44: That people hate his game just coz he uses guns in it.

So what if using guns isn't Sonic's style? This is Shadow, not Sonic. They have no more reason to hate it than Sonic Adventure for Gamma shooting missiles. Tails's game had him use bombs as his main weapons. And you can still use homing attacks, the guns are just more powerful and useful for dealing with stronger enemies. I didn't care for some of the levels but many were enjoyable and the final boss is always fun to fight. Also it explains the rest of Shadow's backstory. And you get the Chaos Emeralds by beating the levels instead of special stages, that damn THIRD Chaos Emerald in Sonic Heroes took me forever to get. But Shadow the Hedgehog is probably my second favorite game next to Sonic Adventure. (Sonic the Hedgehog 2 being third, honorable mention goes to Sonic Rush, Sonic Generations, and Sonic Riders)
