Nothing sparks great memories more than my classic days of Sonic the Hedgehog (not be confused with the new next generation title of the same name). The 2d platform game with the blue hedgehog was the first game I ever played on a games console. This was great little game as was the predecessors that came out in the coming years. I even remember playing the equivalent titles for consoles like the Sega Master System and Game Gear. Well you would think I would have more mature tastes in video gamines these days but actually I am not ashamed to say my tastes are quite the opposite. Not always one for living in the past these types of games still provide much enjoyment and ...  Read the complete review

On a game clearly based on Sonic The Hedgehog, it's namesake Shadow really had a quite a shadow of it's own to come out of, trying to bring Sonic into the 3D world via the PS2 should have been an easy task. With games such as Crash Badicoot and Ratchet & Klank fairing so well as 3D platformers, this shouldn't have had any chance ot be a miss. Or so it would seem, instead of the next great instalment of Sonic or even an evolution for the beloved hedgehog, we get a bit of a comedy of errors. But where to start? The first thing you'll notice is the graphics, they just don't strike fear into any competitor as they look very bland and underwhelming, ...  Read the complete review

Shadow the hedgehog is Segas attempt to take the sonic games of distant memories into the future, its just a shame they didn't do it right. The only way i can try to describe what they did with this game, is that they tried to do too much at once, they tried to make the game face-paced, have lots of guns, lots of enemies, and a alternate story, depending if you choose good or evil side. Whats worse, is the way that you play the game to uncover your past, but as sega are quite new to 3d games, they made so many errors. Firstly, the graphics are among the worse i have ever witnessed on the ps2 system. The whole image is just grainy, and too dark, even with the tv on ...  Read the complete review

Shadow the hedgehog's trailer was propaganda-the trailer looked amazing and the ending was awesome seeing Shadow looking over a defeated Sonic. So what do we get a PS1 looking peice of crap-basicly Shadow cant remember anything apart from the name Maria-anyway aliens come from space and start deastroying the city, Shadow is confrinted by the leader Black Doom(or Rather his third eye) and tells him he promised him the chaos emerleds-Shadow goes off to Do what black doom says, Do what he wants or Be good and stop the alien invasion. Basicly you can be Good, Bad or Normal helping the likes of Sonic, Tails, Rouge, Knuckles and more. The guns(thats right guns!) ...  Read the complete review
