I'm the biggest Shadowfag in the world and I don't like Shadow's game. A part of me even wishes it didn't happen.
>Yuji Naka: "When we took a look at which Sonic characters were popular among fans, Shadow was ranked right behind Sonic. We've also wanted to do a "gun action" game for a while now, and he seemed to be the best fit for that idea."
>Katano Tetsu (Black Knight Producer and Director): "Objections? Why, yes, of course! I mean, I myself e-mailed Iizuka (producer and director of Shadow the Hedgehog) saying that Shadow shouldn’t hold guns."
So they had the idea for a gun action game for a while, and decided they'd use Shadow as their guinea pig for it because he's popular, despite Sonic Team employees themselves objecting to it. The reception of the game permanently damaged Shadow's character and the public perception of him. There are people to this day who think Shadow is obsessed with guns, when the reality is that guns were one of many weapons you could use in that game and Shadow has no preferences so long as it allows him to achieve his goals. Like Iizuka said, he doesn't *need* a weapon because he *is* a weapon.
I also feel like it was unnecessary to add evil aliens to an already complex story about an amnesiatic artificial science experiment. A couple of the Doom powers are cool, but that's it. It just doesn't do much good for Shadow's story. It sticks out like a sore thumb in Shadow's 2001 - 2006 arc.
