Sonic games usually have it's own thing and thats why so many either love it or lump it. When Shadow's game was planned, they wanted it to be as edgy and gun-ho as games leading the market were, such as CoD, GTA and other various shooting games.

If shadow wants to carry fire-arms and ride motorcycles despite his variety of energy attacks and super-speed then thats fine as long as Sega doesn't shove it down in it's audience.
