Same, I think some people just came in with the intent of whining about the game. If Shadow didn't have guns, they'd say that it's no different from other Sonic games, but because he does people complain as if the game isn't rated T and released in the early 2000s.

I really love the idea of this story setup and I'll defend the 10 alternate routes stuff forever. The way I see it the message of the story is to let go of the past and move on, to not let the past or what others thought of you before define you. All 10 routes have Shadow desperately try to find out who he is, yet none of the answers really end up making him happy. Because the true ending is what matters - the ending where he moves on from his past, it doesn't matter to who he is now, and moves on. That in my opinion is also why hiding how Shadow survived is such a good idea: It shouldn't matter! The Shadow who died in SA2 is dead, and the Shadow we have now is his own person, no longer caring about his past.

Shadow the Hedgehog is a messy game for sure, but damn, does it not deter the love for the character. A lot of people can deride the story for sure, but I honestly am extremely excited and interested to see how they work this crazy story into the new movies, which surprised us all with their quality and love for the source material despite what we were all worried about. The gameplay can still be pretty rough, but I won't lie, like you said, the menu and presentation still go pretty hard, and I still got a soft spot for Westopolis as an opening level. Though that may be because I never actually completed enough routes for the true story.

Shadow's character in this game and early portrayals of him is something that really sticks with you, especially if you played it in your teens. If you stick out til the end, you'll see his character come full circle by helping GUN and saving the world as he found more and more about himself, which is parallel to what we go through. I can't appreciate Sega enough for what they were attempting here. If only they kept that up to these days...

If any of you are wondering why Shadow survived, it's because of Nigh Invulnerability from Super Shadow and Chaos Spear was lost, you get it back in Devil Doom so there's a reason why Firearms are mandatory until then, Shadow needs something to use in place of Chaos Spear and because he had a huge impact to his brain and body, he's literally unable to channel Chaos Energy and a TBI Victim & is why he not only lost his memory but is acting edgy and apathetic especially before starting Westopolis.

6:38 Omega when first encountering Shadow: _"Are you... the original?"_ There are several active Shadow Android units encountered throughout this level, so it's a fair question. Nice of Omega to ask if each/this mindless robo-duplicate of his alive friend is actually him just in case before ruthlessly annihilating all of them.
@EuroMIX2

I don't know if this is just a game limitation, but the androids do look a bit noticeably different from Shadow himself. I'm curious if Omega noticed too, which is why he asked to verify.
@KHloreExpert
@KHloreExpert 2 жыл бұрын
​@@EuroMIX2 From our meta perspective it very well may be a game limitation or more likely I think a deliberate choice due to the Androids' more limited and in some cases unique moveset not requiring all the work that went into true Shadow's model. Besides massively saving on resources that technically could've been used to some degree with enough work it's an excellent game design choice to more easily keep track of which of the several yous on screen is the one that should be responding to your inputs which is necessary both for fun and to prevent review bombing of "At several points there were 3 to 5 Shadows on Screen at the same time which was so confusing and cost me a lot of BS lives. 2/5 Stars." From an in-universe, canon perspective it's difficult to say. I'd argue that they aren't so low-poly in-canon both because in Sonic Heroes where they only appear in the pre-rendered cutscenes they aren't, or more accurately are actual copy-pastes of pre-rendered Shadow in the pod at the start thus retaining the detail, and because in the Neutral Route Shadow has to be successfully convinced by Eggman that he's not really himself but actually a defective one of his Androids that went rogue. While there are also several story factors that lead into Shadow adopting this mistaken identity I think it wouldn't make a ton of sense if even after a decent amount of gaslighting from Eggman one look between the Androids and himself didn't cause the obvious revelation that even if one of them actually defectively thought it was real they would just look like an android knockoff playing at Shadow and not like himself. Also, if the Androids really looked like such rigid knockoffs in-universe I doubt that Omega would have to ask, even if his asking wasn't out of hard logic but due to their friendship. Granted this is all speculation and personal interpretation on my part. If it's an in-canon discrepancy then our Shadow being the original and thus far more detailed than his duplicates is probably what prompted Omega to ask although it was likely a formality and not at all necessary. Perhaps the sight of his friend snapped him out of his usual single-minded "Utterly Destroy Eggman" haze and he was vocally processing his surroundings. If it's just game design then Omega likely asked due to noting the differences in actual Shadow's behavior up to that point and wanted to be sure.

When I got the hang of it...when I learned how to play it with confidence and vigor I was so happy. Cosmic Fall had the best and loudest music ever. "ARe YoU ThE OrIGiNaL!?" "Doctor I'll make you regret creating me." "Black bull burn this city to ASHES!" Damn it I can't lose here. Damn, it's a DEAD END. Damn, we've been detected. Damn the ship got away. Damn you it's not TRUE! Damn YOUUUUUuuuu! Where's that DAMN 4TH chaos Emerald!? "With that Green 🍏🍏🍏 Emerald, you can unlock UNLiMiTeD PoWeR!" "Doooo NoTt ATaaaaCKK My SoldieRRss!" "SHADOW, DAMN you it been 50 years." "If you find shadow with the black aliens, then kill them ALL!" That photo of SoNiC and SHaDoW is and always will be precious. UGH. Those black creatures.... they're up there ... That's where the answers are ... I HAVE to get to that comet! Those ..... ANDROIDs....the ones that look like me....AM ...I-??? "Yes." WHaat ...(Dejected) YOU and OMeGA are MY Creations...But you betray me as you stand here before me . So now, I will DESTROY YOU BOTH! 18:06 yes , it is RAW. You're going straight to HeLL! 20:09. I'm going to screenshot the hell outta this, Damn it! With the power of these Emeralds... I'm going to DESTROY this DAMN planet...this is WHO I AM! HahahahahahahaHAHAHaHAHhaHaHaHAHAHa! Villain no more. Now I'm fighting to protect The Planet Earth that Maria once loved. 22:12 . BLaCK DooM: Then, Prepare TO DIEEEEEEEEE! 23:20! 27:22 Indeed, this game was made to compete with Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank and That ONE OTHER ONe . I'm being serious.

K so this game--the story specifically I think it's one of the best in the series with the japaniese voices translations cuz this game was translated poorly. The theming around how expeirinces and the people you meet influence how you make decisions what you want to do with your life, is great stuff and shapes how you live. So the non-Canon-endings I interpret it as possible routes shaodw could of taken my favourite non-canon ending in the game personally is the one where the military commander talks to shadow and says how he was responsible for all the deaths that took place aboard the arc and shadow actually takes responsibility for it but first he needs to find out the truth for himself. The ending where everything is falling is contrasted with his heads pace beautifully and is a cool call back to sonic adventure 2. I like how after he defeats eggman that shadow realizes that he is the one the protector of the "sacred arc" and he will do anything to protect it and he sort of turns into knukles the protect of the arc contrasted by knukles being the protector of the master emerald. The final story of the game is the best because in this story line shadow doesn't let anyone make decisions for him even maria the person who said his purpose was to protect the people of earth. He puts his past behind him and makes decisions for him self and tosses the picture of Gerald and Maria behind him. Never Turn Back.... If you only had to beat this game 5 time to see all the endings or let you select from different areas. This game wouldn't be nearly as tedious. Personally though I still like it though and for me shadows controls and high-speed is super fun to run with and blaze through levels with his gun. This game also needs a remake just some fine tuning holy crap. SA1, SA2, SONIC HEROES, SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG, SONIC 06 NEED REMAKES!

Great review, I like how you didn’t hate on the game just for the sake of it. There was plenty of potential for a great game here, but it was bogged down by the need to have to replay the game over and over again to get all of the different endings. I hope some day we get another Shadow the Hedgehog video game, the potential is there it just needs to be executed properly. With Shadow being featured in Sonic movie 3 who knows what the future has in store for him. I’m hoping we see Black Doom again at some point, he was a cool antagonist.

Yes even the "find said people" levels. They're at the end of the level.

I remember getting this as a gift and being kinda disappointed as a kid. I don’t think it’s that great a game, but I’m occasionally compelled to go back and try to go through a certain storyline throughs. Like most games in the Sonic franchise, there’s at least a few songs in it that I really enjoy.

I don't know if you mentioned in your SA2 video but there's a bunch of neat character interactions in the final boss there too that you have to stall for.

I will say you got black doom wrong in the beginning. Shadow already had a past and he promised doom hed get the chaos emeralds when the time comes, the time came and initally shadow ignores it but doom shows up telling shadow he must now collect the emeralds as promised, Shadow is confused but Doom dosent question it because it seems he dosent have time for whatever happened to shadows memories. Shadow not knowing who he is and with doom disappearing after ignoring his questions leaves him with collecting the emeralds as his only lead, so he rushed into the city where he finds more leads you can choose to take on, like sonic or the army

As a 10 year old kid, I 100% this game. It remains the only game I've totally, completely, 100%. I LOVED it. I played it every day, weekends were spent strictly with Shadow the Hedgehog until I got to 100%. A few months ago, now 27, I tried the game again. What the hell was 10 year old me on?

I always thought it was weird that this came AFTER sonic heroes, but it sort of makes sense with the story. Really though, this should have been before SH and better explains why shadow isn't dead.

This game btw is an Alternate Outcome of events after SA2 so not a sequel to Heroes or that game happening, Omega even asks Shadow in one level if he's the original and Shadow comes across Omega and Rouge in different levels, not them coming after him.

The first time I came across the whole thing about Sonic and his friends was Sonic X the show, I would watch it every morning b4 going to school and I loved it. And my first Sonic game was infact Sonic hero's and the moment I played that I loved it me and my brother would be at my nans house playing it and when it came round to my birthday I ended up buying the game off ebay with my birthday money but while I was purchasing the game I came across Shadow the Hedghog and I was like oh cool they actually have a game based on Shadow so I ended up buying tht aswell, and when the game arrived I was so excited to play Shadow but sadly never got round to finishing it off, but from what I played as a child I loved it Shadow has always been my favourite character

I played this game when I was 12 and no problem unlocking the endings. It felt easy to me to figure out how to get all the endings. And since I loved the game I didn’t mind playing it 10 times lol. I got the secret ending without knowing there was one. But of course as a kid with no sense, it’s easier to do that since you don’t realize it’s a bad game lol. Not showing off just wanted to show a different perspective where for a 11-12 yeat old it wasn’t confusing or anything
