Game Review: Shadow the Hedgehog

Updated: Oct 5, 2021


What we are reviewing today

Welcome to Senko's reviews, Today I will be reviewing the 2005 shadow the hedgehog game. I played it on the gamecube.


My rating

10/10 I absoluetly enjoyed, you see Shadow carries gun around and he doesn't need a gun, but he finds it poggers.

Anyways onto the actual review, I do in fact rate it a 10/10, you may be asking why would I rate a game made back in 2005 10/10, I absoluetly adore this game, and I even remember playing it when it was released. The graphics were amazing and the music was sooooo good. I really enjoyed how you could choose to be a villian, a hero, or neither.

I also like how you could drive vehicles in this game unlike other sonic games




Here is an image of one of the few vehicles you can drive in this game. This is the "Dark Rider" From the game itself, personally my favorite ride in the entire series, wish we could see it more in the new games honestly.


What is it about?

Shadow the hedgehog is about Shadow having no memory of what happened in his life, but he is on a journey to figure out what he has been missing, over the course of the game you can help out any side you would like to, but every route and decision you make will lead to a different ending, there are a total of 10 different endings you can achieve in this game. It can lead you to saving the world and defeating the black arms army to even planning on destroying the world. Which would you choose? Or would you go a different route? See if I were you I would just go with what ever choice you want and see how it pans out in the end, it's a really cool concept.

SPOILERS: Now you may be asking what the Black Arms army is...it's the aliens that are invading earth pretty much and the one villian I recommend not joining sides with, they creep me out and I don't like them, but you choose if you do or not, I'm just telling my opinion. Their leader Black Doom is the only one besides Dooms eyes that will not attack you during a stage from the army alone, until you will have to face him later on, but that is a boss battle. I'm going to let you know, when you get to that point and start this boss battle, hide behind the walls and dodge his attacks, when he stops his firing thats when you'll want to shoot at him.

Here is a link if you are struggling or just want to see the boss battle. It's not the best quality but it definitely will help or give you an idea of who you are going against.

The end

Well I hope you all enjoyed this review and hopefully give this game a try, I really recommend it. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

(here is some scenery from the game, as you can see it is a city taken over and destroyed by the alien army "Black Army")


(pictured is one of the many bosses, the bosses name is "Black Bull")


(in game you can come across characters from the sonic franchise and have them join you on your journey, they will follow you around the stage helping you make decisions to be good, bad, or neutral, you can lose them and get a different character during the round)

I see nor hear no evil Black writings on the wall Unleashed a million faces And one by one they fall

Black-hearted evil Brave-hearted hero I am all, I am all, I am

I, I, I, I am Here we go, buddy Here we go, buddy Here we go Here we go, buddy Here we go

Go ahead and try to see through me
