In the case of Shadow the game is about Shadow AND you play only as Shadow. Sure the story can be focused around Character A,B, or C but the hero of the story is going to always be Sonic. the only reason he doesn't continue with it is that his memories slowly returns and he remembers what Maria told him.Д®very single character in that game is simply reacting to Shadows plot for revenge. It's all about Shadow and his plan for revenge. This sets of the chain of events for the story as a whole as well as Shadow as the one conrolling everything. how does Eggman react? He goes and steals the master emerald. 'Bring me more chaos emeralds' and where? 'On the central control room. When Eggman revives shadow, what does shadow say? He'll grant Eggman a wish. but what they and Eggman don't realise is that Shadow is the one who is manipulating him. Shadow wants to go to ark, he knows that it's weapon systems will destroy those who tried to hurt him and who took Maria from him. Not to mention, look at the plot of the game, Shadow is the one with the power in that game, Eggman might revive him, but shadow is pulling the strings, he manages to manipulate Eggman to Ark, he's the one that actually convinces Eggman to help him try and carry out his revenge on the world for what they did to him and his best friend (Maria). Sonic Adventure 2 sets up the idea that Shadow might actually be the original and that Sonic is a copy, it's only until the end of that game that we know Sonic isn't a clone or anything like that. For just about every encounter for the first 3 quarters of the game, the idea behind Shadow is that he's supposed to be in effect a Sonic type character, all be it his moodly dark counterpart.

The whole plot of Sonic Adventure 2 is that theres this guy who looks like Sonic running around commiting crimes and doing bad stuff. So it got changed, mainly, added more focus on Sonic and a greater selection of characters. fans complained about it, mainly a lack of characters. Also don't forget, when Sonic Adventure 2 was in production, it looked completely different before public demos started to appear and. It continues and arguably closes the adventure plot line and features just about every major plot device that Adventure 2 had. So what? Sonic Adventure 2 is arguably all about shadow, yet nobody complains about that one.
