Shadow the Hedgehog: Goon with a Gun

Shadow who?

Just kidding. I know who Shadow is. Unfortunately for Sega, not all gamers who know Shadow will want to play the new Sonic Riders game which was released today. The star of the new game from Sega is Shadow, Sonic the Hedgehog’s nemesis.

I love Sonic – and Shadow – but the way the new game has been constructed, I don’t think I’ll like them anymore. Imagine Shadow the Hedgehog using guns. Yup. Guns. He’s still running in this game, but the fact that he had to be a goon with a gun doesn’t impress me at all. So gamers these days like the third-person action games with guns and violence, but I don’t think Sonic Riders had to be like that to appeal to the gamers.

Tsk, tsk.
