Shadow The Hedgehog boldly combines the excitement of high-speed action-platformers with the intensity of third-person shooters. Created as the Ultimate Life Form, Shadow is a rebel tormented by a dark past, and he is struggling to unveil his true identity. Was he created to save humankind or to do the evil bidding of the dark side? His only clues are his own forgotten memories, and those secrets can only be unlocked through the powers of seven Chaos Emeralds. Now, the once peaceful planet is under siege by a new malevolent force. The government must take whatever means necessary to stop this deadly attack. Events of the past come to haunt all involved. Timing is critical and the Chaos Emeralds are at the heart of it all. Everyone is after them. In order to secure the Emeralds, Shadow must play both sides...but the path he takes will ultimately be up to you! Shadow the hedgehog game/cutscenes is © of Sega/Sonic Team.
