Shadow the Hedgehog - AntDude

[@SultenZone]

I feel it's fair to say he didn't die. People keep skipping over these facts... - He's the alleged Ultimate Lifeform. - You never saw him get stabbed or obliterated. He just fell. - It's a game about flying anthropomorphic Super-powered Hedgehogs who can breathe in space.

[@OtioseFanatic]

To be fair the ORIGINAL intent and statement from sonic team was that Shadow indeed died in SA2. Or at least the power of super form caused him to “disappear.” It’s even mentioned in gameplay during SA2 during the super fight if you take too long and just keep swapping characters. At one point pretty far in (and if your a Shadow), Sonic will warm him that staying in super form too long will cause your body to disappear if your not too used to the stress of being in that form, that exact thing being what was supposed to have happened as he fell towards earth. That’s also why the whole Shadow Android plot line had to happen.

@Shadow The Hedgehog I respectfully disagree with you that the rest of the songs are forgotten because of the main theme, "Never Turn Back" but, I do agree with you on the other songs you mentioned. But, why did they reuse Shadow's theme in Sonic 06? It's a a great song though. Sonic 06 still sucks. Except for the soundtrack in both games. I played through Sonic 06 more times than anyone with a working brain should, and bought at least 2 or 3 copies, and beat the entire game with everyone, and did it twice in my lifetime. I also played the game on release day. Worst decision ever. I also played Shadow the Hedgehog on release day too. 2nd worst decision ever. Great soundtrack though.

[@TOG285]

**I am all of me intensifies**

[@shawnfields2369]

@Shadow The Hedgehog I only bought 3 copies of Sonic 06 because I thought, on release day, that MY copy of Sonic 06 was fucking BROKEN, when I fought Silver, and when I'd play it, sometimes, the game wouldn't load, but just took too long to load, because how can you tell a glitch in Sonic 06 from a regular part of the game? Especially if you're playing it on the fucking RELEASE day, so there wouldn't be guides up for awhile and don't just go and pretend like you know things about me, and call me "edgy", dude. I didn't "forget" about the soundtrack from the game Shadow The Hedgehog, and I especially didn't go, "wow, so edgy". Just because you or someone you know did, doesn't mean everyone that played it did. As awful as both Shadow The Hedgehog and Sonic 06 are, I loved the soundtrack from both games. Not because Shadow's theme song was edgy, and not because I thought they were edgy, but because I genuinely liked the songs. Same with Sonic 06 and "His World", the lyrical version of the song. I had multiple copies of that game because my version wasn't working for some reason(shocking, I know), so my dad, had to return the game to the store to get another copy that WOULD work. Turns out, Sonic 06 was a glitchy piece of shit, and a fucking disaster, again, shocking, wasn't it? And I wasn't asking you anything, it was a hypothetical question. I didn't forget how either game's soundtrack was. I remembered them because of how shitty both games were, and how the soundtracks were the best parts of both games, so of course they're going to stand out. Just because YOU thought the songs were edgy, doesn't mean we all thought that. It's not like I actually liked either Shadow The Hedgehog or Sonic 06, outside of the music. I didn't know 06 was as broken as it was until years later, playing through it myself, and I refused to let the GAME beat me. I tried and failed with Shadow The Hedgehog though. I had multiple copies because i thought the copy I had was broken. Not because I like the Sonic series that much. Just making sure you don't misunderstand me.

[@shawnfields2369]

@Shadow The Hedgehog Thanks, even if you don't REALLY mean that, and are just being sarcastic. I wanted to finish Shadow the Hedgehog because of the songs "Never Turn Back" and "All Hail Shadow" and I didn't want the game to beat me. But that one did because you have to play it TEN times, and get every non-canon ending just to get to the last story. I could only get the ending where Shadow karate chops Eggman to death. And it took me years to beat Sonic 06 all the way through too. Especially the mach speed sections in Sonic's story. Even with the guidebook I had, it didn't mention HOW much bullshit was in store for you, especially in Kingdom Valley's or Radical Train's or Crisis City's mach speed sections, which were the 3 worst Sonic stages, to me. Which is why I beat Silver and Shadow's stories first. And mainly because of the bullshit Silver fight near the beginning of the game, if you played it you'll remember what I mean, when I say, "It's No Use!" or, "Take This!" I hated pretty much every moment of Sonic 06. I've played both the ps3 and 360 versions. Yes, I DID hate myself that much! But it was worth it, when I finally beat the last story of that game and got the final scene of the game with Sonic looking up at the sky, with the feather flying by, and that amazing piano piece that plays while he's running by, or the final song that plays during the credits. THAT'S how dedicated I was to finally putting the past behind me; especially when that past consisted of painful memories and moments of Sonic 06, and almost NO good memories or treasures of that game, other than the music. That's how much it meant to me. As a longtime Sonic The Hedgehog fan. Thanks anyways, dude. And don't forget, to never turn back again...

Very iconic for me at least. Freaken loved it

cool coincidence looking at this in 2024 and seeing the sonic generations desktop wallpaper for the shadow the hedgehog review

[@gentlemancharmander4411]

one thing that genuinely angers me, is how no one seems to understand that sonic games are not about going fast from the start. The games were designed around the idea of speedrunnning. the player isn't supposed to just breeze through it, they're supposed to take things slow, and learn the levels, until they are able to breeze through the levels. in sonic, speed is not a present, it is a reward that must be earned.

[@lordtullus9942]

THANK YOU

Now its 17 years

[@sebastiandiazacosta8329]

amen bro. the soundtrack is so dope too

[@benm5970]

It cracks me up that I actually thought this game was hardcore back when I was a kid

[@freyathedragon899]

I thought the whole ‘choose the path you take’ part of the game was a pretty neat concept, from a role playing and story perspective. Kinda like you’re building a character’s morals and motives from the ground up throughout the game.

[@BladeBlur]

So Sonic 06 video this year?

[@chipsleftwing]

4:45 Oi Sonic Unleashed is my favorite Sonic game

[@godtoast1212]

Shadow The Hedgehog Rated E for Edgy XD

[@theskepticpirate156]

1:46 I gotta point this out > Shadow returns in Heroes with no explaination >Shadow may or may not be an android Dude, pick one. If Shadow is an android (later it is confirmed he isn't an android but in the context of Heroes, the question is raised) then there is your explaination.

[@Sleipher]

Fun fact: In Shadow the Hedgehog you shift mission by pausing, selecting a mission and then leaving the pause menu. This is fine... however, you cannot leave the pause menu unless you select a mission. So if you pause the game early enough on certain levels you can softlock the game because you start without a mission.

[@pastelsunset]

the cutscenes in this game are better than the level graphics how did that even happen

[@dumbfluff2453]

It happens all the time. It's almost a cliche.

[@klungusxyz]

That's how it is for a lot of late 90's - early 2000's games.

[@jbfarley]

That's how video games work

[@robertharris6092]

I know this is old. but its called a pre rendered cutscene. like 3d movies ie toy story. They're rendered for hours ahead of time and just recorded as a video. Or for movies like toy story for months.

Antdude: "The game is now 10 years old." To think, that it will be 20 years in 2025. (Me watching this in 2024.)

[@JAMIEcool1310]

to be honest i love the game

[@MicoDossun]

Honestly I kinda think this game is a lot of fun and the level design is great. The story is a big joke but is it just me or do people only say "who needs story in a Sonic game?" to defend Sonic 1-K but ignore that when criticizing the story in some of the other games? I mean it's still a negative but a lot of the story is so cheesy you can't help but laugh and have fun about it.

Antdude, I'm afraid to be the bearer of bad news but you were wrong on the number of factions there were. It was actually 5; the off black aliens, eggman and his copy paste army, sonic and the cardboard cutout bois, GI Joe, and angry vengeful grandpa and his giant half circle ship.

[@blondie5835]

I feel like the problems reviews have with this game is the nature of how they have to play it. Shadow is a fun game if you do a run every other day or so, y’know pace it out. But since reviewers have to crush a game to stay on schedule the repetitive nature have a stronger presence. That being said I don’t mind the criticisms the game rightfully has but that one point always bothered me a bit.

[@ironicpolis7798]

Just realized that this game is 15 years old.
