I am and avid Sonic fan. Ever since I was 3 I've been hooked on Sonic. Sonic R was my first game, after all. That being said one of my favorite characters in all of fiction is Shadow the Hedgehog. So, you can imagine my surprise when I found out he had his very own game. Now I'm going into this review without any bias. I'm not excusing anything just because it's Sonic. So without further ado, let's begin the review.
Gameplay: Have you played Sonic Adventure 2, or Heroes? If so you'll be glad to know that the gameplay is the same. For those of you who don't know Shadow can run, wall jump, and do a homing attack. There is something else added though. "What is it", I hear you ask. Well, I'll tell you. It's guns and vehicles. Now before you attack the game for having these game mechanics, they're optional and are not mandatory to use. The other gameplay mechanic is choosing to follow the good, evil or neutral path in order to progress the story, revealing different parts of Shadow's past. Overall the gameplay is pretty solid and follows the Sonic formula to a T. 4.5/5
Control: But what would gameplay be without the controls? Long story story short the controls work but can be slippery at times. 4/5
Story: This particular game follows Shadow's quest to find answers bout his past. No matter what path you choose though you'll always end up on the alien stronghold but there are a few things that must happen. The leader of the Black Arms, Black Doom, comes to Shadow and tells him of "the promised time" and how Shadow needs to bring him the 7 Chaos Emeralds. Shadow goes after them and one way or another gets them. Since this is a choose-your-own adventure game there are several different stories so I'll just go to the ending. SPOILERS!!!! Eventually Shadow and his friends make it to the Black Comet where it is revealed that Shadow is part Black Arm and is immune to Black Doom's toxins. He then goes after BD where it is revealed that he is Shadow's biological father and that he was created by Dr. Gerald Robotnik created Shadow to stop BD. After a fight BD is defeated and harmony is brought onto the world. 3/5
Overall:
4.5/5 + 4/5 + 3/5
11.5/15 or 77%
Overall SHtH is a game that's with your time and you should check out. If you see it buy it.
Signing off, the beaniEDude.

DOVEWING PVO
Tigerheart and Dovewing had finished playing around and were lying in the Great Oak together.
Dovewing was breathing in Tigerheart's soft muscular scent and playing with his tail gently. He was sharing tongues with her and talking about each other's life together.
Dovewing was content to be there with him, it had been ages and there were no other cats here, no Bumblestripe, no jealousy. No Ivypool and Toadstep, Cinderheart and Liomblaze and everybody telling her to get a mate, like Bumblestripe.
She was there with who she loved and who she cared about most.
TIgerheart began talking to her slowly, calmly, contently.
"Dovewing, I love you more than ever!" He purred.
"I love you too, Tigerheart." Dovewing murmured.
She crouched down and started to lick his smooth fur and he played around.
"Tigerheart..." Dovewing began.
"Yeah?" Tigerheart asked.
"Will you move to ThunderClan?" She asked.
