6.5/10

Gets a lot of credit for its memetic charm and for being the one time Shadow is actually kind of a good character.

A very positive 5.5

I've come to make an announcement; Shadow The Hedgehog's a bitch ass motherfucker, he pissed on my fucking wife. Thats right, he took his hedgehog quilly dick out and he pissed on my fucking wife, and he said his dick was "This big" and I said that's disgusting, so I'm making a callout post on my twitter dot com, Shadow the Hedgehog, you've got a small dick, it's the size of this walnut except WAY smaller, and guess what? Here's what my dong looks like: PFFFT, THAT'S RIGHT, BABY. ALL POINTS, NO QUILLS, NO PILLOWS. Look at that, it looks like two balls and a bong. He fucked my wife so guess what? I'm gonna fuck the Earth. THAT'S RIGHT THIS IS WHAT YOU GET, MY SUPER LASER PISS! Except I'm not gonna piss on the earth. I'm gonna go higher. I'M PISSING ON THE MOON! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT, OBAMA? I PISSED ON THE MOON YOU IDIOT! YOU HAVE 23 HOURS BEFORE THE PISS DROPLETS HIT THE FUCKING EARTH NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT BEFORE I PISS ON YOU TOO.

Oh man, I've been waiting for this one.

I know the plot's pretty stupid and cheesy, and its lows are low, but it also has some very high highs.

The whole opening sequence with Sonic escaping the GUN helicopter and then City Escape. "I'll make you eat those words!" Shadow saving Rouge before the Security Hall explodes. Eggman blowing up half the moon. "Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog." "Because you just told me, fox boy!" Tails beating Eggman without Sonic's help. Sonic using Chaos Control with the fake emerald. "What you see is what you get, just a guy who loves adventure!"

I know it's unintentional, but the characters constantly talking over each other also gives it the most natural dialogue in probably the whole Sonic series. If only the voice acting itself was a little better.

I'm conflicted here but I think I'll hit it with a somewhat generous:

7.5/10

Oh man I nominated this ages ago.

So tempted to give this a 10 lol, but I'll stick with 7.5/10. It's a really fun story! Embrace the silliness and it's a total pleasure to experience, imo.

---

Yeah I don't know why but I really dig how the game juggles the 6 characters and the plot. Best part is there actually is a world map that shows how all the levels relate to each other spatially.

I don't know how I'd feel if I were a big Genesis fan, SA1 also established the 3D tone, but as my introduction to Sonic this game was pretty rad. Shadow "I'm the coolest" who uses jet shoes to be as fast as Sonic is hilarious and awesome. His whole arc is him misremembering a promise. It sounds like I'm railing on it but somehow it's awesome. Great climax.

7/10

---

Wow, I don't even know where to begin with this one.

Super cheesy. Horrendous dialogue. Obnoxious yet colorfully defined characters. Shadow has a decent character arc.

3.5/10

"What have you done to Sonic? I'll never forgive you for this."
And then Tails was a robot.
...
Screw it. 7.

3.5.

It tries and fails, though I dont hate it.

---

Really it deserves lower - even Shadow's character arc isn't conveyed very well - but I love Sonic so I'm admittedly biased.

---

I really enjoy Shadow & Maria, and the rest is fine

I like the part where Knuckles says, "Yeah Rouge, she's sexy and smooth"

Guess he was a regular hedgehog after all
