'''''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.
