Review by: McTricky

I never heard of this game until i brought it in france on my school trip. played it , loved it! the game is like the classic sonic games, get to the start to the end. the only things different about this game is:

The Guns (and I don't mean G.U.N)
To make the levels easier, arsenal have been introduced into this game. there are 3 trades of guns, the black arms guns, the G.U.N guns and eggman's guns.

Hero and Dark Shadow
There is more to Shadow than you think! By defeating the bad guys you fill up your Hero Meter (the blue gauge) enabling Shadow to use Chaos Control. By using Chaos Control, Shadow is able to blast through the level at lightning speed until the gauge runs out. Funnily enough Shadow is usually able to use Chaos Control just by using a special Chaos Emerald. Defeating the good guys fills up your dark meter (the red gauge) enabling Shadow to use Chaos Blast. by using chaos blast, Shadow creates a large energy blast, destroying everything within it's blast radius.

Vehicles
Not only on foot but on wheels as well. Shadow is able to use vehicles such as, 4X4 G.U.N military vehicle, moterbike, hovercraft, etc.

The Good
The most elusive part of this game is the library. The library are scenes from the story mode. There are about 326 episodes with thier own number and name.

The Bad
I HATE the in game cutscenes, especially in the Last Story, the mouths move oddly.

I would've given this game a 10 but it was the bad graphics in the in game cutscenes that spoilt it.
