Shadow the Hedgehog (2005)
Genres:Adventure, Platform, Shooter
Themes:Action, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player, Split screen
Story:The world is in peril as forces, both good and evil, make a play for the powerful Chaos Emeralds. In Shadow the Hedgehog, you can control Shadow and choose which side to fight for. This 3D platformer lets you use weapons, vehicles, environmental objects, and time and space manipulation to combat your foes.
Although it is a 3D platform game as with the more recent Sonic Adventure games, the game's levels each feature up to three different missions (Hero, Dark, Normal) that the player may choose to complete. The game's plot depends on which mission is completed as well as subsequent playable levels. The game stars Shadow the Hedgehog and his quest to recover his memory, a goal he has been pursuing since his debut in Sonic Adventure 2, while an evil alien race known as the Black Arms is invading the planet.Show more
Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.801
Shadow the Hedgehog is a fairly good game! Fun movement and mechanics, and some unique stories to it. It's a little difficult, but it feels like a proper successors to heroes.
This game and Sonic Unleashed deserves a proper PC port.
This is such a great game! I have a great time going through each of its stages, the level design is great and the guns are really fun to use!
It's basically Sonic (Shadow) with guns! You go fast, homing attack, spindash, but you can also carry a gatling gun twice your size!!
I want this game to be preserved and for more people to be able to check it!
is it a masterpiece? no. Is it the best sonic game in the catalogue? No. Is it my favorite sonic game of all time? absolutely. it sparked a middleschool hyperfixation in me so intense it actually fixed some self esteem issues. I spent so much time playing this game that i accidentally learned speedrun strats while A ranking the unlockable hard mode. I attempted to beat its actual 300+ endings, but after getting around halfway got burned out and let it rest. i'd love to see it be preserved and be available outside of roms (which tend to disappear) not to mention the modding potential.
A game from my own childhood, one i loved back then (i was a really, really big shadow fan.. still am..) but nowadays realise is more of a mixed bag. I still like it, though. However, A PC Port brings the chance of some really insane mods that could fix the game. (perhaps a new version of the Reloaded mod that takes advantage of the fact the game would be on PC to add even more content!) It has my vote! This, Heroes, and Unleashed should all get modern PC releases..
The game may be flawed and trying to 100% the game is tedious. However, the gameplay is fun and it is fun choosing your adventure as you play the game. You could side with the heroes, Black Doom's alien forces, or just speed run to the end of the level to go neutral.
I know this game was criticized for using guns in a "Sonic Game," but the gun mechanics are actually fun to use. Is it silly, yes. Does it make sense in a Sonic Game, probably not. But this game is about Shadow the Hedgehog. He isn't Sonic, and that what makes him cool. I want this game to be preserved, not just as a time capsule of the era this game came out, but also as a way for modders to make this game more interesting.
BTW GameCube supremacy all the way!
This game is definitely Shadow personified. Not to mention one of Sega's most ambitious games for sure.
Where you can decide the outcome in any way you wish. What awaits Shadow at the end of the journey? You decide. Even if some of the routes seem ridiculous, it is never a dull moment with Sonic, his friends, Eggman and Black Doom in the mix.
this game deserves to be on pc, they should've rereleased it last year, it might not be the best but it doesn't deserve to lefted on 6th generation consoles, and mods would be cool and could help fix some of the game
Shadow the Hedgehog was a spin off sequel to Sonic Heroes. This further expanded the lore of Shadow and some stuff introduced in Sonic Adventure 2. It's one of those games you got to choose between good, evil or neutral aka yourself at times. Which will alter the path you're going in the levels. Sadly you better get use to replaying the first level a lot. There's a lot of endings with some being somewhat similar. There's a good variety of levels. You have to get most endings before unlocking the final section of the game. Which can be rather tedious at times. Of course there's some great songs. I know some might not like Shadow riding vehicles as well as firing guns. In a way some of us were more interested because stuff like that was unexpected at the time. Sure Shadow the Hedgehog may gotten rushed a bit. At the same time, I do recall finding enjoyment in this Sonic game. Yes Sonic actually in the game to clarify. I actually ended up enjoying it a little more than Sonic Heroes.
I played Sonic as a kid, these are some of my best games I've ever had the opportunity to play, but I've never had the chance to play Shadow the Hedgehog, so please make sure you release a PC port so you don't lose this game, because it's an important part of the blue hedgehog gaming world.

Carnivores 2Carnivores 2 is a first-person hunting game, in which the player's quarry is various species of dinosaur. A sequel to Carnivores, it expands on the original with new maps, new dinos, and new weapons, as well as improved audio and visuals.

In a departure from the first game's ranking system, Carnivores 2 awards points for successful hunts based on equipment and species, with which the player may purchase higher-valued weapons and species for subsequent hunts.
The game also features a trophy room, where the players most recent kills are displayed with recorded stats, and an observer mode, where players can explore each map and learn how each dinosaur behaves without fear.
The game was originally developed by Action Forms, published by WizardWorks Software, and released in 1999 for Windows.Science fiction
