Ouro, Sonic Team & SEGA were trying to do something new because people complained that Shadow played too much like Sonic, so guns, vehicles, and boom! Different Character, Different Gameplay. And the swearing, people have mixed opinions about it, but me, I wouldn't mind have them swear once in a while.
