I really should've made this thread a long time ago, but hey what the hell here it is anyway: Are any of you guys gettin Shadow the Hedgehog? That game looks like the sh*t to me, even tho I think Sega is strayin a bit off the path, givin him weapons. Then again, he is Shadow, the bad one...so I guess thats why. Point is, Im gettin it. Anybody else gettin it here? Go ahead, say good things about the game or criticize. Your choice.

I've looked into the game a little and it looks fairly interesting. The story revolves greatly around discovering Shadow's past, obviously. A group of evil aliens show up, and their leader claims to have arrived to collect on the promise Shadow made to him several years ago, but Shadow has no memory of this. Sonic and company are there as well, and the story and levels change depending on which side you chose to follow, the evil aliens or Sonic and his friends. The music is kick-ass in my opinion, my kind of metal. I'll probably get the game.

one thing i just thought of that would kinda be a let down is if when you go on the tracks and etc. if you cant start shooting stuff out of the blue you know what i mean. cuz if you have to go in a free rome area to shoot stuff it would kinda stink. btw is there like a sonic fighting game?
edit: xero have you played pop: warrior within? if you like action and dont mind puzzles it would proably suit you (there like metalica in the main song or is it i stand alone i cant remember)

The game looks so damn kewl because it blends the Sonic serie's trademark speed w/ gunplay. RELLIK: Yea its called Sonic the Fighters. Used to only be in arcade but now its in the Sonic Gems Collection. Also in PoP:Warrior Within its GodSmack thats playing, and your right it is a kickass game. Just lets stay on topic here^^;

Well, as promised, a much more detailed assesment of the game.
Honestly, it just what you expect it to be, a fast 3D Sonic-style game with a gun. Of course there's less just straight up running and more actual walking around and completing objectives, but I don't think the game's really lost anything. You have two meters at the top of the screen, one red and one blue. As you kill "bad guys" your blue bar goes up, as you kill "good guys" the red bar goes up. When your blue bar is full, you get Chaos Control, which is more or less a fast forward through the level. It zips you along til your blue meter is depleted. The red meter gives you Chaos Blast, which destroys everything in a given radius. If you time it just right and destroy enough good guys with your blast, you'll actually refill your red meter and can do it again. And when you get hit, you don't lose every ring you're carrying, just 10 or so, which I think is a big plus.
Guns? You got 5 basic groups, and at least 3 different versions of each group, GUN, Black Arms, and Robotnik (I refuse to call him Eggman) depending on what stage you're in. There's pistols, automatics, lock-on weapons, melee weapons, and...I don't remember the other one, but you get the point.
Multiplayer is rather weak I'm afraid. You get 3 different versions of Shadow to chose from in 6 different colors. 2 are just normal Shadows, 2 are silver android Shadows with machine guns, and 2 are sivel android Shadows with a lock-on type gun. You only have 3 stages to chose from, and they're all very similar. Not very entertaining, but I guess its the single player mode that was designed to keep your interest.
I won't spoil any of the story for you, but there are multiple storylines and endings. The level you progress to depends entirely on which objective you complete. There's always 2 choices, sometimes 3, the good guy choice, the bad guy choice, or what I like to call the "do things my own damn way" choice, the normal choice. So getting every level unlocked and every ending is not something to be done in one night (although I tried, but nevermind) and will keep you entertained for quite a while. If you liked any of the previous 3D Sonic games, I'm sure you'll love this one too.
*In case you were wondering, I own the GameCube version*
