Shadow the Hedgehog

Overview

Shadow the Hedgehog (シ ャ ド ウ ・ ザ ・ ヘ ッ ジ ホ ッ グ, Shadō za Hejjihoggu?) Is a 2005 third-person shooter video game developed by Sega Studio USA (the former US division of Sonic Team) and published by Sega for the Nintendo GameCube consoles, PlayStation 2 and Xbox. It was released in November 2005 in Western nations, while Asian releases followed a month later. The PlayStation 2 version was digitally relaunched for the PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network in Asian countries in 2013.

Although it is a 3D platformer as with the Sonic Adventure games, the game levels feature up to three different missions (Hero, Dark, Normal) that the player can choose to complete. The plot of the game depends on the mission to be completed, as well as the subsequent playable levels. The game stars Shadow the Hedgehog and his quest to regain his memory, a goal he has been pursuing since his debut in Sonic Adventure 2, while an evil alien race known as the Black Arms is invading the planet. .

The game received mixed reviews; has been criticized for the addition of in-game weapons to Sonic and other obscure themes (such as swearing), though it was praised for its replay value.

Shadow the Hedgehog is a Sonic the Hedgehog series spin off title. Players take the role of Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic's Nemesis from Sonic Adventure 2. Shadow must fight his way through many levels to unveil the secrets of his past. Will he choose to join Dr. Eggman or the Black Arms? Or will Shadow decide to fight only for himself and nobody else to discover the true meaning of Shadow's past? The choice is yours and only you can make it.

Playing as Shadow, you have many new abilities that Sonic does not have. For one, you can use a gun. You also have hover shoes instead of Sonic's plain old running shoes. You can follow whichever path you choose to follow to discover Shadow's true identity. You can collect the Chaos Emeralds or you can help Robotnik or the Black Arms. Depending on what path you choose, you will have a different ending.
