Blog:Shadow the Hedgehog (Fandom version)

Shadow the Hedgehog (also called OW THE EDGE) is a video game published by Sega in 2005.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Slippery controls similar to Sonic Heroes (maybe even worse).
 * 2) Level design ranges from boring (most levels) to maze-shaped (Lost Impact, The Doom and Central City).
 * 3) Mediocre story with anticlimactic moments (and edgys) and plot holes.
 * 4) You must have all 10 finals to get the Final Story and you must at least finish the game 326 times for 100%.
 * 5) Boss battles are incredibly easy and some can be finished in seconds.
 * 6) The missions where you must kill all the enemies are repetitive.
 * 7) Realistic weapons mechanics feel weird for a Sonic spin-off game.
 * 8) The voice acting of some characters is boring (Rouge and most of humans) or annoying (Charmy).
 * 9) Chaos Control can be easily exploited in neutral missions and the Chaos Blast only serves as a filler.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Shadow is still a good character (most of the time)
 * 2) Good soundtrack, especially the vocal themes.
 * 3) Good voice acting.
 * 4) Some levels are fun.
 * 5) The weapons are at least entertaining to use.

Reception
It received mixed to negative reviews.
