I can’t think of a single other game in a franchise that leans so damn hard into an opposing theme to the main series of games. It would be like if they released a high effort Mario spin-off where you play as Bowser committing realistic war crimes across the Mushroom Kingdom.
I remember as a kid playing this is took me about 15 runs going down the neutral chaos emerald path to realise you could take different paths with different level endings. Yup, I played through the same 6 levels about 15 times until I realised I had missed out on about 80% of the game. Truly an epic child gamer moment.
I got the game as a little kid and then was too scared to play through the first level because of the monsters and everything being dark. From time to time I would conjure the courage to try it once again but that road after the cinematic was too much for me
You brought back so many memories for me; as a kid I was thinking this game was "badass" until I found out he said "damn, not here" every time he died, and I would laugh every time 🤣
I wish there was one specific spot where you could die and he'd say "Finally, here" because "damn not here" implies he'd be ok with dying if it wasn't there

My only experience of this game was the real time fandub, so seeing that the source material was legitimately just as wild? Tears of joy watching this video, man.
I remember I got this game by literal complete accident as a kid, my grandpa decided to surprise me and asked me what game I wanted from GameStop one time, and well shadow was my favorite video game character of all time so I wanted to play more games with him in them, and so I told my grandpa I wanted Shadow the Hedgehog. I had no idea this game even existed. I was actually amazed when I found out there actually WAS a Shadow game, not only that but it was literally the coolest game ever, like it was made for me! Of course when I heard shadow swear for the first time I knew I had to play the game in secret, and that’s exactly what I did. Good times those were.
Its a 9/11 era sonic game where the player character, in addition to the series tradition of bad 3d platforming, can wield automatic weapons to kill the president of the united states before proceeding to shoot the series mascot to death and giveing aliens magic rocks to end all life on earth in a giant gas cloud.

The "This is like taking candy from a baby, which is fine by me" line was supposed to be interpreted as Shadow being ok with how easy it was to steal the emerald, but instead it comes off like he's actually ok with stealing candy from babies.
I had this game when I was a kid and my parents took it away because Shadow said “damn” when he died. Thanks mom and dad for saving me from being truly corrupted
This game was made for ME. 8 years old and obsessed with shadow after adventure 2 battle. I remember getting it for Christmas and loving every minute of it as a little kid who just thought anything involving shadow was fucking rad. They delivered to their target audience in spades. (Except that space mission with Maria, that sucked balls)
What's really amazing about this game is that there are more than 300 paths you can take and each and every one of them has its own unique name like "Tears Shed by the Stars" or "A Flame Extinguished by Fate".
It’s crazy going from an incredibly in depth video essay on an intricate story about video game Indiana Jones ending with announcing you’re having a child to then playing shadow the hedgehog. Never change Dunkey
Fun fact: this is the first game where you can shoot guns while a bee talks to you. Imagine, a whole genre, the genre we all know and love, began right here. Hideo Kojumbo, who we all know and love, was inspired by this game to make his famous Metal Gear character we all know and love: John Painful, who shoots bee bullets from a bee gun and talks to bees. It's this type of nested metanarrative that makes Kojumbo the strand man that we all know and love

I have a very clear memory of getting this game as a kid and then my mom hid it from me because GUN, but she hid it on top of a lamp which then melted the game case and warped the disc over time. Found the game a few months later and cried. 10/10 would play it again
I remember being like 7 years old playing this game and I didn’t even know about the good or evil pathways so every time I played I was unknowingly doing the pure neutral pathway and whenever I got to the lightspeed trail in Sky Troops I never got past it cause I didn’t know how to do the lightspeed dash.Good ole days.
This game spoiled me for choices. Shadow the Hedgehog puts plenty of role playing video games to shame, which is weird consider how bad the writing is.
He's got the looks, he's got the attitude, AND he has the power to flirt with any male character in the Sonic universe. If only we could see him take wing!!
Fun Fact: when shadow says “i’m going to destroy this damn planet”, it’s actually a very subtle hint towards his true nature of evil
holy shit! I didn't catch that!!!!

Did someone at Sega really write “I am the most powerful hedgehog in the world” and think that it was the most hardcore thing for Shadow to say?
There aren’t even that many anthropomorphic hedgehogs in the world to begin with.
Makes more sense in context because he specifically wanted to defeat Sonic in the scene before lol

@@MastaGambit I always interpreted them as such at the time. Either way I'm sure I've heard it used elsewhere before Sadow the edgehog
1:57 I’VE UPDATED MY AUDIO EQUIPMENT
I was so unironically hyped for this game as a kid. Crazy to think its a meme 😂
Brooo the soundtrack in this game goes so hard. Never Turn Back still lives in my head all these years later rent free
One of the best soundtracks in the entire series it’s so slept on
I Am... All Of Me goes harrrrrd
The Doom definitely awakened a love of Jungle music in me
I have a very clear memory of getting this game as a kid and then my mom hid it from me because GUN, but she hid it on top of a lamp which then melted the game case and warped the disc over time. Found the game a few months later and cried. 10/10 would play it again
Moms was trippin she could’ve burned the whole house down
Wow that just hit me with a whole bunch of nostalgia. I forgot how simple the graphics actually were compared to todays games.
Thank you for finally making this video, Dunkey! :)
This game really makes you feel like no one can tell you what to do
i have no shame in admitting I used to watch the intro to this game on repeat as a child. shit went TOO HARD
I remember one of my friends showed me this game not long after it came out and I got really upset that Sonic died in the intro.
I did the same thing but with Sonic Heroes
Sonic fans are the physical embodiment of shame. You don't have it, yet you are it.
This game has the best soundtrack! I still remember it even after all these years.
I remember being like 7 years old playing this game and I didn’t even know about the good or evil pathways so every time I played I was unknowingly doing the pure neutral pathway and whenever I got to the lightspeed trail in Sky Troops I never got past it cause I didn’t know how to do the lightspeed dash.Good ole days.
2:02 foreshadowing to dunkey’s baby. cant believe shadow is having dunkey’s kid.
This game was my first experience at "choose your own adventure" type stuff. I was very young at the time and had this for the PS2.
This game spoiled me for choices. Shadow the Hedgehog puts plenty of role playing video games to shame, which is weird consider how bad the writing is.
@@InShortSight and if you wanted the true ending, you'd have to get through all previous endings
@@InShortSightYou're joking, right?
Yuk, I'm sorry to hear that man.
@@MrHeroicDemon lmao chill what's wrong about it that makes you say yuck
Holy cow. Those are some neurons that never expected to fire again. Thanks for the nostalgia. - A 28 year old.
I almost passed out from nostalgia seeing this glorious piece of art again thank you Dunk man❤❤
Finally Dunkey is playing a real videogame, the peak of gaming in the 2000's
Finally. After 18 years, you review a masterpiece.
*27 years
I'm not so sure that was a review but I'll take it
He's got the looks, he's got the attitude, AND he has the power to flirt with any male character in the Sonic universe. If only we could see him take wing!!
this video has early-era dunkey vibes ,,, thank you paul beenis
0:08 I still can’t get over Shadow’s pump-action assault rifle
Pump action rifles do exist - though none of them look like that.
i remember playing mostly the split screen arena fights with my brothers in this game it was soo damn fun .
Same! Had a lot of good times with my brother on that mode.
" You can't use metal sonic that's cheating" and " stop screen watching me" were heard a lot growing up
"I know you may look like me, but I know you're just a fake."
"Let's see which of us is the fake, then."
I vaguely remember also being able to control shadow’s companion in the story mode if you had a second controller. But I remember it was very limited.
ok
thank you for doing a video about the best video game ever created
This is my childhood god damn it, crazy game, crazy action, crazy hedge stuff, much style, much badass, much wow, incredibly cool 😎
This game was my childhood - the replayability of this game is unmatched
Good lord...
The game was okay.
This game really makes you feel like a hedgehog's shadow
It makes me feel like I'm the coldest
Definely made me laugh despite me already knowing all of this game, amazing.
I named my dog after this game…
RIP Shadow 2005-2016
This game really makes you FEEL like OW THE EDGE
