His early appearances were a little too 'edgy' for my taste, but when Shadow came out in '05, I think he earned his spot in the Sega universe - both critically and figuratively. The whole game has a fresh, mature theme, and a new taste of classic platforming that really gives the game a big boost. It's been compared to DOOM, but I think Shadow the Hedgehog has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

In 2005, Sonic Team released this, for the 6th generation of gaming consoles, their most accomplished era. I think their best game in this era is Shadow 2005, a game so shocking most people probably don't notice the underlying humanity, but they should. Because it's not just about the the allure of violence, and presence of guns in children's games, it's also a personal statement about Team Sonic itself!
