ARGH I forgot all about the "Sonic" "game" with a gun. What evil cult sealed Yuji Naka and Common Sense into the Dimensional Tower using four dragon seals, and how can they be broken to free him, since there's no way he could be involved in this........right..?
This also reminds me of some awesome enraged letter to the editor (or maybe a bbs) insisting that Sonic Adventure be called Tails Knuckles Stupid Adventure instead I read one time. I wonder where it was.

They must be joking but if they aren't that may make the joke even funnier. Between this game and Jaws Unleashed the PS2 is going to have some great camp stuff coming at the end of it's system life. I love how the Sonic games have gone from being "Mario, but edgy" to "GTA, but cute."

Shadow the hedgehog has EVERYTHING that's wrong with today's gaming.
The Sonic Team deserves to be raped to death by Charmy Bee.
Hey at least Shadow is representing the Westside. I hope the music will be G funky too. I'm pretty sure this game will be bad. But hopefully not Sonic Heroes bad.

I dunno but giving Shadow a car and a motorbike seems pretty dumb considering his super ability is running at supersonic speeds. It's kind like giving hawkman a hang glider.

I doubt he's happy with Shadow either. I saw him at E3 right near the big display for Shadow and he kind of kept his eyes averted from it. I could have been because of all the people taking their pictures with Shadow pointing a gun at their heads.
After playing Sonic Rush though, it's hard to hate him.

With the doctored image I would say that Shadow wants to show off his ride but considering in the actual screenshot the car looks worse than the vehicles from the first Twisted Metal game I can't imagine he's going to impress anyone with that rolling box. Maybe it's that while he can run really fast all the time he doesn't necessarily want to. Sometimes it's simply easier to drive around and shoot things.

Yeah, he looks like a guy with no thumb trying to give a thumbs-up (but not very hard). Maybe he's a guy WITH a thumb, who just isn't into it enough to get it up. I don't think I could manage a thumbs up around anything large and furry, myself.

Techincally Hawkman's wings ARE a hang glider/jetpack thing (they're not organic, well I think one version of Hawkman might have organic wings, but MOST incarnations of the characters have them as removable)
Plus, maybe Shadow gets TIRED of running all the time... you might not have super speed but you have regular walking, do you walk everywhere? Why do you need a car?! That's like giving Aquaman a little underwater jetski!
In the cartoons maybe Sonic (and we'll assume Shadow's ablities are equal to his) does that retarded "hey who wants Chinese food! (ZIP) Okay I'm back from China, who wanted the Peking Duck?!" BS, but in the games he doesn't really move THAT fast, not fast enough you wouldn't think he'd get tired going on a long distance trip where a car would be useful for him.
Blanka and Dan make for a most excellent tag image (yeah still not funny)

Where is his other hand in relationship to Shadow's back? It looks like he's playing grab-ass with a cheap hedgehog costume.

Yes most of Hawkman's wings aren't real but they do give him flight so having to use a hangglider would be a downgrade in his abilities. I still think within the games Sonic is supposed to be faster than a car would be.
Either way it kinda trivializes their powers. If you take away Shadow's speed, who the hell is he? Maybe they'll work it in that Shadow has to drive cross country to find the real killers/his long lost daughter/Lincoln's gold so it might not be so bad. It's not really a big deal by itself but I think it's one part of why this game is fundementally a bad idea.
Aquaman is so lame that he really doesn't factor into the equation so using him as an example of anything isn't fair.

Is it just me or does Shadow remind me of one of those "bad" gremlins with the white stripe on his chest and black hair compared to good ol' Gizmo, or "Sonic".

A sonic game with gun was always a ridiculous idea IMO. If only they where trying to do good game sequels for Nights or Buning ranger....
