''Shadow the Hedgehog'' is a 2005 game in the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series that focuses on the [[Anti-Hero]] black hedgehog, Shadow. The game begins with Shadow on the outskirts of Westopolis, just as the sky turns blood red and aliens begin swooping in to invade. Shadow is [[Somebody Else's Problem|about to turn away, uncaring,]] but a strange creature with a terrible voice speaks his name, calling on him to bring the alien leader - by the name of [[Obviously Evil|Black]] [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|Doom]] - the [[MacGuffin|Chaos Emeralds]]. Thus begins Shadow's personal quest of self-discovery, which can take any one of 326 (!!!) paths through the game's 22 levels. |

While the typical controls of the 3D entries in the Sonic series apply to some extent, it is playable as a third-person shooter, a different direction for the franchise. Its [[Darker and Edgier]] tone, Shadow's constant [[Wangst|Wangsting]], and frequent [[Contemplate Our Navels|navel-gazing]] turned many fans of the franchise away, and the game was thoroughly thrashed by critics. On another note, this game marks the debut of the [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] cast from ''[[Sonic X]]'' into the video games. Ironically, they started off doing the Sonic game that's the ''least'' kid-friendly. |
