I am very excited for this. One part of my childhood that I've never been able to let go of is my total fanboy-ism of Shadow.
Shadow is a cool character. Gotta wonder if they are going to be as daring about this one as they were in the Shadow game, but I see no guns so probably not.
I'd honestly be happier with no guns. Not sure if that was their greatest move, in their effort to make him 'edgier'. He was perfect in SA2 and Sonic Heroes.
Sonic Adventure 2 is great but it hurts me every time someone says how good Sonic Heroes was. Sonic Heroes was the most paper-thin every character has been in the 3D era. They just took a couple stereotypical quotes for each character and called it a day. The scant little they did with Shadow was only the barest setup for Shadow the Hedgehog.
Shadow the Hedgehog was overly edgy but at least they tried to do some character exploration and what-ifs. I got some chuckles from how over the top the Dark paths went but some routes and the True ending seemed to fit his actual character just fine.
Character-wise I'd say Sonic Battle was one of the best entries, but the gameplay had nothing to do with anything Sonic.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I enjoyed Heroes for what it was.
I agree that Sonic Battle was one of, if not the best entries for character building. And SB is, in fact, my all-time favourite Sonic game. Breaks me that I may never see a sequel / reboot, and get to relive Emerl's story.
