Gameplay

In this game, the player can only play as shadow much like how he plays in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. In addition to the homing attack, the player uses a variety of guns. The player can ride on different types of vehicles. Shadow also has the spindash back as well as the ability to perform punches and kicks. The player has three paths to choose from; good, evil, and neutral. The evil missions have the player help Black Arm. The good missions have the player help Sonic & friends and GUN. The neutral path has the player just go to the goal ring. There is a last story in this game. 

Multiplayer

The players can play as shadow vs a shadow android in a variety of stages usually in a deathmatch.

Reception

The game had gotten mixed to negative reviews. While it was praised for its replay value, the game was criticised for it's level design, poor controls of the homing attack, bad mechanics of the weapons and vehicles, and the overall dark and mature theme (with the addition of guns and other weapons).

However, Nintendo Power gave the game a positive score of 8.0 and in the 2005 Nintendo Power Awards, it won the Players' Choice Award for Best Platformer.

Trivia

  • The game was the first to be rated E10+. Most likely because of the frequent use of the curse words.
