Definitely better than Heroes. It's easier to tolerate.

>>735987092It doesn't have Power type fans but I would still rather play Heroes than Shadow.
Why are the PS2 versions of Heroes and Shadow so terrible? How did that happen?
>>735987092It's less jank than Heroes, thats why I rank it higher
>>735987092Agreed, but that's a low bar.
imo the most tedious part of heroes is the slow combat and drawn out objectives and shadow mostly fixed them. it still has some stinkers like the ARK and cyberspace levels, but you always get to be a speed-type character and the guns are fun to use.heroes' graphics and music are more timeless, but shadow is a more fun game.
>>735987802Heroes was developed with Gamecube as the lead platform and Sonic Team struggled to adapt it to PS2's weaker specs, like the less conventional GPU with less VRAM. While PS2 could do a lot if you knew how to use it, making a game around the Gamecube's specs and then porting it to PS2 was a nightmare that virtually everyone struggled with.For Shadow, they pivoted to developing for PS2 as the lead platform, but they still weren't very good at PS2 development, so it still ran poorly, it just had better visual parity than Heroes.
>>735987092Heroes is a good idea executed poorly. Shadow was a bad idea executed not as poorly but still not good enough to redeem the idea. Ironically it doesn't go edgy enough. Like if it were completely over the top with it and shifted more focus towards the combat and guns then it would just be Devil May Cry for furries.
>>735987092That time I wanted to play with mobians, now I want to fuck em.The time really flying isn't?
>>735987092are you mentally ill? its the last good sonic game after adventures 2
>>735993652>he got filtered by unleashed
>>735987092Um, hell no.
>>735993652 >last good sonic game bro it’s literally a branching-path tech demo held together by butt rock and edge quotes I like Shadow too but let’s not pretend replaying Westopolis 10 times to get the “true” ending is peak design. SA2 and Unleashed clear it easy. Shadow’s just fun in a “this shouldn’t exist” kinda way.
