through the game. However, not all the tracks made for the game actually ended up in it. Despite strenuous protests, Jun Senoue, the lead composer of the game, lost out on two songs he had his heart set on. The first was a track titled "Who I Am," written by the band Magna-Fi, that was forced out due to copyright and licensing issues. The second song, however, was lost for a sadder reason. "Broken," a song previously released by the band Sins of a Divine Mother, was the other track that Jun wanted in the game, specifically as the Neutral-Hero theme. All the band members were in agreement except the singer, Wylie B. They couldn't track him down to get his permission to use it. Unable to discuss the licensing of the song, it was dropped, instead creating a new song "Chosen One", written and performed by the band A2 (which actually featured quite a few members from Sins of a Divine Mother). Despite all the risks taken by Sonic Team to make a darker, more mature tale to attract older audiences, their effort proved laughably ineffectual, as the released product was thoroughly trashed by critics and snubbed by the very demographic they were chasing. Although it still managed to sell reasonably well despite the drubbing, this effectively killed its potential in the eyes of SEGA to become a companion franchise to Sonic. Though criticism at the time has paled in comparison to what the passage of time wrought, as many fans and critics alike have cited the game as a Happy Days style "jump the shark" moment for the Sonic series. Now, a whole heaping helping of criticism for the game stemmed from what many felt was an unearned sense of maturity and the unwelcome addition of guns. To quote one critic, Game Informer's Matt Helgeson "not only is this new 'adult' interpretation of Sonic painfully dumb, it’s also ill-advised and almost feels like a betrayal to longtime fans." Eurogamer's Tom Bramwell felt similarly, stating that "the game's other selling point - its darker edge - is not really meant for us." Though, not everyone had it out for Sonic's own Vegeta spinoff. In fact, Nintendo Power's Steve Thomason rated the game an 8.0 out of 10, stating that a darker take on Sonic's universe "succeeds for the most part, giving the series a bit of an edge without going overboard on violence." (Hilariously, this kind review would be retracted with prejudice in the last issue of Nintendo Power, with Thomason not only stating that this rating was his worst mistake in the magazine, but that the game itself was an "abomination".) What was an even bigger target for criticism in Shadow The Hedgehog, more than the gunplay or scattershot tone issues, was the controls. What many found especially egregious was Shadow's homing attack, as it caused many unexpected and cheap deaths. Game Informer's Matt Helgeson complained that the attack "frequently sends you careening off into nothingness, resulting in cheap death after cheap death." This was a sentiment echoed countless ways by Nintendo Power, X-Play, Eurogamer, Official Xbox Magazine, and GameSpy, among others. While the homing attack took the brunt of criticism, other mechanics were not spared, as seen in Greg Mueller of GameSpot's complaint that the guns were nearly useless because of a lack of an aiming ability. IGN staff writer Matt Casamassina, 1UP.com staff writer Greg Sewart, Game Informer, X-Play, GameSpy, and London's The Times also criticized the mechanics of Shadow's weapons and vehicles, and other aspects of the game's controls. Of course, even this mixed-to-negative reception didn't stop the game from gaining the coveted status of "Best Game of 2006" by the Official Jetix Magazine Reader Awards. It even received a nomination for a Golden Joystick Award as 2006's "Family Game of the Year" on the website of British newspaper "The Sun".
