The character, not the game.

A tryhard attempt to "mature" a children's game by giving the character a bad attitude, making him cuss, and making him more violent. Mostly appeals to emo 12 year olds. I don't care for Sonic in general, and Shadow is my least favorite part of the franchise.

I prefer Big the cat to any sonic characters. I wish he was in Mario and Sonic Olympic Winter Games.

Shadow is ok though.

I know he was in two games before this but let's not pretend that this game isn't the first thing you think of when you think of the character. So far as unintentional humour goes it's right up there.

Yeah, same here.

He honestly just seems kinda like an example of how the series has just gone downhill over the years. Sega just following trends that dont fit the franchise, instead of focusing on making, well, fun Sonic games like they USED to all those years ago.

It also often seems like they have this bizarre need to make everything super edgy all the time.

Used to really like Sonic, back in the day... I wish they'd just put out something simple and good again. They wont, though.

Should've stayed dead since SA2...

He would've made more of an impact.

A good character in Sonic X. Not such a good character when given his own game.
