Shadow The Hedgehog

I almost revived an almost dead topic. Go me.

Anyway, I just recently rented this game and beat it in 5 days. (Went crazy with it. XD. *Must beat it before I return it!*) I have to say I am a bit disappointed with this game. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay is awesome, but I have a lot more complains for this game other than gameplay than Sonic Heroes or SA2.

1. Sega seriously just got lazy with CG Movies. Out of around 50 cut scenes, there was fewer than 10 that rendered and done in the good style, while the other 40 is done with the crappy graphic of the game, not to mention it lags and not running it smoothly. The CG movies I hate.

2. Unlike the other three previous games, this game, there is only one character to choose and use: Shadow. Boring as hell. I was beginning to having the idea of banging the CD when I am on my 10th storyline. The stages are awesome, but playing them with the same character over and over again is just plain annoying. The weapons provide a bit more fun, but after a few while they are also getting boring, as I can just grab a laser gun and start killing people instead of grabbing a big Cannon that has horrible aim.

3. The missions. Way too annoying. Especially most of the hero ones. Playing finding stuff in SA2 with Rouge and Knuckles was already annoying enough, but now you can expect me to run 'through' the stage and find those stuff that you need to find. And if you just miss one, you have to go to the beginning unless you remember where the heck you missed that one Black Creature or Gun Soldier. Not to mention a bit repetitive afterward.

4. Too less of secrets. From what I heard from Enzan, after you beat the Last Story mode, [spoil:30b62682b9](Which is also truely annoying; I had absolutely not the same fun as the last stage in SA2 or SH, and I was beginning to smashing my controller when my Chaos Spear not even able to hit the guy, even if I aim right.)[/spoil:30b62682b9] You simply have to just get all As and get an expert mode, like SH's hard mode. Boring as heck, not to mention again, repetitive after you've play with Shadow for the 71st time.

5. Lags. A lot. Especially loading between the CG movies. I was wasting 10 minutes of my 30 minutes play time just to wait for each cutscenes to load. Not to mention frames were getting crappy if there is too much thing going on.

Overall, I think after this, SEGA should just go back doing their multiplayer 3D games. This is simply just way too boring.

You know, I'm not suprised you say this. That's the general thought about this. Now do something good and go play sonic rush.
(Although this could just be a quick grab for money so they can do something really good.)

I just got this game a couple days ago and when I found out I had to get the 10 endings to unlock Last Story, I was so pissed. I thought Heroes was repetitive but this is just stupid. There are more than 300 story combinations. The only people I can think of doing that are the hardcore Sonic fans or people who aim at 100% completion.

I didn't have much patience. I had to complete 60 levels, each with a different ending. [spoil:ec13922bb1]Devil Doom[/spoil:ec13922bb1] disappointed me, his design just wasn't cool or badass like Metal Overlord. However, "The Last Way" was something I enjoyed.

Some missions are extremely annoying. There was this 1 hero mission where I had to destroy Artificial Chaos. It took me 42 minutes to complete it. I tell you, it's always the last 1 that screws you over.

Personally, the guns were ok. They killed my enemies faster than my homing attacks.

I think sega should stop making Sonic games that are repetitive. Each character should get their own level, just like in Sonic Adventure 1&2. Each one should also get their own exclusive boss battles.

The guns were a big help on this level. I just killed every GUN soldier I saw and took their weapons to kill the Artificial Chaos. I must've spent like 10 minutes on the beginning cause I didn't know I had to get on the turret to advance through the level. There was this 1 Chaos that caught me off guard, the 1 that was placed behind the door while on the turret. When I had only 1 left, I wasted like 10+ minutes trying to find it. I went through the entire level twice -_-; I turned my turret to the rear to spot any I missed, and bam, found it and shot it to death.
I could've gone for the neutral ending but I was trying to complete all hero missions on 1 of my playthroughs. I also did a Dark playthrough. I already had difficulty on level 2. I kept getting hit by those fire pillars.

I haven't played too many Sonic games but I have played the first Sonic Adventure and loved it, I just played through it again for the first time in a while and am intrigued enough to get SA2, Sonic Heros, and the mega collection so I can play the classic games.

That depends of the game.

At first I thought the game would suck because of the reviews and such but I found it to be quite enjoyable actually. But maybe that's just because I like explosions and guns. I've never like 3D Sonic games though. This is better than Adventure DX though.

You have a strange opinion about that. Although you liking explosions and guns does help to know why you said that. (no offense)

No offence taken. When I said I liked explosions and guns, I meant in games. I've always favored action games with lots of explosions and guns. And yes my opinon on Shadow the Hedgehog is strange. I totally agree.
