But if an enemy attacks you while near the edge or a platform, THEN you will get screwed over. Even though this game is more sensitive and gives you more control, Shadow still moves in a rather slippery fashion.Īs for the gimmicks of this game. Even in 'Iron Jungle' or 'Lava Shelter', the game can sense what you're trying to do and will give you a better window.Įven when running fast, more often than not Shadow will stop right at the edge of a bottomless pit so you won't go flying off. Shadow the Hedgehog, however, is far more forgiving. When you get to some stages in particular *cRoAuIgLh CcAoNuYgOhN* this gets frustrating, especially when these sections take up nearly three quarters of the stage. Heroes is extremely precise and you have to land on the rails 90% correctly in order to grind. How to control your characters on a thin metal pole miles above an endless pit of doom is another story. In both of these games there are some stages where you have to grind on rails. 'Shadow controls worse than in Sonic Heroes!'īased on my personal experience, the controls in Sonic Heroes were just as bad - if not worse.

'The guns and vehicles are insulting and pointless' takes the cake. Some of the most vocal complaints are how slippery the controls are and how it is often you hear 'Damn! Not here!' when the ultimate lifeform falls into furry hell. Let me begin by tackling things down by categories. Despite this, it is still a humungous pile of mixed marbles. Shadow the Hedgehog disapointingly lacks the challenge that the most conversative Sonic games revel in, but it remains entertaining in the ideas it offers. As a first attempt at a video game review, I guess it's understandable, but my mind was too much in music and movie mode.īut let me reestablish one thing. By this point, I nearly feel embarrassed to have written my review so sloppily. Now, my opinion has developed a bit more. I took some time to think back on the post with what I wrote, I replayed the game a few times, and I checked other reviews in various places. Last year I reviewed Shadow the Hedgehog, which one of the most popular posts on my blog. I feel that, because of my overwhelming bias and oversimplification, my review of the game was. As a bonus I'm having way too much fun applying what I learn in Psychology to this unstable jerk. It even seems as time goes on, the more and more I enjoy the character. Shadow is one of the few beloved things of my childhood. (1)Ĭlearly I obsess about the blue blur's antihero twin waaaay too much. Maybe I should have planned more carefully.
