Shadow The Hedgehog 2

Shadow the Hedgehog 2 is a 3rd person shooter that is a sequel to the 2005 original. It is made to be different from all the other sonic games, being aimed at an older demographic. The game also features story elements from Sonic 06 and Sonic Rivals 2

Gameplay
The game plays differently from the original, as it incorporates more shooter elements, removing most of the fast-paced running that the original had. The game still keeps core mechanics from the Sonic Adventure Era games. Shadows walking speed has been reduced, as to fit the level design of the game, which includes linear levels with obstacles.

Gunplay in this game is vastly improved, borrowing elements from Yakuza: Dead Souls, Shadow can pick up guns from enemies as well as equip any from the get-go. Melee combat is also a reliable choice as you can use it while holding a gun. The game also includes vehicular levels which act almost like a normal sonic game. The player can now equip 4 weapons at the same time, with the 4th slot being used for empty hands.

Unlike the previous game which had branching paths, the game is entirely linear, with no branching paths, with the exception of several events where the player can choose to make decisions.

Shadow Story
TBA

Nack Story
Nack's story is more of a straight line, it is like a series of missions which has little to do with the main story. It's more of a different mode than an actual story.
